Once again I've been sitting here reading The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. It's an amazing book. I have about 25 pages left I think. Anyway, that's not why I'm blogging.


I was reading and in the book the boy Charlie is upset because all of his friends have graduated, he is only finishing his freshman year, and he only has a week left to spend with his friends until they go off to college to get things organized and such. Strangely, it got me thinking. My brother graduates this year. It scares the living hell out of me. I can't really figure out why either. I don't have as many friends a grade above me (now seniors) as I did in other years, but I still do have senior friends. It's so strange to know that in six months I could never see them again. The year after, I graduate and who know what is going to happen? Next year when I am a senior will things be different for me? Will I be happy or sad? Maybe a mix of both. Right now we're all big wish in a small pond, we're all in high school, some freshman, some sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Where are we all the same? We all have been in high school for some amount of years. High school has been our comfort zone. We know our boundaries. We know what we can and cannot do. We know what we can get away with and what teachers we can get over on. When we graduate what's going to happen? We're going to be a small fish in a big... Oh forget the pond, we're going to be in the damn ocean. There's sharks in there man!


It's just a strange thought. In my opinion, I feel this year is going by quickly. It's already 2007! Of course most of us hate the drama and stupid crap that goes on in high school but that's what makes high school what it is.


It just scares the hell out of me to think that one day we're all going to be out of our comfort zone and not know what to do.
