Man, it is really thick right now. I only have 13 more days of school left and it is just killing me! I want to graduate now, but the teachers ALWAYS cram your last two weeks of your edcational career. I have SO much homework, most of it being reading Lord of the Flies (which I really don't feel like reading, maybe on my own time, but now?). I have already accepted my scholarship to USU and I am slacking off more and more and care less and less. Is this normal?

I want to Master in Electrical Engineering, follow in my grandfather's footsteps.

I know, I just need to bite the bullet, even though it gets tougher everyday, the end will be here shortly (at least so we hope).

exactly!

You'll soon see that "this too shall pass" is a common motto. Then it becomes "this too shall pass... too quickly".
I know you have probably heard all this before... like "I feel like it was just the other day when..." but it is true. :)
Enjoy each moment, and try to not rush it too much.

I know, I consider myself a fairly good student with a 3.96 GPA and 26 ACT. I actually really enjoyed high school a lot because I was really involved with the arts, mostly musical arts like marching band and choir. Its just that the anticipations is killing me. This year has been hard for me to barrel through because I finished all the Science and Math (AP Calc AB and AP Physics B) last year, so I have been stuck taking all the boring required classes this year. I need math to stay sane in school, spo this year has drug on like no other.

Funny that this was brought up because last week I was laying in bed trying to get to sleep and it suddenly dawned on my it's been 15 years since I graduated from high school. Feels strange to look back and realize that my elementary school summers felt longer than the last 15 years of my life.

don't worry about school because believe it or not that is the easy part of growing up. and don't worry about getting old until you have started more then one storey by saying "I remember when..."

Congratulations on your soon to be graduation, Matthew. I hope as the years go by you will still keep interested in photography along with all the other things you will as you go to college, fall in love and get married, have kids and all that stuff!

It's been 31 years since I graduated from high school - it seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye. So much of age is in the mind though - even though I'm a grandmother life is still a fun adventure.

Congrats on graduation everyone! It's been 9 short years since high school for me. It was a lot of fun! I don't miss the cramming for tests and waking up at 5:30am, but I had fun!

For those of you going to college, you'll learn how easy high school really was! Have fun, study hard, keep up the great hobby of photography!!!

Yep, it's normal. CONGRATULATIONS on your accomplishments!!! This summer will seem strange because you're "between" things. My oldest son just graduated from CSU Saturday and he went through the same thing. Starts graduate school at UNC in the fall, so he's a "tweener" this summer. My oldest daughter earns a Masters next Friday. She's doing an internship, so is pretty involved yet. She plans to work in the field for a year before going back for a doctorate.

Enjoy every minute of it!!
