High school = Done…

With everything that has happened throughout my high school career, i never thought i would get the opportunity to say “I’m finally done!”… But is it all that it is spiked up to be?!” For the most part….. Yes, you are out of high school(forever), and your really your own person now, but what about the friends you just left behind. Being that I made the move to North, there weren’t many of us seniors, so I resorted to making friends with juniors…I spent the endless school days with some select people that I am afraid that I will never see again after I am gone and moved to the South! Everybody always say, “Friends in high school hardly make it for a lifetime!?” Is this true? If so I am scared half to death.. I made really good friends! Some who know an insane amount about me.. There’s always room to try though!

I am definitely excited about everything though.. Graduation..Move in a little over a month…. New area… and the whole college atmosphere! It will be an interesting lifestyle change I think! Good one though!

Two days!

There are two days until prom! I can’t wait! So this year I’m thinking we don’t do one of those lame parties after prom that my friends are throwing. I think we will just go to post prom at school. There is a theme this year for post prom, the theme is the beach. I haven’t decided what to wear for that yet, but the best costumes a neat prize. I’m thinking that I just want to wear my swim trunks and a swim top, or I might see if I can borrow one of my life guard friends uniforms. Then I would buy a whistle,a little life saver, and then a visor. That would be cute, so I hope one of my friends will let me borrow it. Yay! Two days!

Here’s a video I found…. The song is by Hellogoodbye… It talks about the prom being on the 17th of may, just like my prom! Cool!
