Goodbye High School, Hellooo World!

I’m officially a high school graduate, as of Thursday, June 24, 2010. Graduated with four honors, ooh, yeah. I’m quite the nerd, and proud.

I’m also one of the few that didn’t cry; perhaps the finality of leaving this place of familiarity hasn’t yet hit me.  It’s not that I’m coldhearted and incapable of feeling—it’s that I don’t see any rationale in crying over the have-beens. I recognize, appreciate, and cherish the past for what it’s worth. Most of my greatest memories (and I say that as if I’ve been alive for a century) happened during my high school years. Will I miss the familiarity? Perhaps. Will I miss being able to see my closest girlfriends nearly every day? Of course. Tears shed would only be in vain; the past can’t be re-lived, and dwelling upon emotions of nostalgia prevents you from moving forward. Life’s about progression. One chapter has been written, and closed. The next is but a blank canvas waiting to be written.

I’m ready though, ready for the next step. The first big milestone of my life has been checked off, so it’s on to the next. I’m ready to take on the world (uni, a.k.a. the faux-real world), lipstick, heels, coffee, and all. I’ve always lived for the present and the future. High school’s done. I’m happy I had a fantastic four years and found my closest friends there. But more importantly, I’m excited for the will-be‘s and the future that awaits.

Class of 2010, thanks for the memories. (:

P.S. I’ve extended the deadline for my giveaway collaboration with Shopbop.com; you now have until June 30th to enter to win a $100 giftcard! Pourquoi? Because I’m quite the generous soul. Not really. But I’m quite busy since the next few days are booked with celebratory events (woohoo!). I’ve already been dancing for two consecutive nights, nonstop. This is the life.
