Now that I’m in college, I feel I get really nostalgic about everything. I looked through all my pictures that I have on facebook. Basically since freshman year in high school. I can’t even express how much has changed. A lot of the memories I wouldn’t be able to keep without those photos. I’ve almost already forgotten a ton of them…but then I see the photos and I’m filled with a sense of longing for that time. It was fun, easy, light-hearted…and even the drama that happened was there for a reason, marked the time and the personalities. Like it doesn’t matter now, it’s funny even.
The drama in college isn’t really between each other. It’s with yourself. Yeah sure, people bitch about each other, but there’s not as much “he said, she said” sort of stuff, at least in my general experience. It’s about life. What are you going to do? Are you good enough to succeed? Is this the person that you want to date/spend time with/remember years from now? It all gets more real. Nothing is about the now, but about the future.
Everyone always says that high school sucks. But it didn’t. Not for me. It was really and truly some of the best years of my life so far. A lot of things I won’t ever see again—friends and moments.
