Done


4 Years of high school. It's all over.
What can I say? I've had so many good times and bad times, but I've lived through it all.
Next Sunday is GAmy's 4 year anniversary. I love you babe always and forever. <3

Man, it's really hitting me now. I feel so happy and so sad at the same time. I want to cry, but I also want to just sit back, smile, and let out a big sigh of relief. Just going through old pictures makes me want to tear up. Life passes by so fast. 4 Years, gone in a flash. When I sit here typing this, I can't help but wonder, how I got through those seemingly never-ending days in class. Whether it be Papas' class or AP Stat with Baumback. All those days that I fell asleep in class. Man it was so worth it haha

I came into high school a young, naive child and I believe I came out a man. So many life lessons learned through my experience these last years. I'm surprised how much 1 person could teach me. You know who you are <3. But not even that, I've taken lessons from places where i least expected it - old friends, people whom I never thought I would get to know, and lots more. I have met many and gotten close to many. But at the same time, I drifted from those I thought was close to me. I've come to realize, it's pretty much inevitable unless both persons are willing to keep that connection, and I will make it my goal to keep a connection with my close ones in the future. Our lives take us on different paths, but all our paths are connected so let us cross paths yet again. Wow that was hella deep haha.

Taking Tripping this year has definitely been one of the most amazing experience in my life. I've learned lessons that I hope will last my lifetime. If you are an underclassman reading this, I highly, highly recommend this class. I will remember and miss everyone in that class. How 40 completely different people came together and bonded so closely never ceases to amaze me. Outside of that class, we come from all different "cliques" from all around the school. From nerd to jock to average joe. All those labels that we put on ourselves and others, gone. From learning to notice and letting go of upsets to communication skills, everything in that class, I hope to remember and use them in the future. They have helped me so much this year, but I know it's not just the tripping things that has helped me this year. Just becoming the bigger person that I am now has indeed helped also.

Times like these.

Moments like these are those worth remembering.
Just staring into the sky, thinking of all that was, is, and will be.
