What the heck? I'm not five anymore? Not even 12? I'm an adult????
When did this happen????????
It's been eighteen years in the making, and now here I am, presented before you as a high school graduate. Totally insane. But fantastic. Because I never have to set foot in the high school again. And I don't have to get emails and calls reminding me to turn in stuff for Chief Time. And because I can look back now and say that I successfully made it through four years of craziness that flew by faster than I ever thought they would or could.
My life starts now. The real world is waiting to take me by the hand...and then swing me over a cliff. Oh. Right. I forget that I sometimes hate reality. But hey, it happens to everyone, right? Even Justin Bieber will lose his boyish charm one day. Yes, 12 year old girls, it's true. Your idol is going to grow up and get gray hair and wrinkles. But he'll have to grow some facial hair first. Eh...he definitely should never grow a mustache. Or stop wearing purple. Or stop serenading random girls at his concerts and leaving others broken hearted.
Seriously. Is that not like the cutest thing ever? I'm not a huge Bieber fan, but watching that made me want to be one of those girls that cries when he breathes within a 5 mile radius of them. Except not really. Because girls like that will get slapped the hardest by reality, and I'll be the one laughing on the sidelines.
Well, if that didn't get you excited, nothing else I say will. So just remember that people all over the world are entering the real world every day, and in 12 days I will officially join them. Because I graduated. And I'm going to college. And it's going to rock.
The end?
Your going to do great
