The End

It's that time of year again.  There's just the right amount of days until school starts to make you realize that what seemed like an eternity of freedom is finally coming to an end.  Remember how, in the middle of July, we were all sick of sitting around in the heat all day with nothing to do?  Now all of a sudden everyone's running around and trying to cram as much fun as they can into what's left of summer.  No one can explain why that is, but we all know it happens every year.  It feels as if someone took a giant remote and pressed 'fast forward' on our lives and the past few weeks have just flown by.  Like that movie they sell in the check out line at giant about the guy who can put his wife on mute with that funny looking blue remote (Click)  -_- You know what?  I bet Mike Myers is in that, I have a gut feeling... (googles) Dang!  It was Adam Sandler.  Oh well, same thing right?

I don't know about you, but I'm having mixed feelings about it.  No, no, not the creepy Adam Sandler movie, we're past that now! I mean about starting school and everything.  On one hand, it's really nice not to have to worry about tests, homework and school related stuff.  On the other hand, it's really nice to see all my friends every day at school.  Plus it'll get me out of the house and I know my parents are secretly looking forward to that.  On another hand (octopus!!) with school comes all the school related social drama such as dating, cliques, gossip, guys who ask you to a dance and then refuse to talk to you but the next day in school have the nerve to chat you up in math class like nothing ever happened... I could go on.

It's not like I've had a particularly terrible summer or anything, but it wasn't all that great either.  I have my reasons.  There have been days where I wish with all my heart that I could just get up the next morning and go to school.  But there have also been days where I just think to myself at night lying in bed, "I wish every day could be as perfect as this one was."  I guess thats all part of growing up, or something. :P

I'm going to be starting high school next year, and that makes starting school all the more intimidating.  I'm really excited about it actually.  It's just that I'm not sure if I'll like it.  I'm going into it with a positive outlook, but if one person tries to stuff me in a locker I think I'll have an emotional breakdown.  You hear this all the time, but people say that high school will either be the best or worst 4 years of your life.  You hear people reminiscing about how they wish they could be young again and back in high school, but  you also hear horror stories of kids getting bullied and having no friends and lots of terrible things.  I'm not saying I'm afraid I'll get beat up every day, but I just hope I'll have a good group of friends and no one that particularly bothers me.

Just one more thing- don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened :) (unless it's an Adam Sandler movie, then you do the opposite)
