Graduation is upon us!

[JCBaggee]

[color=red][size=1][font=arial]It's that time of year ^_^

Graduation is coming up in 2 weeks for me, and I spent last night reminiscing with a friend of mine. It's really hard to look around and realize that pretty soon, this will all come to an end. I never really like this school, but I'm gonna miss a bunch of the kids.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to be done with school...but this does get kinda depressing.

So, anyhoo, I only know of Tori and I as OB's graduating High School members...anyone else taking the walk this year?

This year? No.

Two years in the future? Yes.

But unlike you, after highschool I can look forward to a good ten to fifteen more years of schooling.

[Epitome]

I have kinda already taking the walk but in a different way. I moved after 5th grade and went to a new shcool so I can see how you could get depressed over it. Its normal too, but if you plan on going to college, you'll meet new friends :). I am also taking the official walk in 4 years.

[Kwai]

Same with Darky, I will be taking the walk in 2 years... and we *cough* did I say we? I meant I, will take the walk with guns ablazing to wreak good enough havoc to the torturous school.... mwahahahahahha

[Corey]

Darky... Heh... I should mutilate you for that, but I just don't have the proper instruments with me. What a pity.

I will also be wreaking havoc by way of wearing a barrel when I walk across the stage, and nothing else.

[DeathBug]

People get so emotional over graduation; this puzzles me. I take the walk next year, and I ca'nt say that I feel aprehensive or remorseful. In fact, I'll be glad not to see most of these people ever again.

You just move on to college or the work force, where you have to interact with yet another group of random people. Some people's lives peak at high school, though, which is sad. (As Iv'e often said, "If this is as good as it's ever gonna' get, please kill me now.")

[size=1]I am graduating from high school in about four weeks. The thing that bothers me most about graduation is that I will never get to see certain people again. My better friends I wll stay in contact with (or at least try to) but the random people in my classes, who I have only gotten to know this year, will completely disappear.

But still, I can't wait to graduate. Class of '03, yea! ^_^"

I cant wait for my schools seniors to graduate. Theres so many of the I dislike and It will be great not to see them next year. When I graduate and think of all the people I will most likely not see again, It'll be bliss.

[Roxie Faye]

[color=#9933ff]I'm the class of 2003, too! Well, sort of, anyways. ^_^ I'm graduating, just not from high school. I'm graduating from middle school, and I just wish that I could leave half the stupid kids in my grade behind. -__-

My sister is graduating next weekend, as well. Only she's not graduating from high school either. College. So we're all graduating, just from different stages of the Education system.

Not sure if that's what you wanted to hear...[/color]

[Sara]

[size=1]I'm a junior, but the vast majority of my friends are graduating next month, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit miffed at them.[/size]

[Guest Hikaru Ichijyo]

For those of you worried about leaving your friends behind and moving on because of graduation don't worry too much about it. Throughout your life you are going to go through various different stages in life "middle school", "high school", and for most of you college or work.

My advice is to accept this change as the next step in your on going lives, look at this as a new learning experience and your first steps into that harsh reality we call adulthood. Anyway, congratulations to all the upcoming graduates of OB.

[Transtic Nerve]

Graduation was the last time I saw many of my friends from HS. Alot of them moved away, some stayed, but hey, oh well. graduation for my HS is next week, Tuesday I think... or Thursday, I don't remember. Anyway. I graduated C/O 2001 so I'm in College about to graduate with my AA from a community college going to a Uni next semester.

[Semjaza]

My first high school closed Junior year, so I lost touch with most of them. My second high school was more or less a blow off for me, and it was full of some really uptight white proper kids... never really went so well. I'm a lot more of a freak in real life than I'm able to convey on here thanks to my typing/writing style.

Anyway, I wound up graduating in 2000. There are friends you keep, friends you don't. I think for the most part, you'll start to realize that a good deal of high school friends weren't worth the time anyway. It seems to happen to a good deal of people I know somewhere along the line. Just keep the good ones and you'll be good I guess.

As for graduation, I was just glad to get it over with. I somehow managed to graduate with National Honors Society and some other awards... so it wasn't that bad I guess. It was in a massive church downtown too, which was nice. Beats the gym at my old school (both were Catholic).

So yeah, congratulations to those graduating this year. I should have had my Associates by now, but I'm a slacker heh. Soon enough :D

[Avalon]

I'm graduating this week on Friday so I'm pretty excited. Some of my family are flying in from New York tomorrow so I have to make room for them in my house.

[Blue Truth]

YAY! I just now got home from my graduation party at school, now, High school is over, and collage has beggan, I wish I could take a year or two break from school, but oh well. It feels great to be out of high school

[WW2]

Yeah I'll be graduating in 2 weeks, and to tell the truth I'm not that excited. It'll be the last time I see some of my best friends, even though I am going to community college with some of them.

But as the time comes I'll have to get over it and focus on planning out my future.

[EcCenTriC fairy]

[size=1]I'll be walking in two years and I'm going to bawl. My boyfriend's graduating this year and I'm going to bawl. Graduation is so emotional. :([/size]

[bra]

Well I graduated in 2001 and yeah it is hard to believe. I then went to college and, well, I still am in there however I CAN still work with the children at the hospital due to the training I had in my high school. I mainly missed my friends and all 'cause I didn't keep in touch with them... My advice is keep in touch with your friends, you don't know when you'll need them. :)

[LostProphet]

Oh My God, I cant wait...I've been waiting for 12 years for this day....pure, unadulterated freedom. Its going to be great, I've got about 30 people showing up. Ours is at Reunion Arena, since our class is so big (1147 Seniors), so we can invite bascially as many people as we want....unless everyone invites 100 or so people, then we're screwed

[Cora Jane 2]

[font=arial][size=1]Well I am so blessed with graduating Tomorrow, May 22nd!! w00t w00t!! Anywho. I am graduating from Mercy High School, of which is a Catholic school. I am then attending UNO in the fall. Yay, as a Music Education Major. *sigh* more school. Anywho. But yeah, my party is gonna be Friday, so I won't be on much then, nor will I be on much tomorrow, as it is the "big" day. Haha. So yeah, I will see you around.

[thewanderer]

this will just have to wait till next year when i graduate

[Charles]

I graduated years back. But, it didn't mean much to me. Four days later I was attending university classes, as part of their freshman summer session program.

Of course, I won't be graduating for a while because I don't take a heavy course load. I take the bare minimum needed to fulfill full-time schedule requirements so that I can keep my funding.

Anyhoo, congratulations to the graduating class of '03. Although this is the end of one chapter in your lives, I'm sure you'll see that it's only the beginning of another. ~_^

Oh, and maybe we'll see some super cool graduation pictures from some of you. heh.
