Graduation

Graduation is getting closer and closer. As each day passes by, i get more nervous about graduating. My senior year has been a hectic one. It's weird. i keep remembering things that my friends and i used to do when we were in elementary school. we used to have sleepovers. We were huge fans of the spice girls. we used to pretend like we were them all the time. we even performed a spice girls concert! (it's hilarious to watch, but there's not any real raw talent there) During the summer when school was out, becky and i would go outside and have music countdowns. we were obssessed with the backstreet boys, and we used to pretend that we were their girlfriends. we watched the kid's choice awards and the teen's choice awards. i remember watching the amanda show, ahhh! real monsters!, hey arnold, and Rugrats. they don't show those shows anymore. we've all grown up and our tastes have grown up. becky and i still have similar tastes in music still, but there are bands that i listen to that she doesn't. she listens to linkin park and i listen to the cryptkeeper five. we don't have sleepovers that often anymore. we used to have a little tradition where i would stay over at her house on new year's eve, but we broke that this year. Becky and I are two totally different people. She's the party girl; she always wants to party, and she always goes to parties that i don't approve of a teenager going to (even though i am a teenager). i wouldn't go to them. i'm the conservative one. i don't like to speak my mind, i always have to be talked into doing risky things (that's a pretty hard task to tackle), i don't dance or sing in front of people because i know that i can't sing.

i look back on all of those memories, and i can't believe how fast the time has gone by. soon i'll be leaving chilhowie and going to college. as a matter of fact, i haven't even started college, and i'm already homesick. Even though it scares me to go off to some big, scary place all by myself that i know i'm not just staying a week and then going home. I'm staying semi-permanently-i'm not staying forever, but i'm not leaving anytime soon.
