Graduation Brings Mixed Feelings
What are some things you look forward to in life? Somehow, now that graduation is coming nearer and nearer, I have more and more regrets about the whole situation. Fortunately, there's a relief for me in that I still have one year left to say all my goodbyes.
However, some of those goodbyes belong to this year's graduates. One is my best friend, another is a boyfriend. I feel just as much eagerness to get out of this place as they do, but really down inside I don't feel so keen about it.
I remember the way my best pal and I used to fight over silly things when we were nine, like who our husbands would be. Our choice was either Donny Osmond or David Cassidy. Just little things used to be so wonderful.
Even thinking about Girl Scouts brings memories to me, like thinking about how one tent would scare another, how the warm fires used to make me happy, and
Then there's the boyfriend. He's been understanding and everything a girl needs. Sometimes we have our disagreements, but my mother tells me that every couple has its share of problems. I'm going to miss him as well.
I'm going to miss other people too, not just seniors but the ones I never get to see over the summer. Friends are so busy with jobs, dates, etc.
Friends are peculiar people. They come when you least expect them to, just like boyfriends or crushes, and then they fade out to another place just as fast. Come to think of it, a friend of mine said or wrote that to me one time. I met this person on a weekend and now I don't know when I'll see this person again. We keep in touch and the best is yet to come, like every friendship.
