Uneasy Feelings

It is already half way through May. MAY! The school year usually zooms past but this year has set a new record. However for me, this time is even more significant because this is near the time when seniors leave to start their senior projects (like an internship). They get to choose their projects to participate in during the last two weeks of school, so they are not in classes.  Fact of the matter is, I’m just not ready to say goodbye to them. I have had senior friends in the past leave but this year I found myself especially close with this year's seniors. They are the class right above me and not only have we been on the same campus together for two years (The transition from Lower to Middle school and from Middle to Upper school). They have been the class I have been closest to besides my own because they were always the ones to look up to and to be inspired by.

This year’s seniors are especially awesome because they really stepped up the pep. They have been the most dedicated sports fans, the loudest cheering at the various Arts programs, and the smartest in class. They will leave a huge footprint for my grade to fill and they will be missed dearly. The uneasy feeling started after midterms when they took their last grand exam and school and there were some college acceptances here and there. With the National Reply Date behind us all of the senior’s futures are set for the next four years, a future away from the school. Even though they are keeping their energy up until the end, every moment I spend with a senior I can’t help but think I won’t have as many moments as these next year. But I can’t get down, because I know that they are going off to live a once-in-a-lifetime experience and that they will all do great, whether at Princeton, Clemson, Berkeley, or Spelman all of my seniors are going to have the time of their lives! Besides, it’s my grade’s time to show the school how much spirit we have!
