   To grow or not to grow
Summer's officially over and school officially starts, or in my case, college. College is said to be a main factor in one's life because it will determine your future or something like that. I'm actually kinda excited because I'm officially going to First Year College this Tuesday (actually, my class is from 3:00 pm- 6:00 pm, talk about over sleeping on your first day of school), and I was hoping that I could aim for honors (pls. oh pls. i hope that its possible)

Just last Saturday, my friend Chris celebrated her 18th birthday by having a debut which was masquerade themed. Yesterday, I went to a debut of my other friend (which is not that close, although I'm surprised that she invited me) which was Bollywood style, and I think I'll be invited again to another debut this July, which is in fact a double debut as two of my classmates who are best friends celebrate their 18th birthdy toghether. Seeing all my friends take a step towards adulthood makes me proud to be their friend. I can't wait for the time when I have a debut (anime theme is out of the question no matter how deeply I love anime), I'll invite my new college friends, my old classmates, some of my old batchmate, teachers (old and new), and other friends. I just hope that after two years, we would still be united as if we have never been apart. By the time I become 18, everyone is already twenty and second year college would have ended already (come to think of it, I hope my classmates would have time to attend my debut seeing as it is during the finals)...ah the curse of being the youngest, being treated like a kid and being the last bloomer.

When the time comes for my debut, I wanna reunite my old class once again and converse with each other as if we have never been apart. I wanna have a great, no...a grand blowout with all my friends. Why wait for 10 years to have a reunion when you can just wait two years?

I find it so hard to let go of my class and my high school life. I've grown so close to my classmates and my teachers, they're like my second family. I just want to be with them always; but it is naive of me to think that we will be together forever, because we won't.

Would we still remember each other after 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? I have to let go sooner or later...that's why...I don't want to grow up yet...but that's impossible.
