Graduation

So Graduation is almost here, guys...  We've made it through the mandatory number (ahem. well, less in my case) of days of our Senior year.

We've sent out announcements, planned parties, said farewell on class trip, and are finally here.  Tomorrow we don our caps and gowns for rehearsal.  Then Sunday we say goodbye, not necessarily for good, but for now.  We all leave to spend our summers separately, just as we have for the 12 years prior, but this time, we're not all coming back together at the end.

It's bittersweet; I'm not sure if I'm ready for the finality of it all.

Granted, I'm super pumped to go to college, but I'm sad I won't be with the same people I have since I was 5.  I'm excited for new opportunities, but sad that old ones have to go away.

We're here on the verge of real life.  We've got colleges, jobs, and careers waiting for us.  It's totally unpredictable at this point.

It's time to begin again as the small fish and work our way back up.  I know we'll all meet again at some point, and I'm okay saying goodbye.

Although I'll definitely cry at Graduation. =)
