I don't think it is sad or embarrassing to miss the most carefree time of your life.. I worked a concert for the jazz band I used to be a member of and watching them just be kids in between/after playing stirred something within me. It's a precious, unique time that nobody ever seems to appreciate until it's long gone. I have very fond memories of those years and haven't been able to hang out with friends as often and consistently as I did then. I didn't have the freedom of being an adult yet but the world wasn't nearly as big either, so it didn't feel limiting. Sometimes people put this down as "peaking in high school".. I think peaking is nonlinear and different aspects of your life can be at their best at different times.. There's another thought to be had here but I don't have the words to finish it right now lol.. maybe at a later time

๐I hated college when I was there but I miss it so much everyday. I miss smiling at people in the hallway and doing homework. I think itโs good to reflect and appreciate things, even if you didnโt appreciate it in the moment. Having something to yearn about will push you to greater places.

๐"It's bittersweet" seems to be the only phrase I find myself saying lately... any of you guys have any recommendations for making the most of my final months of high school??
I really want to spend time and make memories together, but currently, school's very cliquey and I'm having trouble bringing the whole class together.

๐My god everything is experienced better this way. Stop looking at guides, walkthroughs, endings explained (my least favorite), even the blurbs on the back. Such a rare opportunity in this time to go into something without knowing anything about it, yet so rewarding. To be pleasantly surprised or blown away, to have no idea whatโs happening, to find that you really didnโt like it, an opinion formed on your own.. nothing is more valuable
