Futurama

There's a Spanish 1411 and Government 2301 final standing in the way of me being done with school and my first semester of college on May 8. As many other seniors are thinking, there is so little time left. Only once, maybe twice, have I stopped to be nostalgic. I was nostalgic last year, when school ended and I left for Germany two months while my best friends were here getting ready to leave. THAT made me sad.

But if we all think about it, we won't see like 90% of the people we knew in High school ever again, aside from the awkward "my wife-is-hotter-than-yours" reunions, and that's kind of sad too. I won't miss a lot of people unfortunately, but I will miss the knowing a lot of people. We'll all keep up our freshman year of college, then subconsciously drop each other.. also sad.

All this to say, sure we'll make new friends in the fall, but really, and truly, we should keep the old, at least some of them. I've come to grips with the fact that i don't have a ton of friends, but the friends I have, I know well, and can still know better. Just think how cool it'll be if we can have one or two people from high school you keep up with. I am awful at keeping up with people, like the queen of the awfuls, but after spending a summer with 25 people in Germland, I've learned how much I really need to keep up with them, and I can see how much I will need to keep up with friends here. It hurts when you get to know someone or someones so well, then all of a sudden, it ends. Sure you bump into them and reminice about the good ol days, but then your heart hurts a bit, because you want them back. Make new 'ol days. Go camping together again, go trudging through the mud. Stay out too late talking over slurpees. Go for a drive without a destination. Sign yearbooks. It can work, maybe.

Have a gr8 summer. Stay cool. U R A QT

And Let's all promise to catch up in a few years :)
