I'm really sad.
I've finally found my place in high school (hence why I haven't been on the boards in foreverrrzzz), and then it ends.
Jeez.
This sucks. I'm terrified. I don't want high school to end.

    everything will work out...
    congrats on graduating...
  • woodmaid8woodmaid8
    Congrats! Don't be scared, though. I went through it last year, and I though my life would end (I was going to a small school where I didn't know anyone in a foreign state), but it didn't. In college you find out a lot about yourself and who your true friends for life really are. If you want to keep up with your friends from high school, you will, don't worry. But it is a harsh reality to know that you won't be seeing the same people everyday like you used to. However, with this change comes new people that you may end up dating, getting married, and having kids with. Don't think of it as an ending, think of it as a new chapter beginning.

    Today was my last day of school. I wanted to cry because of that because I'm not going to see my friends as much as I would like (most of them are underclassmen).

    After lunch today I got so many hugs, I wanted to cry. My friend Katie told me not to cry because she would start crying.

    and my friend Mason gave me over 10 hugs today.

    It is really hard, I didn't think I would feel this bad. But it hit me today that I wouldn't be a high school student anymore. After 13 years of school, I'm done. It's like I don't know what to do now (though I'm going to college later). It's a lost, sad feeling that I don't like.

    By time graduation (mine is June 4), I'm going to be crying so much. Even my best friend, Heather, said she wanted to cry today. And she really hates school. I knew that if she felt the same way I did, it's really over.

    It's sad, but soon you'll only remember the good times and not wish to be that age again. I cried the last day of school, but now I'm not sad, I'm happy, life after high school is amazing.

    Promise?? Because I'm only in 10th and I worry about this on a daily basis.
  • woodmaid8woodmaid8
    Promise. I'm happier than I ever was in high school. I thought I knew everything in high school, but I didn't. This one year of college has taught me more than my entire 19 years before this. I know so much more about myself than I ever did.

    Absolutely true. College is amazing--I didn't mind high school that much when I was in it, but now I don't know why I put up with it for so long, haha. The same (finding out about myself) has happened to me also, though slightly different...here's hoping your college isn't flooded by a huge hurricane your first week there! smile.gif

    And these days it's insanely easy to keep in touch with the people you want to continue talking to (FACEBOOK--join now if you haven't already, though be warned it might take over your life). AIM is also great. I was really scared when high school ended, but now I'm glad it did. College really is so much more about finding yourself and I personally love it.

    There is nothing worse than the feeling of being alone after finishing school. But the excitement of moving away (if you do) to go to college, and actually being treated like a real adult is so much more exciting. I finish Uni this time next year. Now THAT is scary. I have no more schooling to fall back on, I have to go out into the real world, and get a full time job, and move out and just grow up. I'm terrified. Honestly, leaving school is so much fun, you guys should be grateful you've got so much time left in education, its really easy going smile.gif

  • doctor5capdoctor5cap
    the whole "finding my place" thing took a while for me in highschool too....

    congrats on grad. Go to prom or else you'll regret it... tongue.gif
  • RejectedSpongeRejectedSponge
    haha I went to prom, and hated it... the only reason I went was because my best friend organized it.
    This summer is SUPPOSED to be amazing.. but I don't know...
  • woodmaid8woodmaid8
    The summer before college sucked to me, I was working non-stop, kind of like this summer.

    Yeah mine wasn't particularly interesting, but it wasn't too bad. It's kinda fun buying new stuff for a dorm room and talking to your new roomie and such. What are you doing next fall?

    God, I would be so awkward about living with a stranger.
  • QueenofthePosersQueenofthePosers
    eh I still am but it works. Luckily it's only one year then you get to pick who you live with--I'm soooo excited about my suite next year.
  • PearlPearl
    Congrats on graduating. Trust me I felt the same way back then, but everything turns out for the best. It's hard not seeing your friends on a regular basis, but as long as we keep in contact I'm happy. College life will be super fun though, you'll make a ton of cool new friends, and you'll be hit on more wink.gif lol

    So don't fret, I'm sure you're gonna enjoy your College years a lot.... except for finals.. those are SUCH a bitch.

    Um also Amanda..... end of high school = St. Andrews, and thats what you've wanted for HOW LONG?!? God I remember talking to you about it like, years ago, I swear, cos I was thinking about going to Aberdeen Uni, and I went to St Andrews and it was really lovely. You're gonna have an awesome time (and EVERYONE will want to be your friend cos you're the cool American girl biggrin.gif)

    It was at first, but you get used to it. It's even more weird going back home after you've been gone so long.
