In 2015, I graduated from high school. Now in my second year of college thinking back to high school is laughable and graduation for was freedom from a corrupt and manipulative place with a facade based around learning and education. To say the least I didn't enjoy high school.

The night after graduation my friends and I formed a plan to sit on the laugh guard tower at a local beach and watch the sun go down. We were armed with blankets, a single bar of fancy chocolate, a camera, a bottle of sparkling apple juice, and a balloon that appropriately had "High school sucks" written on it with black sharpie (that we appropriately let loose into the wind, which it then rolled down the beach and into the lake, a seemingly fitting metaphor for our high school careers). In my desire to commemorate the night I pulled out my camera and tried to take some videos of the sunset and the beach and my friends. Naturally, my camera proceeded to die after about an hour, but the footage I managed to get was enough to make a nostalgic artsy video about the night.

I recently found this video and thought I should try to re-edit it just for the fun of it.
