Graduation Day

Tomorrow, June 10th, 2012, I graduate High School.

It's hard for me to wrap my mind around it. I mean, I get what graduation is, but my only real experience with seeing Graduation happen comes from Gilmore Girls and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So, yeah. No real graduations.

Friends from other schools are posting photos on Facebook.

It's strange to think that we walk across a stage of sorts, and are given a piece of paper, and then we are done. It's finalized. We are permitted to continue on with our lives. Do whatever we plan to do after High School.

As this day has been coming closer, I've realized just how quickly it seems as though grades K through 12 have gone by. I have snippet memories-- and I realize that even though I am someone who can get irrationally worried, I've had a great twelve (thirteen?) years. Has everything been perfect? No. Are there things I would change? Yes.

But all in all, it was a good set of years. And college is coming. The college I've wanted to go to since I was about eight.

And this summer is going to be wonderful. I'm going to see friends, new and old; read like crazy; get ready for college; walk; write; drink Passion Tea Lemonade; watch television shows I want to see/catch up on; and I'm going to make the most of it.

I may be scared, but I am also happy. Really, actually happy.
