I have nineteen days of high school left. Its a bittersweet thing. I can't wait to get out of here. There's too much drama, way too much, and there's so much I won't miss. Boring teachers and pointless homework, walking like cattle and random assemblies, crowded halls and stupid freshmen.
But there's so much I will miss. The teachers I love and friendships I could have had. There's a lot of people I think I could have been good friends with but I met them too late or I didn't see them enough or we had a fight. Or worst of all, we grew apart.
At the start of the year, I realized I had ten months to say goodbye. Now I have nineteen days and I still don't know the right words.
I hope I find them.

Awwwwe. I feel you.
I'm graduating in the middle of next month, and yeah. I know exactly how you feel.
I hope you find the right words too!

Oh goodness! Good ole high school. How much I don't miss it.
Even if you don't find the right words to say to everyone you will eventually run into them later in life. You grow and mature a lot once you're out of high school. Most of those you are fighting with, will grow up and when you see them again you can find the right or better words to say to them. There will be the few that won't mature though and still act like they were living in high school, those people shouldn't matter to you if they hold grudge past high school. Heck, those who I never talked to in high school, I am now friends with. So, I'm sure the same thing will happen with you.
Either way, best of luck finding the words you need to say to those people. If you don't that's ok. Just because you're leaving high school doesn't mean you won't see them again. Good Luck!

It feels like a big deal because you're living it right now, but in reality, you look back and you don't care about high school. That whole thing about it being the best time of your life is just a line. Once out of high school, that's when the fun starts, and it has nothing to do with being in college or working real jobs or any of that, it's that you're done with being forced to do anything. You're completely free. You've completed all the schooling you need to complete to be successful in the world. And yes, you can get great jobs without college, they just aren't jobs that are advertised because no one thinks of them much.
Plus, you're an adult. No state curfews or any of that. Hopefully no parent curfews, but every parent is different. But Jean is right, you run into these people all the time. I barely go two days without seeing someone from high school. Heck, I run into my old English teacher a dozen times a year. And Tucson has a lot of people in it.
Besides, the people you really like, you never have to say goodbye to. You can still visit old teachers, talk to friends. I still go back to my high school sometimes and talk to my teachers, and of course scare the freshman half to death.
