Thoughts

Summer is rapidly approaching, but at the same time, it seems forever from now. Another year has passed and I am that much closer to graduating high school. Being so close to being a senior invokes a lot of thoughts. I am happy because I am finally nearing the end of high school. I see graduation as a milestone; a milestone at which I'll leave a lot of things behind, never to look back. I'll be leaving behind fake people with no morals. I'll be leaving behind my childhood and begin the rest of my life. And as sad as it is to say, I'll also be leaving behind a lot of my dear friends. While college introduces you to the rest of your life, it can separate you from the ones you love. A lot of people will be going down different walks of life and will be separated by distance and an ever-growing amount of time, which can sever the bonds of a friendship. I hope and pray that I won't forever grow apart from my friends when I graduate. Right now, it's scary to be this close to the rest of my life, but I cannot imagine what seniors in high school or college feel like right now.
