We Saved the Best for Last...Minute!

Procrastination: putting off or delaying, especially requiring immediate attention.

Well friends, it is true; I am a procrastinator! I think that over the past two years my ability to procrastinate has only gotten...well, worse. It kicks my butt every time but in the end I seem to get what needs to be done finished. At least I know that I am not alone.

Our class is known to be procrastinators. Doing things last minute is how we roll. I am pleased to say that there have been some amazing results due to our procrastination.  This is something that is usually frowned upon but in defense of my classmates it has been very good to us! Between homecoming and other projects throughout our high school years it has become clear that we work better under pressure.  Oh how I am going to miss it! I blame the extreme creativity and the ability to work together. Man, without the ideas of each individual in our class I don't think we would be able to pull our accomplishments off.

We begin something with such a vivid vision in our minds. How we get there is something I wonder to myself but all I know is somehow our vision becomes what we pictured it to be, if not more. I love the feeling of being apart of a creation so wonderful. One individual has what it takes to create something beautiful but when several gifted individuals get together and share their thoughts it can be breathtaking. I think I can back this up by experience. I am known to be creative and when I create something that turns out great I immediately take pride in the work that was put into it. When I am connected with my classmates to create something incredible the feeling of satisfaction is ten times better! Being able to share the joy of accomplishment with my classmates is priceless.

Alright, alright I guess we already know that the Class of 2012 is off the chain! I have learned that it doesn't matter what class you are in but being given the opportunity to work with any group of individuals is something to cherish. I have seen some of the best work done through groups throughout our school. Luckily I have been given the honor of being included in some of these groups. I have seen magic done around me. Working with talented individuals is something which I am very thankful for. It has allowed us to use the right side of our brains to create some impressive creations! Yes procrastination has surrounded my classmates and me several times throughout our high school years but I say that it has all been worth it. Through the grumpiness and butterflies in our tummies it has all worked out in our favor, thank goodness! Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to work with you!! It has been wonderful wonderful. :)

Celebrate Good Times, C'mon!

So I am sitting in a kitchen listening to my ma, Aunt Rosa, and Aunt Olivia brainstorm ideas for the Grad night party. OH MY GOODNESS, Grad night! Twenty-Eight more days till graduation, my friends! As I sit here listening to the ideas and planning of my family members I cannot set my mind to believe that the special day is just about here. AHHHH!

SO I have just been informed that Grad Night will be themed based on homecoming, making the party this year 80's. My aunts and mom continue asking me for ideas on activities and prizes for the night. For some reason I am clueless and I believe that maybe it is because Graduation night feels unreal to me. All this talk about celebrating is exciting but I also feel a little sad about it. Never in my life would I have thought that sadness would come in contact with celebration. By the sounds of the brain power sitting around me it sounds like the Grad Night party will be a blast and I have no doubt that it won't be. There is a constant reminder that the Grad Night party will be probably the last time several of us will be together all at once.

Over the past three years I have attended the Grad Night parties and they have been some of the longest nights of my life! Luckily this year it will only be going until three in the morning. The grad night party will be different for me this year though. The past three years my mom has kind of made me go to the parties but this year there won't be no force to go. I will be attending the party in the eyes of a senior (or a newly-high school graduate). I will want to be there simply because it will be one of the last times I will be able to enjoy the people I have grown up with. This thought keeps getting weirder and weirder, ee!

It was only a couple weeks ago that all I was doing was wishing for the year to be over. This feeling has gone, thank goodness! Our days together are limited. I appreciate these last weeks more than ever. It's funny how it took reality for me to appreciate what I have left in high school. I encourage the rest of you to finish the year strong and cherish our last days together. We cannot stop the days from passing us by but at least we have control over how we spend the days. I invite you all to spend the grad night party with me and celebrate the remainder of our “senior year”. Encourage your friends to attend the party too. Lets make the best of Friday, May 25^th.

P.S
It is said as often as it should be but thank you all for playing a huge role in my high school experience and the last couple of weeks. I owe it to you all. I love you, my friends!

CLOSING TIME!

MY DEAR CLASSMATES,
When you look back on all we've done I hope you're proud. When you look back and see how far we've come it was our time to shine, and nobody could hold us down. They thought they'd see us fall. We stood so tall and know we wont forget. Whenever you remember times gone by, remember how we held our heads so high.                                                                                                     (Carrie Underwood)

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BREATHE
Just let it in, let your clarity define you, in the end we will only just remember how it feels, our lives are made from these small hours, these little wonders.                                                                                               (RobThomas)

OUR TIME TOGETHER IS LIMITED AND
As we go on, we remember all the times we had together and as our lives change, come whatever we will still be friends forever.                                                                                                    (Vitamin C)  

I BELIEVE,
I believe the world is burning to the ground. Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out.. lets see how far we've come, lets see how far we've come. Well I believe it all is coming to an end.
                                                                                                                 (Matchbox Twenty)
WHEN IT'S OVER,
I'll carry you home. Tonight, we are young so I set the world on fire we can burn brighter than the sun.                                                                                                           (Fun.)

WE WILL BE CELEBRATING THEN AS WE BEGIN OUR LIVES,
You're gonna miss this, you're gonna want this back, you're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast......                                                                                         (Trace Adkins)

THE REMINISING WILL BEGIN.
 Oh man we were livin'. We didn't waste one minute. We talked, and drank, and danced and said goodbyes. We laughed until we cried.                                                  (Jason Aldean)

THE BIG DAY IS GETTING CLOSER AND
Although we have come to the end of the road, still I can't let go.                  (Boyz 2 Men)

I ASK ONE THING FROM YOU ALL.
Don't you forget about me, don't, don't, don't...                                           (Simple Minds)

FRIENDS, IT IS ALMOST HERE.
Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.    (Semisonic)

LIFE IS FILLED WITH ADVENTURES AND
Time grabs you by the wrist and directs you where to go. So make the best of this test and don't ask why. It's not a question but a lesson learned in time. It's something unpredictable but in the end it' right.  I HOPE YOU HAD THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.       (Greenday)                                                                                                     

LOVE ALWAYS, MUD ♥
P.S. Who needs one class song when we can have several? :)
