high school is ending
I'm a senior and even though we still have around one month of school left, summer is right around the corner. I didn't have the amazing and romanticized high school life that I expected or wanted to have, but it still feels like an era of my life is coming to a close. It's just kind of mind-blowing looking back on all of it. I had a lot of sleepless nights of studying and working my butt off, annoying and awkward moments with my friends and teachers, and angry yelling matches with my parents, but in the end I feel like it was worth it. I know I will never experience anything like this in my life again, and I am reminded to be appreciative of what I have for the remaining time I have it! The funny thing is that I started playing Maplestory when i was in 6th grade, and even though I stopped hardcore playing it around 2008/2009, but the fact that I am writing this message on Basil reminds me how much of a role, good or bad, that this game and the Basil community (be it all that it has changed over the years) has played in my childhood. From watching boring movies on Friday nights to taking small breaks during late night study sessions, Basil has always been there.
haha so that was my two cents. i know a lot of you guys don't care, but thanks for reading anyway.
k back to studying for ap tests! (for the last time yay!)
and for you guys who are going to college, where do you plan on attending next fall/spring?

Great speech! Pretty much applies to me except I just finished university not high school
When I was in my senior year, I didn't care that it was ending
Worse school I graduated from lol
Here's the TLDR:
I didn't have the amazing and romanticized high school life that I expected or wanted to have.
WHY:
- I started playing Maplestory when i was in 6th grade.,
- but the fact that I am writing this message on Basil reminds me how much of a role, good or bad, that this game and the Basil community has played in my childhood.
- Basil has always been there.
college goes by even faster....
I know that feel. I actually take my finals the week after this upcoming one and it feels weird to say that I'm graduating high school. I've done so much during my high school years (hell, I probably coulda done more, but I'm satisfied), that looking back, I actually feel nostalgic.
It's really weird.
I can distinctly remember my first day of high school thinking senior year will never come.
Now here I am. Only about 3 weeks left of school and a little over a month until graduation day.
I've done so many things I never thought I would ever do and I've gone a lot farther than I ever thought imaginable. I really look forward to what the future has in store.
High school is so boring now. I'm just going to miss being able to just laze around and still get good grades along with all the free time and friends.
Ohh this makes me feel so sad!
Unfortunately I actually stopped playing my Freshman year...
I made some pretty shady decisions in high school but... I'd never trade my experiences for anything on this Earth.
I'm grateful for my family and friends and I'm ready to take this next step into adulthood.
Where is the tl;dr?
