Graduating sucks

[Cuda1447]

So Im a senior in higschool this year. As soon as I graduate Im moving from Northern Michigan to Tampa Bay, Florida. It sucks. For the first time in my life Im really happy. Ive got a ton of great friends. We hang out every weekened and variously throughout the week, and always have a good time. Its like I don't have to try and have friends anymore, we all just get along really well and know each other really well. We've even got our own language that others can't understand. When we talk we get weird looks all the time. Its great! Ive also got a great Girlfriend now too. I just started dating her about a month ago. She's so great. Really pretty, religious just like me, and has a great personality. On top of that she likes me alot too!! (Always a good thing) So everything in my life is going really really well, and I have to leave it come June 10th approximately. I'll be moving so far away chances are Ill never see any of these people again, or if I do it'll be like once a year. So now I have to move to a city where I have absolutely NO friends. Im not living on campus when I go to college, Im going to save my money and live with my parents (their pretty cool) So I won't meet anyone very easily.



But even if I do, whats the point. It'll just be repeating what Im going thru now. Eventually Ill have to move to wherever my job may be, and settle down. So Ill leave everyone AGAIN. And then Ill settle down, stuff will be good for awhile, and Ill die. Leaving everyone AGAIN. Its pointless. I'd rather not meet anyone I ever liked again and just live in a cave the rest of my life. Atleast I won't have to leave everyone I love. This sucks. Anyone else going thru anything similar to this?

Do you talk in ebonics or something? Why the hell are 18 year olds using 'code talk'?

Why are you leaving? School?

If so, you have the option to not go. Change is a part of life. You'll make friends. Well, so long as you don't try that code-talking crap with them. I guarantee Florida will be more fun than Northern Michigan.

Stop being depressed and make good use of the time you have left.

Wait until you graduate college!

 

[Cuda1447]

No we don't talk ebonics, or code. We just have so many memories with each other that certain words mean certain things. So we use those words instead, its just habit. When we do that alot of people dont understand what we are talking about, its not code at all.


On a side note, I think your a jerk so don't bother responding to me again. I saw your response in the joke thread a few mins ago and thought "wow what a jerk" then you responded here. You just reassured my previous assumption.

And yes Im moving for college, I have the option of not going, but that would be ridiculous. I live in a small city now and there is no future for me here so I have to go.

Yep I too am in my last year of highschool. Im really getting nervous about getting into University ( we don't find out until end of May ). I too will be moving away, far from how. However Im looking forward to it, I go to a small school and its not very fun, there's only 25 students in my grade in the whole school! :\ So were forced to hang around each other when I don't I'd hang out with most of these people.

In that way, I can't wait to get to a new place, meet new people. I'm sure a lot of people will be in the same boat as you at your college so it's not like you'll be an outcast or anything. 10 years from now you'll look back on your highschool years and laugh, it's "just highschool."

It does suck to move away from a place you feel comfortable and enjoy yourself. Just know you can achieve it all again, with all knew people, while at the same time experiencing new things.

You aren't necessarily losing your old friends, true friends from high school can be life-long friends.

Take what you've learned about friendships so far, and use them to put yourself in a good position where ever you happen to go through life... meet people quickly and keep your mind off what you left behind. There is no reason to dwell on the past, or evade the future because you miss the past... its all about making the best of the situations you're given. Its not pointless to make friends again, it is pointless to give up now because of what might happen in the future though.

I'm feeling likeYODA here.
This seperation anxiety you're feeling is a part of our modern life.
It will repeat itself throughout your life.
Young love is most chemically volatile. If you're meant to be together, you will be.
Chances are you will find others who attract you while you are apart.
Use the time in FLA to make new friends and contacts. When you decide to retire in 45 years, FLA may seem more comfortable than MI in the winter.....

< Didn't want to leave home when I graduated and went to college either......

It's hard to move away and leave friends. But nothing ever stays the same. Even if you were not moving, your friends might go away to college, or go to a job, or get married. Things would change. That's part of life. Knowing this doesn't make it any easier, unfortunately.

I think the best you can do is try to make the best of whatever situation you find yourself in.

Exactly, every summer I still go back to Hong Kong to hang around my elementary school friends.
If you reminisce too much, you will just go depress.

I'm sorry you feel I'm a jerk. Perhaps I should bother commenting on the irony that my opinion in the other thread was based upon a spelling typo and the fact that you made a typo in trying to insult me in this one? Bah, not worth it.

Anyways, I wasn't making fun of you. It was a joke. It just sounded funny the way you said you had your own language and I was jesting you about it. I'm sorry if you misinterpreted my joke. No hard feelings?

I was being positive about your opinion. I was telling you to stop being so sad and try to enjoy the time left so you don't regret it later. Of course everybody is going to be sad leaving their home town. It's scary moving to college but it's also exciting and a very crucial time in your life. You're going to be on your own and start to evolve into the adult you will be in the future.

Good luck in your move.

They finally gave you a Dragon...

Yep!!

People come and go in life, I've been through the whole graduation and separation deal and honestly it's not so bad at all. You really can't help but meet new people, it just happens.

College > High School ever was. You'll live

 

[Justin218]

yeah I am a senior in HS as well. While I am going to stay home and go to a local university, most of my friends are leaving. Oh well.

 

[CanOWorms]

Keep in touch with you friends over the phone and Internet. Since you're going to Florida maybe they'll be coming down there sometimes throughout their college years.

 

[xuanman]

northern michigan to tampa. you are going to have way more fun in florida than in the midwest.

That's life and it happens. I left a group of people after highschool and another after university. You may not want to hear it but for a lot of people once they get out of highschool and move on they quickly forget their highschool friends. The importance just fades.

Life is filled with change, but eventually you'll meet some chick and marry her and she'll be the rock, whether you move somewhere or not. Enjoy where you are now. Maybe Florida for a few years or 10 or 20, and then maybe somewhere else but just because you can't stay in contact with somebody forever doesn't mean they didn't add to your life.

 

[Cuda1447]

Skoorb you are a wise man. Thx that actually helped me alot.

 

[GermyBoy]

I know what you mean...except that I hated my hs and wanted to get out. So what can you do? You can go out there and be proud of who you are, and you can make a difference in other peoples lives, and somewhere along the way, someone might make a difference in yours.
