It's kind of scary

[Damhsa04]

I'm graduating high school this year.
I've applied to college.
I just got my own checking account.
I'm going to Disney without parents.


Everything's changing so fast.
How do I make it slow down?

 

[GoofysOnlyGirl]

I know what you mean.
My parents have slowly been getting me ready to leave for the past couple of years. Like I got my first job a year and half ago, and began making payments on my car then. I also opened my first checking account when I was 16, and just recieved my first credit card this year to start building my credit.

I am currently planning a vacation with my friends for next summer, no parents. Its weird, but I am excited and scared at the same time you know. I am officially in college, and am looking into dorms/appartments this christmas break.

 

[Pearls]

I'm graduating this year, too.
I don't want it to slow down. I'm so ready to move out.

 

[Damhsa04]

I want parts of it to slow down. Not all of it.
I'm ready to get out of my school. But.. I want to stay at the same time.
I just don't want to deal with all the crap that goes on there..
Know what I mean?

 

[imabrat]

I don't know, but when you find out make sure you tell me.
It feels like just yesterday I was starting 7th grade, and today I'm halfway through Sophomore year.

 

[Sparx]

i'm going through the same thing...

I know exactly what you mean.
Strangly. haha.

Same. Except my parents never encouraged me to go out on my own before now.

Now it's "get a job", "get your license" (which I, too, wanted), "do your own laundry" (which I would do, if my dad didn't compulsively do it all the time while I'm at school. My mom tells me I should and I tell her I would if dad would leave it 'till I got home. The same with feeding my cat. She says it's my job, but dad does it while I'm not there. I've told him not to do either, but he keeps doing them!).

I feel like they're just now realizing they have to let me out on my own and that they're the ones who can't deal with that.

 

[princesskelz]

i know what that feels like
i was in the MVA getting my Permit a few days ago and got this feeling! its crazy i remember starting KINDERGARDN!!

 

[Damhsa04]

Oh yeah I forgot about the whole driving thing.
I got my license back in April.
My mom doesn't have to drive me to dance class 3 times a week anymore.
I can drive to school.
I can go anywhere.
I love driving.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I'm not quite in that situation, but things are getting strange.
Days have been passing by so fast. Last year this time, I was like 'oh my god this has been the longest first half of the year ever'
Now, I can't believe we're almost at Christmas. I want it to slow down, this year is amazing.

But I'm also kind of getting to feel like an only child. It's like my brother now is extended family that we see from time to time, not like the kid who I spent the first 14 years of life in the same house as. I don't like that, because it reminds me taht in a few years that'll be me, and it'll be as if no kids existed in this house.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Even though I'm only a sophomore. I have two and a half years left until I'm out. That's not a long time. I always think about college and where I'll live and my job. I'm excited but a little leary. I'm ready to get out where I can make the day what I want, and all I'll be responsible for is myself. But then there is the fact of just being a responsible adult and having to make it on my own.

I've been through 10 years of school. TEN!
Luckily I still have some years to get ready.

 

[KitKat_Tink]

I'm only a junior but i get it. Its scary. I just got my first job about 2 months ago (whatever day HSM3 came out) Now i'm getting my drivers permit, I'm saving up for my car and looking for colleges. Its nerve wrecking actual relizing that i'm not going to have my parents to lean on in 2 years.

=nod=

I'm only 15, I've had my permit since July, 3 months before my birthday. I just took my PSATs, I'm terrified for my GPA now...

 

[Captain Brain]

Oh gosh. I feel as though my life is passing me by and all I can do is watch. I'm almost halfway through my sophomore year, I've never had a real girlfriend, I'm no closer to finding out what I want to do. I'm getting college offers every other day, I'm checking out some of them. I just feel as though my high school career is already ending.

 

[Loves Disney]

Oh how I can relate to this thread.

My relationship with time is a love/hate sort of thing. I'm already a sophomore in college and after Wednesday, the last day of finals, I will no longer be a sophomore here as I am heading to Florida next spring for an internship at Disney...so I will be returning as a junior. ALREADY! I thought I had all the time in the world to gather ideas of what I wanted to do and how I wanted my life to turn out...but time isn't allowing me the amount I need. In two years I'm going to grad school, finding a place to live, and getting myself a career. I'm not ready to enter that point in my life. I just want to yank on the reins of time and put it on pause...if even for only a moment.

I can remember entering high school as if it were yesterday and how fast graduation came...it's insane how the farther along in life you get, the faster it seems to move.

The most important thing I have learned is to take opportunities as they come and never ever just sit and watch life pass by. Take control of your life, find your voice, and write your story as you want it to be told. We don't have take-backs or an eraser...just gotta move forward, accept time, and make the best that we can of it. Every moment not lived is a moment wasted.

 

[I'm a Divaaaaa]

Yeah, I feel you. Things are going way fast. I'm going to move out of the country alone soon. I don't know where my life went hahaha.

 

[pigletgirl]

I'm almost halfway thru my college years!! Holy guacamole! It is so bizarre. It is also weird to tell people that I'm now 20. A new decade. Although I'm stoked to see what the future brings me! Lots of good things!

 

[Damhsa04]

I got lost today while driving home from the mall.
I parked where I don't normally park and so where I exited wasn't normal. So I drive around Providence like a maniac trying to find a highway entrance. Half an hour later and probably not in Providence anymore I find it.

Oh and my GPS died on me too. It kept shutting off on me so I used it as little as possible.
Now I'm charging it so it won't happen again.

That it exactly like me last year. I graduated high school, had a job, had my own bank account, got accepted into colleges, and went on a road trip to Florida with my friends. everything is still going fast for me, I'm already done with my first semester of college.
