May 28th

May 28. My last day of high school. Life is truly not long enough. I can remember freshmen year thinking that in 4 year I would be graduating. It is now almost here.

The end is bittersweet.

I am happy to start the next chapter in my life. I am going to be a counselor at a camp in California! I really want to learn how to surf. I just hope that there is minimal drama & I apply sunscreen enough. Afterwards - college. I found the perfect college and I am pumped to meet new friends.

I am also ready for a new set of friends. I love my current friends but I've changed. I want to discuss collegial ideas. I have realized that I am a better friend to them than they are to me. It stinks but hopefully I will find friends that appreciate me as much as I appreciate them.

I am sad because these are people who I have grown up with. Some of them I have know for 12 plus years! The sad reality is that I won't see some of my classmates after graduation. Some of them won't come to reunions and others won't have facebooks. In addition, I will be going away for college so I won't be able to see my friends on weekends.

From the list the positives outweigh that negatives but I will definitely be wearing waterproof mascara on May 28th.

Lots of love,

Courtney
