The end of an era

Four years is a long time.
Four years to make friends (and in those four years, find who your real friends are). Four years to find innocent love. Four years to let loose and have fun. Four years to be okay not to make the best judgments & choices. Four years to stay young and not be in a hurry to grow up.

Thirteen more days until the end of an era, the end of high school. When we walk down the aisle, receive our diplomas, and move our tassles to the right; that's the end of it.

Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.

Enjoy and take in every moment you've spent in high school because it's a once in a lifetime kind of thing. But don't get stuck in it. There is a bigger world out there. High school is just a little part of you, it's not your whole life. So it doesn't matter if you were the cheerleader, the band geek, the nerd, the football player, or just the normal one. By the end of all this, just find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it.

"Pretty soon, we're all gonna graduate, and I can start over. But it'll be hard for people who need this place to make themselves feel special. People who use high school to build themselves up and then find out that the real world doesn't care so much about who you were in high school." -- One Tree Hill
