I graduated High School. I don't think its really hit me yet. I mean, aside from college expenses, I still feel like I'll be going back to High School in September rather than entering my freshman year of college. To some people it's not that big of a deal, but to me, it's intense. My entire life has been devoted to doing as my parents say and obeying their world but as August 27th comes along, I'll be on my own. Obviously I'll still have my parents there, but I'll be living on campus and making my own decisions. It's crazy how fast time flies. I remember first moving to this small town and having to meet new people and make friends, and it feels like I'll be doing the same exact thing this coming Fall. I'll be in an entirely new environment with people that I don't know and I'll have to form friendships all over again. Not only that, but some of the friendships that have been so near and dear to my heart will probably soon fade due to the distance from college to college. I'll have to trust people all over again, and open myself up to let people see who I really am. I'll have to let down the walls and guards that I've had up for so long to begin friendships that will last a lifetime. I'll also have to let go of the immaturity and childishness of so many people and realize that I have to grow up and move on. Of course college is an experience that I've always dreamed of, but now that it's so close, I'm not sure how I feel about it. Should I cry because I'm scared or jump for joy because I'm happy? I guess this is one of those experiences where its taken day by day. I'm not sure how it'll go, but what I do know is that I'll make the best of whatever situation comes. Hopefully.
