It's almost May; most of us have our college decisions, and are deciding which school is right of us. It's a weird phase we're in; not really highschoolers anymore, but also not really in college yet either. This can be frustrating; we tend to feel stuck in the middle, just waiting for time to pass by before we can leave our hometowns and head to a new city with new friends and new challenges.

It's hard to hold on to the past and our lives that we once lived, and it feels like the time to finally start letting go some of the places and people that we've been holding on to. Maybe this is the final hurrah; a time for us to take in these last few moments we have of childhood.

So, before we head off for college and leave a piece of our lives behind, we must take in the good times and remember all of the opportunities that we have been given. We have made new friends and lived through experiences that have changed our lives and shaped us into the people we are to this very day.

A year from now, we will look back and wish that we could somehow slow down time, to spend one more day in highschool with your best friends and have one more school night family dinner. So, although we are all in a rush to go out there and live our lives, maybe we should take a minute to stop and appreciate all of the people and things that made this all possible. We are stuck in between these two stages of our lives.

Don't wish away your last few months of highschool, where you can spend off periods with your best friends from kindergarten or have your first boyfriend only a mile down the road.
