The Big Day
I like to think of graduation as “the day I’ve been waiting for, but don’t want to come” because It’s an exciting day of course, I get to finally start living my life the way I’d like to, without having to worry about my grades and school 24/7. Although that’s true, it’s also a day I sort of wish would just go away and never happen. Because once that day comes, it’s over. My teen years, having fun, being carefree, and having a job at the same place as my best friend, will all change. I’ll no longer be guided by my teachers and mom, and I’ll have to figure things out for myself.
I'm afraid I’ll lose contact with the people most important to me. I know I won’t be able to speak to them as often, atleast at first so I can get used to being on my own, but I’ve heard about how most people lost contact with their high school friends entirely. I sincerely hope that won’t be the case because without my best friend, I would be completely lost. We already planned on getting an apartment together after graduation, but I’ve heard plenty of stories where that’s pretty much never worked out.
High school graduation and finally being on my own doesn’t always have to be a bad thing though. I’ll finally get to start the career I’m interested in, and the idea of living in my own space sounds amazing. I think it will be nice to move away and have a fresh start, where nobody knows who I am.
