Time for spring break. What does that mean? It means... this year of school is over. It means... senior year is over. It means... no more high school? It's hard to believe.
I have finally heard from the last of my schools, and the end result is better than I could have ever imagined. But as I take a step back, nostalgia gets the best of me. We're actually going to college! And while I'm quite excited about that, I am also quite sad about that. Lexington has been my home for 17 years, where my closest friends, family, and memories reside. I am anxiously awaiting the exciting, fascinating, enriching experiences ahead of bigger cities, new people, and an amazing education. Yet... I am leaving behind just as much as I am gaining.
We're finally here. This moment we have looked forward to from the very beginning, and it's actually here. Do we feel as excited as we thought we would? Is it as awesome as we thought it would be?
Relief. That's what I feel. But it's bittersweet-- theme of the year. Saying goodbye isn't always easy, but it's something I'll have to do in a few short months. Time is flying away from us, but maybe we should feel as good about that. High school will not last forever!
