With everyone’s high school graduations being within these next two weeks, I find it hard to believe that practically last year I was still a senior in high school. I remember bs-ing my way through AP Literature and Composition while at the same time finding a love for photography and photoshop in my Visual Art and Technology class. The last few days of my senior year, I realized how perfect my last semester in high school was. I reconnected with an old childhood friend, earned a 4.2 gpa, was accepted into all three colleges I applied to, and had a blast at prom! What more could a teenager ask for? Yet I still couldn’t wait for the day of graduation. And eventually that hot, humid day came rolling around the corner. That day I decided to experiment with a whole new look; red lipstick and a center part...that was a big mistake! On top of that, my dumb cap wouldn’t stay on, While receiving my diploma, I had to hold onto my cap with one hand just to keep it from falling...you better believe that was a picture perfect moment.
Throughout the whole ceremony I couldn’t wait for it to be over; it was unbearably hot in a cramped, air condition-less gym. The whole time I thought I would throw up or pass out. I could feel myself sweating through my gown and my makeup just melting off my face. And then it was over… that happy day I was waiting and anticipating for four years, was done. It’s sad to think back and realize I never got those Kodak moments of me and all my friends on the football field throwing our caps in the air….all because I was too cranky and dehydrated to bother to stay after the ceremony. That definitely was my biggest regret of high school.
And after my graduation day was over I was anxious to fast forward to my freshman year of college. I was excited to see what this new chapter was all about. And a year later, I stand in the same position : anxious to fast forward to my sophomore year of college.
