The Days Keep Flying By

Graduation. When I first walked through the doors in grade nine, I thought that day would never come. It is so strange to think that in June I will be done with high school. We will all be going on our separate ways and opening a new chapter in our lives. It is sad to think about leaving this place; all the friends and memories that were made here, but it is also so exciting to think about what is coming next. It will feel so nice just to be done with high school and be ready to move on to new and exciting things. There is no harm in looking forward to the future, as long as we keep up with the responsibilities of the present.
I find it odd how the day I thought would never come, now seems to be coming so quickly. The days, weeks, and months are flying by so fast; almost too fast. It is really starting to feel like there is so much to do and so little time. I think that part of the reason why this year is seeming to go by so quickly is because I already have to start planning for next year and decide what I want to do and where I want to go. It’s what is on my mind right now; along with keeping up everything that is presently going on in life.

Now that I’m nearing the end, it would be so much easier just to slack off and take some time to relax while things just fall into place. But I can’t. I have to continuously find ways to stay motivated and keep on track with everything that is going on and that needs to get done. It’s ok to prepare for the future, as long as you are already prepared for the present.

They say that life starts after high school; and I guess I will be figuring that out for myself soon enough. The future can sometimes be scary to think about; not knowing where it will take me. Although, it can also be so thrilling to think about all of the new and exciting opportunities that await. I am looking forward to meeting the new challenges and experiences, but first I just want to enjoy all of the current ones. The future will come soon enough and there is no point sitting around and waiting for it to come. This is such an exhilarating stage of life; we have our whole lives ahead of us. Life may start after high school; but that doesn’t mean that you have to wait until after high school to start living. Enjoy where your life is at and be excited for where it is going to take you.
