Summer

The month of June is often filled with excitement. It's the last couple weeks of school and everyone knows the best time of year is coming. For seniors we are done a month before which is one of the best benefits of being a senior. So, It's early May and we are ready to get out. We have our caps and gowns ready in our bedrooms, and we're ready for the graduation parties. Coming to school is pointless to us, we just sit there and enjoy our last couple days of high school. It's May 21st, barley any sleep at all we wake up ready to graduate. We come to school get our cap and gowns ready and we are basically done with high school forever. We attend the senior walk and enjoy the laughs, cries and the long heart-felt hugs with our dear underclassmen friends, it's sad but it is apart of life. We exit the school and we meet our parents and we cry our eyes out and hug our parents and of course thank them for getting you through twelve years of school. Then we leave this place for good, not ever having to come back on our own terms, free at last.
Half way into summer and the dorm room shopping is almost complete and we have our plans for our room-mates and we are ready to go. As we prepare we attend as many graduation parties as possible to get a chance to see our good friends for the last time in a long time. We do as many fun activities with our close friends as we can and we promise we are never going to split up but in the back of our minds we know that it will happen, for we will meet new people and gain new friends with the same similarities as you and you will become close with new people. Yet you come back to visit your old friends, it's not the same as it was. You both know and you miss how it used to be, you start to miss high school, you realize it's apart of life. This is growing up, you're in college now and living on your own with new people you don't know. Every chance you get you come home to visit your parents and you've never been more happy to come home to your own house with your parents and eat good food that isn't a cheap TV dinner tray. This is college and growing up, you're ready to take on the challenge and nothing will get in your way, at least I hope.
