Last Day

I'm sitting here in one of my High Schools study rooms. Today I feel more focused on emotion than actually graduating. Because I know I'm graduating and today is my last day. I have a weird feeling of emptiness, like a feeling as if I'll never see this place again or the people in it. I know that's not true though. I can't let it be true.
One day earlier this week and girl who is also graduating early said to me, 'Isn't it wierd that we are ending high school? Isn't it wierd that we are basically ending our life?" I was shocked by this because I have never thought of it as ending my life. I've always thought of it as just beginning my life. Or my adult life I should say. It's been replaying in my head and I'm not sure why.
I hope I don't cry. I dont want my mascara to run.

finishing school is a big life change. there will be mixed emotions. it is an ending and a new beginning. the sad feelings will end quite quickly after you begin doing something new. it is all normal. hang in there. grammie

Ending your life? lol, that's silly, you haven't even begun.

i don't mean that in a condescending way, either, if that's what it sounded like. <3

I know! That exactly what I was thinking when the girl said it.
