Roughly 12 years later, I still get that same excited feeling! Especially on my Last First Day of high school. But this year, everything is different. Its a whole new ballgame ladies and gentlemen. The fact that this is my very last year of high school means I have to make every moment count. Whether its remembering the laughs I shared with my lunch table or cherishing the times spent in my royal blue cheer uniform, this is a year of lasts and I don't want to take for granted any of it.
Senior year isn't easy though. As seniors, my 57 classmates and I have lots of decisions to make. Were looking at colleges and contemplating majors and trying to figure out how to curb our ever growing senioritis. Instead of talking about that football hunk named Johnny, were now discussing what were going to do with our lives come may. Reality has set in and we now have to push past our fears and think hard about the future.
Back during those early first days, everybody always asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and I always answered "Britney Spears, duhhhh!". Now when people ask that exact same question, I always answer with a smile and say "I want to major in communications!" I feel like thats a good enough answer for now. :)
Katie - I know exactly how you feel! I was always the little girl that looked forward to school starting and I'd pick out my first day of school outfit a week in advance! And even in high school, I still looked forward to going back to school to see everyone that I didn't in the summer. But this year is different than all the others, because it's our last everything. This is the year that we have to start making decisions and focusing on our future and growing up a little bit more whether we like it or not. Keep up the good posts, I'll keep reading :)
