Your senior year has been a blast so far. It's crazy that you've made it all the way to your last year of high school. After this year, you are sent into the real adult world. You get to choose your path now. You've probably decided whether you're going to college or trade school or finding a job straight out of high school. From now on, it is all up to you.

From the day that the date is announced to the very last second leading up to it, your senior prom is always on your mind. You couldn't wait to dress up and have a good time with all of your friends. Prom was probably the most fun that you've ever had in a room with your classmates.

After prom, you find yourself anticipating graduation so much that you forget that you even went. Instead of waking up each day and thinking, "wow prom was great", you think about the number of days that you have until graduation. It seems like it's going to be the biggest day of your life, but really it is just a ceremony to celebrate the fact that you've been in school for 13 years.

Graduation comes and goes, and suddenly you seem to be socializing less than you have ever been. Before all of this, you couldn't seem to keep track of the amount of Snapchats or Text Messages that you would receive daily, but all of the sudden you don't have many anymore. Your schedule is looking more free each week because of the lack of people that you want to spend time with.

Once the fall comes, you realize that you only have a few friends left from back at home. You're all headed separate ways for college or trade school and you start getting scared about it. You should be. New environments are bound to make changes in your support system and friend group

This is all normal. You have to realize that not everyone in your life is permanent. You're only friends with some of these people because you see them everyday. It's not that I don't love my old friends, it's jut that I understand what happened. We were all going through changes in our personalities and our lives. I'm just so glad that the people who really mattered are still in my life.
