Grad Party//Graduation//Prom


I'm constantly reminded by my mother that my grad party is coming up. Paper or plastic? Pink or green? This fat baby picture or this other fat baby picture? Hmm...decisions decisions. It's so weird being a senior because time flies by so fast, it just sort of seems like everything will be later on, later on. It's already April, Prom is in less than a month, and we are graduating next month? WHAT? So being bombarded by all of this grad party business and invitations shouldn't be put off any longer I suppose.

There is so little time now! I think we have 20-something days left of school, but we have so much more planning to do. Prom is stressing me out like no other, my mother has torn up the house going through baby pictures, albums, and other sentimental items of my childhood, and I have to write a graduation speech to deliver to the entire U.S. Cellular Center. Oh my. This is when I realize that procrastination is truly a bad thing, and that people really aren't that ridiculous when they start planning months and months ahead of time.

Believe me, all of this trouble and stress is totally worth it in the end. I'm just kind of ready for everything to be done with, but in the same sense not really. It's a mixed feeling because I want graduation and all the stress to be gone, but it's these memories that I want to keep forever. Leaving high school, as much as everyone says they want to leave, get out, and never come back, is true in some ways but is really, really sad. Graduation will be tough because that will be the last time that we're truly all together. In summary, despite all of the craziness that will go on in the next month, I can't wait to see what happens.
