Wow. 2nd Trimester is finally coming to a close. Do you know what that means? That was officially my last full high school trimester since us Seniors leave a little bit earlier than everybody else. I officially, as of today, have 90 days until I graduate. This school year has actually been kind of difficult emotionally, but I swear I wouldn't have been able to get through it if it wasn't for my true friends who stuck it through with me and let me help them out when they needed support. There were several times that I felt that I couldn't come to anybody for the help I needed, but a hand full of my friends were there for when I just needed to talk to somebody about something.
I know that on this blog I talk about friendships a lot, but it's one of those things that everybody can relate to unless they've been stabbed in the back multiple times by their "best friend." Well, I have news for you all. It gets better from where you are. Even though me and the rest of Class of 2016 are graduating and leaving each other, we're about to find new people, strengthen the friendships we already have, and figure out what life is really about. We think we have a general idea of what it might be like, but I guess you never really know until you jump in and do it.
Life is about to get super difficult. A lot of my friends will leave on their missions and I'll be attending BYU-Idaho with a couple of my friends that I have now. I'll be writing my missionaries, fulfilling whatever callings I end up with, and trying to get along with my roommates up on BYU-Idaho's campus. Everything's going to change, and that's inevitable. The best thing to do in this situation is look forward to it rather than try to push it away like I've been doing. While I've been pushing my future away in my mind, I've been making it so hard to adjust and become comfortable with the very idea of leaving home... or even getting my driver's license. (Yeah... I've had my permit for 3 years.)
As I transition from high school to college I need to strengthen the bonds that are most important. Namely, I need to strengthen my bonds with my Heavenly Father, my family, my missionaries, those that I consider my best friends, and my supporters. As I transition, this blog will too. I've grown up so much since I first started this blog back when I was a Freshman. Now, I'm a lot older and I know a lot more about life and what's important. As I go through that transition, I'll definitely have to look back and consider all of the lessons I've learned throughout high school about what's really important. I'll be relearning a lot of lessons, I'm sure. However, this blog will turn from a dinky little high school blog to a coping college student's blog.
Thank you all for reading and sticking with me throughout this blog's lifespan. I know that it may be in a lot of your interests to stop reading, but I urge you to continue learning with me and my mistakes that I've made in the past. If you haven't gotten anything out of reading my blog over the years, I'm sorry for wasting your time. If you have gotten something, then I've achieved my goal. I hope that you've felt inspired to read on.
