Wow. After twelve long years of surviving the school walls and all the drama that comes with it, I am finally done. It is crazy to even think about knowing that after today I will only have four days left of school and one of them is to take finals so basically three. I never thought this day would come. I had always imagined it was never real.

This school year has been filled with ups and downs, all of which I am very grateful for considering it changed my perspective and opened my eyes to many new things. At the start of the school year, many of my friends and I were so excited for school to be out and summer to start, but as of now many of us don’t want to leave. No one ever imagined that this dream would turn into a reality. So much is happening just within these next two weeks, not only mine but every other senior’s life will never be the same. This weekend we have the prom dance and the next is graduation. Everyone is scrambling trying to get everything put together and in order before they are legally not in high school anymore which even sounds crazy to say.

No one ever wants to admit how scared or sad they are that they will be graduating and never be in high school again, but I am one of the people who is afraid to admit that. I know that life beyond high school is where I will make more memories and friends and build my life, but for now, this is all I have ever known. Wake up and go to school. Five days out of the week my life has been the same for the past twelve years and now there is a drastic change that I do not know if I am ready for.

To sum everything all up I am very grateful for all these twelve years of school have given me. I do not think I am ready to leave, but I know I am excited to go and make new memories and build my life. So now that this is my last blog post I feel like I need a cool ending phrase, but who knows maybe I will keep up with this whole blogging thing. Thank you high school for all the friends and memories you have ever given me. See you next year… well I guess not!
