Taking A Step Back

It certainly has been a long time. I'm not sure how many of you read this, but I'm a Senior now. Crazy right? Is started this blog my freshman year. Four glorious years talking about absolutely nothing. I am going to continue using this. I mean, why not? Some people read it, I might as well keep them entertained. I'll admit, being a senior has me scared. No doubt about that. But what happens after I cross that stage and move my little tassel o the other side, I'm even more afraid of that. When people say  high school goes by fast, they aren't lying. It was possibly the fastest four years of my life. But every moment and memory was worth it. From being a fumbling freshman to becoming a starry-eyed senior, I really have changed. I'm still not prepared for the real world yet. But who really is? It's different for everyone. Some go straight to college or to work. Others do both. And from there it only gets harder and the journey becomes more unique to its individual. Who knows where I'll end up. USC, writing for the school news paper, maybe even doing the school news program. Or maybe I'll get some little job, work my way up from there until I'm running the place. It's all a blank slate. There are parts of high school that will follow you into the real world, hopefully they are good. The scary part is just not knowing what will and could happen. It's like choosing the treasure behind closed doors. You know it's there, but where? Life doesn't come with an instruction manual or map. There is no set of rules that everyone must play by. It's not a game, and it's not about believing in yourself. Life is about choosing the best bad idea you have and saying "What the hell?" . . .
