When I think back to my high school years, I don't cringe, or feel so glad that I'm past that stage in my life. In fact, I often wish I could go back. Sure, there were times when I thought my world was ending (it was usually because the boy I had a crush on liked my best friend instead of me), but for the most part I loved my high school experience. I went to a tiny high school (seriously, there were only 23 people in my graduating class), I had great friends, and was involved in many different things. Sports were a big part of my life, and it's definitely one of the things I miss most about being in high school. I still have dreams that I'm in high school, at a softball or basketball game, but there's usually something wrong, like I forget part of my uniform and then am late for the game so I have to sit out. What do you think that means? I also miss having a core group of friends, that were always around. Most of us have drifted apart in the 8 years since I graduated high school, Yep, I just aged myself there. Yikes. but there are a few people that I still consider my best friends. The only thing now is that we all live in different places, and lead very different lives. It's not as easy to keep in touch, and for the most part I only get to see them during holidays or occasions that bring us all back to our hometown. It makes me sad, but I guess that's the reality of growing up.
Anyways, the end of that episode always brings back all those memories and makes me feel nostalgic/a little sad that things will never be like they were when I was 17 ever again. Why was I always so excited to get older? It baffles me, now.
