Life in a Shell (Not in a Nut-Shell)
April 7, 2007
The closer my graduation gets the more i realise that my life has not yet become anything that i can fathom. Throughout highschool people are very much concerned with their friends and social statuses, they are also ignorant of the fact that these friends and rankings in school will not matter or play any significant role in the life after highschool.
The end marks the beginning… a tad cliche but nonetheless it is true in this case. After highschool one meets new people, goes new places and learns new things; the highschool life is inadequate to these new experiences. What I’m saying here is that people sweat the small stuff, worrying about friends and the opposite sex, shoes, and the latest and greatest in reality t.v., which for a teen is not bad but these things should not be taken to heart for the world is much bigger than one’s highschool and social circle ( I know hard to believe but in reality think about how often a person gets caught up in their social life retaining to highschool)
people changes, plans change and we all know that the world changes. I think that a life life for today best suits the highschool life, why should one worry about friends as much as we do? we will make friends and loose friends just as we will find love ans just as quickly loose it or never even know that it was there. The memories are what count, enjoy it while its there because before you realise it will be gone.
Just wanted you to know that graduation at any level is a confusing, and I find scary time. Not to worry, high school gets better and seems even more relevant the further you are from the experience
The best part about graduation is that all the popular kids instantly realize they just wasted valuable time, and all the nerds have a 5 year head-start on life.
After high-school we get a pat on the back saying good job. Now get started. lol
Hmm. I don’t think all high school kids are ignorant to the fact that “these friends and rankings in school will not matter or play any significant role in the life after highschool.”
You weren’t. I know I wasn’t. But yeah, the majority for sure are.
