The next adventure

With graduation approaching for most of us, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the rapid changes our lives are going through in the next six months or so. My life is going to be completely different, and it's hard to believe I won't be at Dunbar with all the friends I've spent the past 12 years or so getting to know.

My family is moving out of the house I've lived in for ten years, and I'm moving away to live on my own.
We're graduating. It feels so strange to say and to think that in less than three months, I won't be a high schooler anymore. It is super cliche but very true that this semester has flown by. In two months I have to decide where I will be for the next four years. Some of you may know that I despise decisions and take hours to decide even where I'm going to eat dinner. So this is especially stressful for me.
In August, I'll be 18, able to make my own decisions and even order my own snuggie over the phone.
At least most of my friends are moving out of Lexington. I haven't decided where I'll be next year, but some of my friends have decided they're getting out of here. I don't know what I'll do without you all (Lookin' at you, Sanch) but I just hope we'll all stay friends no matter how far away we are.

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about graduation lately, and leaving to live on my own. I decided the most stressful part will be having no one to make food for me. Luckily, that's what meal plans are for. And as sad as I am to leave Dunbar behind, I can't wait to be at college and living on my own. I just wanted to say thank you to all my friends who have made high school, well, still high school, but at least we've had some really unforgettable times and I love you all. :)
