so, high school is over. i mean yeah...we have tomorrow. but what will we do? nothing. and then wednesday is moving up and honors and stuff. so tomorrow is our last day. meaning, high school is over.
this may sound cliche but..i can't believe it's been four years. this went by ridiculously fast and i am honestly not ready to handle this. as great as next year will be, i have a hard time believing that anything will be better than what i experienced in high school. everyone says college is the best time of your life, and maybe it will be, but right now i firmly believe i will never be this happy ever again. mercy....is the most indescribable place. when i walk in those lobby doors every morning, somehow i just know that everything will be okay. i know that i'll walk in the cafeteria and see megan and christine. i know that i can go sign in and have TWO cheery advisors telling me to have a great day. next year, i wont have the lobby..or megan..or christine...or my advisors. think about it. those are things i look forward to every day, and now they'll be gone. mercy is truly amazing. the teachers...the good ones...have influenced me and made me a better person. it is only at mercy that we can have a principal willingly be duct-taped to the wall. only at mercy can we get locked in the cafeteria when unexpected boys come. only at mercy are there such incredible friends. when i was a freshman, i had a few friends, a few GREAT friends. some of stuck with me all four years, some have drifted. my friends are also indescribable. only us can play hide and go seek in the dark as 17 and 18 year olds and not think anything of it. i know that any of my friends are here for me 24/7 and that means so incredibly much to me. i love you guys and i will never ever forget you.
it's safe to say that i have changed a lot at mercy. freshmen year...i wanted to be super athletic. i played field hockey and volleyball. i tried out for softball. i was pretty obnoxious, and didn't think that anyone liked me. shannon, megan, reena, heather were pretty much my best friends. sophomore year was pretty bad. first of all my schedule was...1st hour mr wright 2nd hour ms mika 3rd hour mrs howard 4th hour mrs pauley 5th hour campbell 6th hour mcgrane 7th hour robinet. you would want to kill yourself to. i was sophomore class secretary, played field hockey, and started hanging out with a set "group of friends". junior year is the year i like to call my roller coaster year. in the beginning it was great....in the middle my mom got sick. the end was kairos. but junior year i changed SO much. no more sports. faith became a big part of my life. pastoral team and stage crew saved me. it was also this year that i met my guardian angel, alicia. as corny as that sounds...its true. i had no reason to join stage crew, i just did. but now i know that reason. it was to meet her. without alicia i'd be a mess. she was my hope when my mom was sick. she's the one who always always always knows when something is wrong. she is my best friend. i love you leash. senior year. holy shit. i cant describe...student council vp. knowing so many knew people. leading kairos. bieng myself. stage crew. i loved this year. it brought out so many different sides of me.
so, goodbye. goodbye lobby, where i used to sit for my mom to pick me up. goodbye cafeteria, especially goodbye first table. goodbye library, even tho the only times i go in there is to look for people. goodbye pastoral team room, my second home. goodbye ms linskey's office, where i have spent many a morning. goodbye snackbar...ill miss announcments. goodbye auditorim...stage crew brought me so much joy. goodbye gym, full of memories of field day, assemblies, and volleyball..and where shannon and i met. goodbye mrs kowalski, mdme campbell, mr schultz, and ms schrimscher, who have all inspired me the most. goodbye off hours, mercyaires, the five, salads, announcements, mercy wide goal, french class, reception area, chapel.
