Stop Counting Crayons, and Starting Drawing a Picture

That's it.

They're gone.

And I have no idea when I'll see them again.

Thursday was the last day for the seniors at school. It was always sad to see some of the people you look up to go, but that was nothing compared to this year. Not only were this year's seniors people that I had looked up to, but they were people that I was friends with, that I had personal connections with, that I loved. Walking into school today and seeing all those wonderful people gone...was just...unreal.

Not only that, when we walked into school today, we were the oldest kids in the school. That was even weirder. Suddenly I felt that accelerated aging feeling that I felt before. If you don't remember/know what I'm talking about, then I must bring back the picture of me as an old person.

WHOA. Way off subject. Anyway, today we had a speaker talk to all of us juniors on how to make senior year fantastic. He was absolutely fantastic. One of his quotes was actually the title of this post. His speech was really inspiring, because he told us how to be seniors. Have fun, live a little, just don't be stupid about it.

Well, our grade kind of failed that last part.

See, on the seniors' last day, they have this tradition of charging down freshman floor. I know this for a fact, because I was on freshman floor my freshman year when it happened. It looked a little something like this:

Well, apparently, the juniors, now being the oldest in the school, thought that it would be appropriate for them to charge the hallways between classes the day we had our speaker. I did not participate in the charge, and I'm glad, for during lunch, the following announcement came across the speaker system.

You could tell that they were pissed, I mean, security cameras!?!?! All those rumors about the security cameras in our school not working, are apparently false.

I think that this is when the phrase, "sucks to suck" plays itself appropriately here.

Honestly, I don't see the point in doing it at all. First of all, we aren't seniors yet, and not that you've gotten suspended for thinking you are, you're starting to look pretty dumb (Fact: about 60 kids were suspended that day, and the number is grew since I last heard). Secondly, I get that you're excited to be seniors, but couldn't you at least wait until next Thursday? We still have a week of school left, for crying out loud.

Needless to say, I'm a little peeved at my grade.
