The Start Of A New Beginning?

I haven't really posted in a while, but that's senior year for you! Yes, I am graduating this year. Scary thought... In 5 months, I may or may not be a high school graduate. Somebody asked me how that makes me feel and I said "Terrified."

I have been hanging around the same group of friends for 5 years now. We have been through everything together, thick and thin, tough times and easy times. We've all been there for each other. And now? In a mere 5 months that'll all be gone. And why? Because we are all going to different cegeps. One of us is smart enough to make it into a fancy cegep just on scholarship, a couple of us are going into sciences at different cegeps, I'm going into a cinematography/photography/journalism program and another one of us is going to the same cegep as me but going into a completely different program.

So...where does that leave us? Scrounging for our last 5 months together, making them the best we possibly can.  Because you know what? We SAY we're going to keep in touch, heck everybody ALWAYS says that. But life catches up and eventually, you just don't have time for the people from your old life and the people in your new life. It's a scary thought though. What am I going to do without them? Sure, I'll meet new people, make new friends. But right now? It's scary. Real scary. Of course, everytime I share this thought with them, they either give me that Look, the one that says "Oh dear, poor girl is losing her mind." or I just get brushed off. Maybe they haven't realized it yet, but I have, and damn is that thought scary.

Peace&Love
