Slow Down

I see way too many of my peers that want to run off to college already. I'm saying slow down.

College is going to be great, I know that much, but I know that high school has been some of the best years of my life. I love my time spent at school and I love the friends I have here. Rushing off to college is the last thing I want to do when high school still has so much life left. I'm living and dying by the little things school offers, like the times I can walk into any class late and not need an excuse, or times spent in class bull crapping with my best friends.

I have so much I still want to do in my high school career. I want to do something spontaneous, something that might not turn into anything but something worth trying anyway. I want to live what little life I have left at West Allegheny. And if you want to get out of here so badly, then shame on you. You haven't paid attention to the little things going on all around you. This place we call home is a great place, and as excited as you may be for "new" people at college, soon enough you'll be missing your pals back home.

The real world is a hell of a lot different than life here...enjoy your time here.
