In my school district, the end of semester was Friday. For me, this is always kind of sad. You've made friends in all your classes, finally gotten into the swing of things, and then it changes.
How many people actually keep their "good friends" if they aren't in any of their classes. Or even if they just don't sit by them anymore. How many of our "friends" are actually just superficial contacts we use to make us more comfortable in a situation?
Are you Really going to call that person to hang out? Or are you saying that to make you feel better?
Then there's just the fact that you're halfway through the school year. I'm terrified for this school year to end. Seriously terrified. Because I will be facing:
A- a summer without scout camp, with college, and too many hours in the day to fill with things to keep me from missing camp.
B- That much closer to my senior year, trying to decide on a career and a college, trying not to fail college classes.
C- Some of the most amazing people I know graduating and leaving me.
In high school it seems like friends are your world. You swear that you'll stay friends forever and always keep in contact. Then you go to college and get Far Too Busy to even call old friends just to catch up. How many adults do you know who are still really good friends with the people they knew in highschool? When was the last time they talked to them? Do they remember their friends' favorite color?
Are our relationships really so fragile? Are friendships really so ephemeral? Is it better for us just to go through our lives with only shallow contct with others? Would it be better to keep to ourselves to keep from getting hurt.

Sometimes I'm not sure i wouldn't rather be the young man with the perfect heart. It would definately be a lot less painful. I'm kind of tired of getting hurt.
Idk, I'm just a 16 year old ranting...

I think we will. You're too amazing to not be friends with.
