Bitter Sweet

I think bittersweet is the only way to describe graduation day...bittersweet and pure joy.

I mean, you did it...your done, all your hard work finally paid off and all the people that care about you are there to witness this huge milestone in your life. This moment is truly sweet.

Graduation is such an emotional roller coaster, I can't speak from experience..seeing as how I haven't exactly graduated yet, but I did just witness one.

I got to graduation early, and I was sitting there thinking, I was thinking about how short highschool actually is, it never really hit me till then. I mean, I was at the graduation of my friends that I met..when they were where I am now. It feels like just yesterday I was worrying about the big scary highschool and now I'm a Junior, and highschool is currently the best time of my life. This thought led me to think about how much can change in a years time. A year ago, I didn't even know half the people that have impacted my life. I think this is truly amazing. This thought led me to think about how much I love my town. We really come together, and yeah...we do things that we don't always agree with, but in the end, we're there for each other. I think that is what matters most.

When I was sitting there at graduation I realized what is worth worrying about, and what isn't. For example, drama, stupid people that don't care about you...are not even worth a second of your time, because you should really spend that second with someone who does care about you...'cause one day you'll turn around and it'll be there turn to go into the world. I guess that's what's kind of bitter about graduation, the fact that people you care about so much, are leaving and they get to go out into the world and you're left behind to live your life without them. I mean, sure they're still in your life, but you don't get to see them all the time anymore. And that small change can make a big difference in a friendship.

I realized today that I need to only spend my time with people that I care about, and I need to forget about the ones that don't.

I'm so proud of all my friends that graduated today..and everyone else who I'm not friends with, I'm proud of them too. Congrats class of 2010, you guys did good, and I hope you guys realize how much your going to be missed, T-Burg is truly not going to be the same without you guys.
