The last first day of high school. The last first bell. The last first game. The last first pep-rally. The last first homecoming dance of the season. The last first of high school. You don't think about it until it's almost the last last day of high school. The friends you have made. The memories that were created. The tears you cried and the laughs you shared. The last first day of a new year, seeing all the same people coming back from summer break and catching up. The last first homework assignment. The last time you'll see many of the people you have grown up with. The last first time you will run to your friends in the hallway. The last first crush of the year... The year to get it all together. Scholarships, applications, colleges, ACTs and SATs, student loans, bookstores, professors... The best year of high school. It went by so fast. You blink once and you're already down to 26 more days left at somewhere you've spent at least four years waking up at 6 AM and going to almost everyday. It's mind-numbing. Its relentless in its tourture. It's almost unbearable. Definitely unbelievable. Crazy. Hectic. Especially if you didn't plan it all out. You are still working on your life and you don't have it all together. You didn't take those tests. You didn't get the scholarship applications turned in and didn't get the signature for the recommendation letters. You didn't start calling all the bookstores to find a bargain for your college algebra class. You didn't have a plan. You just went with it. The last first missed assignment. The last first weekend party. The last firsts of high school. It's crazy. In less than a mere month, I will be walking across the stage, shaking my principal's hand with I take a fake diploma from his other, and hoping my friends don't see me cry as I walk down the stairs, praying not to fall since I can't see through my tears. I can't believe that I have spent the past 12 years with the same people, only to probably never see them again. I can't believe I'm a senior. I don't have a plan, and I don't have the drive to make a plan yet. I don't know what I am going to do, but for right now, I think I'll just make some more last firsts.

Nice take - Yeah it is a the start of the transition, in fairness I think very few have a fixed plan in the last year of high school yet it has worked out for millions before you - Things just tend to fall into place - You just continue making memories.
>the memories you wish you had created
I miss it. It sucks.
