Today I graduated from high school with honors. I got my diploma, said goodbye to all my friends, we all hugged eachother, I said goodbye to my teachers and hugged them as well, my family got together and had dinner at Golden Corral, and now I'm at home. I'm finally done with high school and I'm semi-ready to move on and go to college and start becoming independent.

And yet I can't stop crying.

I was really excited and in disbelief before, but now it has finally sunken in that I'm never going back to that school, I'm not going to see my friends anymore, I'll never see my teachers again, and I'm going to have to learn to be an adult and grow up. To tell you the truth, I'm not ready to move on yet. I still want to be a teenager without a care in the world for just a little bit longer. I wish high school was five years, just so I could hang around all my friends and favorite teachers, and make new friends and join the smae clubs and even a few different ones; just so I can enjoy being a kid a little bit longer.

The fact that I can't and no matter how much I want to, I'll never be able to turn back has caused me to slump into depression. I just... I wish I never had to leave high school; that senior year would just restart over and over so I could stay with the people I love forever.
