Goodbye Highschool, Hello Art School

by Rinn in My Life

So yes, it finally happened. I've officially graduated from high school!!! My graduation was Tuesday and it was very bittersweet. Honestly, I'm ecstatic to finally be out of high school, but at the same time, it was so hard to say goodbye to all my friends. I thought that I would cry during graduation, but it ended up that I cry the minute I get in the car and start leaving campus. All of my friends are going to be in different areas. Luckily, most of my friends are staying on the east coast except for one of my friends who is attending Pitzer College in California and my other friend who is from Sweden and another from Spain. I'm going to miss both of them so much! With all of my friends, I saw them everyday during breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as hanging out after dinner and after late night study hall. I guess thats the difference between boarding school and a normal high school. I practically live with all my friends and they've become family to me. I wish I could take all of them with me to college!! But overall, the whole experience was nice. It was really nice to see my Mom look like she was actually proud of something I did.

Looking back at my senior year this year, a lot of has happened. I've learned a lot about myself as well as my friends and the people around me. My friends and I have grown closer than ever and I definitely socialized more this year since I was admitted into college very early. But the biggest learning experience was from my "love life" this year. I dated a Caucasian boy (mind you, the first non Asian I've dated) for four months and had the WORST post breakup experience with him. I have never been in a situation like this, and honestly, I hope something like this won't happen again. Thanks to my friends, I was able to make it through that experience without losing my mind. Boys...can't live with them, can't live without them lol.

So despite how depressing it has been to graduate from my school, I'm excited for what the future holds! I got into my first choice art school and I got merit scholarship on top of it! I have never EVER gotten scholarship or anything of the sort in my life, I was incredibly shocked when I got the letter. On top of it, one of my friends from high school is also going to be attending the same art school so at least I'll know someone there. Either way, I'm excited!

So my plans for this summer? I was trying to get a job but I'm still jobless. My mother is bugging me about it constantly. In the town I live in, its hard for teenagers to get part time summer jobs since most of the teens who are working have been working at the store after school since the beginning of the school year. So right now, I just want to get back to my digital art since I took a loooong break from it due to all my art class assignments and my classes that sucked up all my time and energy. One of my goals will be to get in shape. And I need to get my pudgy puppy into shape as well hehehe.
