It comes so fast, the anxiety comes finally realizing that the place you've spent that last 12 to 14 years. Being comfortable with everyone in your class, you've grown to know as your second family. Yet, afraid to of the unknown part of the world. not ready but ready enough for it to just finally be over. no more sleepless night due to homework, or studying for a tests. Trying to memorize the information just to take the test. Why? All so you can forget about it as soon as you take the test. Receiving the cap and gown form then returning it and getting your tassel. It finally sinks in that you are yet another step closer. Closer to not just graduating but just being set free. Finally getting to the point that in a few short months you will be leaving the place you have called home for so long. Being comfortable is no longer an option. The opinion from others on being accepted is no longer a worry. Finally able to find your self identity Time fly's by so don't wish it away because it's gone so fast. You'll look back wishing and hoping to just go back and relive it all. It only lasts so long... Senior year is the best of them all or so they say but in reality you're saying goodbye to your safe place.
