I shouldn't be on here writing, I have some work to do. Like a lot, about a quarter or so of a class due to having to do online classes to be able to take tech center, but I digress....
I was thinking, I need to write on here more, I used to post a lot more on here than I do know.
The end of the year is coming, and coming fast. As I'm sure many of my fellow seniors can relate, I always looked up to the moment where I was handed a diploma, where I was free to live my own life and do my own gig, but now that moment is finally arriving, I'm somewhat uncertain how I feel about it. You grow used to routine, and there is a sense of security you gain from it. I've been a very similar routine for 13 years, going to school in the morning, coming home in the afternoon, doing my homework, etc. This year however has actually been pretty difficult due to the fact that I work a lot know either for school purposes, at best buy, online classes, and other things like getting back into the banjo. Yes, I play the banjo, among other instruments. I miss the days where everything was simple, back in elementary school. Where I could come home to the neighborhood of kids and always do fun stuff outside, or play super smash bros 64 or goldeneye. I miss those days where I didn't have to worry about money, my future, or really anything else except for what I was gonna do that day. Those were fun days, but we gotta move on, speaking of which...
A dear friend of mine, Jordan Williams, who I've known for years, is moving away to California. I will be going on a LDS church mission in the fall (no, I don't have my calling yet) so I wasn't gonna see him for at least 2 years anyways, but the reality is finally hitting me. Him and I have traveled all over Utah and beyond, seen all kinds of things, and experienced a whole library of events together. I'll miss all the fun things we used to do, all the places we would go, the spontaneous road trips, the paranormal investigations, the LAN parties, the airsoft, the man dates, food at 3am, chatting about life, pranks and trolling, going to rock creek, and so many other things. This one goes out to you buddy! You've helped me through a lot in life, and I thank you for that. I'm gonna miss our fun times when your gone. We will hopefully link back up when I get home and things will hopefully be close to what they used to be. Never in my life have I had a friend other than you who I could tell anything to without awkwardness, feeling judged, or worrying about a lack of support. You have been a dear friend of mine for some time now, almost as long as I can remember, good luck, be safe, and have fun! We will exchange stories upon my return.
I will miss so many of my good friends when I'm gone, I'll be excited to see you all when I return.
I'm somewhat worried about leaving for 2 years and coming back to friends and family that would be difficult for me to recognize, or talk to, or relate with. Regardless, the mission I'm sure will be a great experience for me! I'm excited to go, should be awesome!
