just graduated🤍

I still can't believe that 12 years of school are over already oml. In my whole life all I've known is my town and school. In 4 months from now I'll start uni, move to a different town and start a whole new life. I can't fathom the fact that it's over. Literally though because today we took our yearbook pictures and after that I immediatly run out of the school with my friend. It was a feeling of freedom but at the same time I wanted to go back. I've had so many bad moments in all my school years. I don't wanna go back for that. I want to go back for the good moments that made me fall in love with education, the moments that broadened my horizons, all the amazing new people I met (peers and teachers). I can't say I shed a tear because it still hasn't fully hit me that everything that I've known until now are over. Realization will hit me during my last moment with my friends before we all part to go to different towns for uni. That's when I'll be bawling my eyes out lol. Also, to be honest it's not fullyy over yet. I still have to go through uni entrance exams and then we will have a small goodbye party for all the seniors leaving school. It's so bittersweet omg I can't explain the feeling. Only when you graduate you'll feel it. I will miss sooo muchh all the times we would laugh during class and make jokes with our teachers who never once misunderstood us and were always there for us. Always standing right beside us during our highest and lowest moments. I'll miss my friend group when we would run in the hallways just to make it in class on time or when we would skip class and run out of school running so that no one would notice us (even though we were caught sometimes haha). I've had the opportunity to witness the beginning of the first ever club of our school and join it of course (reading and creative writing club) (also the first ever school in my town to have a club in school where students could attend it after school and engage in lots of activities). The next year a new club made it to school (also joined it hahah). The photography club. In both of these clubs I met such amazing and creative people. I never thought that I had things in common with so many people. With my reading and creative writing club I went on a few trips outside of town for the purpose of meeting more creative people who love writing and books. In my first year of high school I had the most unforgetable trip everrrr. 30+ students applied for an erasmus program and only 10 were selected (including me). I broadened my horizons so much because not only did I go to another country but also I met people from so many countries. Of course it would be wrong if I didn't mention all these amazing trips we went with our school. Students and teachers were all having fun together. The stress of school would disappear the moment we stepped on the bus heading to our destination. Our teachers weren't in "teacher" mode there and we would get to see the fun side of them. Before writing this, I visited my school's blog and found some pictures from my first day in high school. I remember being so scared going to a place where I didn't know anyone. This last year has been really stressful for me because of my uni entrance exams (for which I've been preparing since July) but I still had my good moments. My first ever good memory from there was when I entered school in the first day of high school and saw across the room an old friend of mine. Seeing a familiar face in a place full of strangers made me feel a bit safer. Today, the last day, we took our yearbook photos. As we were all ready to take the picture, our english teacher yelled to wait for her as she run towards us to get ready for the photo too and we all laughed. Afterwards I run out with my friend (same person I was with in my first day of high school) laughing sooo much that we are finally done with school. And of course the first thing we did after school was go to the park and go on the swings. As kids we would go to the swings often and now as adults (almost) we're still at the swings. So many things will change, especially in 4 months where everyone will leave, but we all return to the swings at the end of the day. A lot of memories are blurred from my mind I can't lie, but that doesn't change the fact that high school was an unforgetable experience. I will never forget my amazing teachers who always believed in me and my friends who stood by me at all times (even more my amazing friends from another school with whom I went to the same middle school with).

class of 2026 out🤍
