Approaching your senior year

Okay Okay Okay... Im sure its been said a thousand times by now to make your senior year count. The real question here is have you fully grasped the concept of that statement. This year if you do one thing worthwhile let it be a deeper look into the real person that you are. Self discovery is one of lives greatest privledges. Don't be who your friends think you are at parties or that girl who agrees with everyone in order to be liked by all. Amaze yourself and truly reach out to others. Don't talk behind others backs just because you can and don't analyze other peoples lives because its simply entertaining. Understand that this is your last year of true childhood. Take it or leave it but don't underestimate the power of regret. Regret you may feel a few years from now may not be fixable. Live this year like you mean it. I wish I felt like the message of this bloc would truly be taken in and understood but honestly I don't know that if I read it I would understand or really care what it said. Its just simply one persons opinion on what should be accomplished during this last year of high school. Take it as friendly advice. Advice from someone whose living it with you. Advice from someone who feels like they have blown a lot of their high school experience for the sake of wanting out. Now that were all here it seems more real. Honestly, the winds have shifted and I find myself wanting to stay here in our last year of high school forever. I know the future is bright for most of us who gave a crap in high school, but for those of us who didn't... What becomes of your futures? Make this year count... Let it make up for all the years that you didn't give it your all or all the years when you could have been a better person to all who knew you. Or even just that one day that you could have been a better friend. Columbine High School blows my mind with all of the love and support most of us share with one another. Lets keep it that way and make it stronger. Man.. What a bunch of rambling. I should really end this before I start believing that this may change anything.

Mike, I cant call you a jerkface because the opinions that you have arent completly "out there." Honestly, they make a lot of sence. I guess i just wanted to paint a picture of how it could be. And although we may never see ANY of these people EVER again. How do you want to be remebered? I guess that was the only point of this writing.
