its a bit of a vent;

im gonna miss my town. everyone knows everyone, everyones always smiling running from community event to community event. its actually kind of disgustinly cute. like even the police are all way too nice, like the officer i had for D.A.R.E caught me walking home with friends one night after a party and gave us all a ride home and didnt do anything beyond tell our parents. (didnt get in trouble, though parents thought it was funny)

so like its weird to think about leaving, like i just took my last finals that remotely mattered and now its like im a second semester senior...im gonna be leaving in a few months, we had an assembly today about caps/gowns, prom, etc. and i just felt a little nauseaus, like this chapter is coming to a close, i most likely will never see any of these people again, im starting to get nerves and its not even close to time for leaving really. i've been away from home for summers and months at a time but this is leaving home for real,

i guess i'm scared. im gonna be in city i've never been to across the entire USA (and a hop across part of the pacific ocean), in my own empty townhouse (mom wants to retire in hawaii so she decided i might as well just live there until she retires) the life plan is hawaii for undergrad, cannes for a year abroad, then a University of California school for graduate. the closest semi friend i'll have is going to be in Seattle and im only gonna be able to visit home once a year, aaaah

anyone else move really far from home for college?
 
Yeah, its my second year in Owen Sound,Ontario. I live in Quebec City. It took some getting used to, but after some time, you kinda get used to your new surroundings, make friends and you will have a good time.

 
It feels wierd now and It will keep feeling weird even after you've moved. But trust me when i say that it only gets better from here.
 
I've been with the same kids since before preschool, almost all 86 of them. My graduating class is like my family, and my town sounds just like yours. Plus we're all going away to college in completely different parts of the country.

Just reading everyone's senior profile things for the yearbook made me tear up, and I'm not an emotional person at all. I'm so scared to leave all these people.. It's messed up.
 
thats cool. you'll miss home and everything but not as much once you get to college you'll meet aton of kids and party and all that shit and have aton of fun. my town is getting really old lived here my whole life so i cant wait to go to college and meet some new kid. but hawaii you really cant shred there.
 
Hawaii. OUCH!

I'm moving to CO from FL this Sunday. I live on a farm so I'm mostly going to miss all my horses, dogs, cats and my steer.
 
high school sucked anyways. don't worry about it, i went through the same sort of thing and i'm 1 hour from home. it will just make you appreciate what you have at home, and you'll really enjoy going back for holidays and such. just enjoy yourself and make the best of it, shouldn't be too hard in hawaii.
 
i live in swarthmore (home of swarthmore university aka most rediculous small liberal arts school ever)

and im gonna go to university of hawaii at manoa prob., i was thinking about going to school in cali and i got in a few places along with a few on the east coast but i'm paying for college and manoa is hella cheap and i figured since i'm gonna go to a graduate school undergrad wasn't that big of a deal

gonna
 
* gonna really miss the snow though, but i figure there will be plenty of snow and skiing in my future its just three years and theres breaks to go skiing during, surfing will be fun too
 
I'm pretty bumbed out about that too. I live in a town like that, but at the same time its a new chapter to my life..I can do what ever I want. As with anything growing pains are going to insure, but the fortunate thing with technology they will always be one myspace away. Hawai'i is pretty dope and you'll have some good times. Just remeber what it was like, because those memorys are what binds you to your buddies.
 
ha, just wait till you graduate college. Now THAT'S scary. Lemme tell you. Move to a new city where you know nobody and all you do is work. It no longer has the social atmosphere of college and your friends become the people you work with. People actually have lives, like marriages and kids. Life is not the same.

So enjoy college cause it's all downhill from there.
