Dear High School

You were wonderful and amazing but it's over.

Dear High School
Annette Blanchard

Dear High School,

I am not even going to lie, you were pretty great. I have never loved and hated a place as much as I loved and hated you. For four years you were my world, you were my entire graduate class' world. We showed up at your door five days a week and came back constantly for practices, meetings, and games.

I made friends that will last a lifetime during high school, I also lost a few I hoped would be there forever. That was the beauty of high school, we grew up. We walked through the doors freshman year with people and outfits that only lasted a couple of months. I had some of my best moments throughout my high school experience.

People keep saying that high school is the best four years of your life and in those years high school was. It was the place that I cried my eyes out one day and laughed so hard my stomach cramped up the next. They had fights and relationship break-ups that in the moment was the hottest topic of the day. Looking back now high school you were wonderful and amazing even though I complained every day about you.

I am the person I am today because of high school, I grew up throughout the four years. I figured out who some of my real friends were and that just because one guy doesn't like you doesn't mean no one ever will. I learned how truly cruel girls could be and I learned a lot about myself there.

So high school it was one hell of a ride. It was four years that were absolutely amazing. I am so blessed to have made the friends I made and experienced the things I experienced because high school is over. A lot of the time I don't even miss you and you are who I was and now I am becoming who I meant to be. So high school is over and honestly I am not sad because the best years of my life are only just beginning.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
