Memories

Today was yearbook distribution day, my last yearbook distribution day ever. This day I knew would evetually come, but it seemed so far away four years ago. Looking at my yearbook today, having people sign it, and just seeing how the students enjoyed their books was so much fun. It reminded me how important our memories are to us; how much we hold on to them tightly. As I had the first person sign my yearbook I felt this slight sadness, over someone who signed my yearbook last year, that someone I can't even bare and makes me sick to think about anymore. But as soon as that first person was finished signing I felt like I was given a clean slate to start over with. That it is a different year, a new year, and a different me. That this summer and the rest of my summers won't be as sucky as last year's.I guess what started me thinking was an old friend from sixth grade and how I saw her today and she told me she was engaged. This is the second person I know that is walking down the aisle. I just got this sense that I will be hearing many phrases like that soon and in the coming years. It really made me think how fast people grow up. I didn't really think I would but I will miss high school, but only the memories that I shared with people in these four years. They went by so very fast and I am glad to have met the people in them. So as I sit here eating my Napolean Dynamite ice cream and listening to Beck's 'Loser' I think about all the memories. The ones I will never forget, the ones I wish I could forget and the memories that I will carry with me forever. I am thankful for my memories and I would be lost without them I know. So that was what was on my mind, memories. The day in Freshman OEC that turned into Senior Physics with Nate. The long distance conversations and moments, that turned into close moments and conversations with Amanda. The transformation within a girl name Lizzy from just a year ago drama, to a girl I now heart to death. These memories of Junior Lunches and silly jokes will remind me of how good of friends I hope to stay with these people. I am just blabbering on right now, so I will stop and leave the rest of my thoughts for another day.
