Saying Goodbye

Hey Guys,

Saying goodbye to anything is difficult, especially when that thing has been part of your life for 14 years...

That 'thing' for me is school. School is something that becomes your entire focus, it controls and dictates your life.

My schedule was: Wake up, school, work, sleep, wake up ,school, work, sleep. X6 times a week. ( yes I know, i had Saturday school..Oh the horror..)

Even your friends become the ones you make and see in school, your future starts to depend on what happens at school.
School is your life.

And then its over, 14 years of routine over.

Therefore when it ends, even for a relatively non-sentimental person like me it is weird.

My school, although I have some bad memories there, it was cheese-ly my home for 5 years.
Literally though because of the immense hours i had to spend there working...

School being over is definitely a good thing, I am now free to focus entirely on history, eat as much ice cream as i want and watch TV and movies until my head hurts.

For those of you who have finished school, you'll know the feeling of happiness, freedom mixed with apprehension at the amount of time you now have and the fact you now have to actually manage and succeed in your life..by yourself. (But seriously what was I doing with my life before revision).

If you haven't left school, don't worry you will get there. Every teacher criticism, mean person and low grade is one small step to leaving. You'll get there in no time.

As i end this chapter, finally, in my life i decided to make a video to commemorate

Hope you all have a good week, I will be slowly processing the fact i never have to endure another school lesson again....

But as Pi from the Life of Pi said: "Life is defined by letting go. What holds you back is not saying goodbye."

Love,
