Another Year In the System

It seems almost surreal; I have finally reached the last year of the public education system. I can still remember riding the bus to elementary school complaining about having to sit in the front of the bus and now have reached a point in my life where everyone drives themselves and squabbles over parking spots. It seems as if we have learned very little since we first started in the education system; we kick, scream, and drag our feet as much now as we did then only now that kicking and screaming is typically accompanied with curses and insults. And now all of that arguing and disagreement is going to culminate in senior year. I admit that I have mixed feelings about next year; it is going to be strange to have a year in which I think about next year the entire time. Regardless of what happens in the future, I am happy to know that I am done with the most strenuous year of high school.
