Senior Year

We have finally made it to my senior year in high school. It should have been fun, right. Was mine that way?

Me

Here is a picture of my 12th-grade year. I didn’t have a suit or I would have worn that, I guess I wasn’t a suit person, yet.

Yes, I did maintain that long hair, it was a trend, it wasn’t like I was doing anything bad. I was a good kid. But, I have a story of me pretending to be bad and it worked like a charm. It was a fun game, but it could have turned out so much worse for me. But it didn’t, was just making sure that they knew that I knew who they were, the undercover police officers.

Not what I expected

Yea, my senior year was not what I expected. I thought it would be fun and games. My JR year was pretty fun, all except for the following:

Dating
- Didn’t happen
Spanish
- Hated it
- Expect for the girl I sat next to all year, until I transferred out half-way in the 4th term. Then it was a catch up game in the new class.

I was shy and timid, I had a lot of friends but, I am not a very talkative person. I just normally sat in the back and went with the flow.

Hence why I didn’t date that much my JR. year. Thought my senior year would be different. Was it?

Senior Year

Well if you are thinking that all of a sudden that I would become the life of the party and start talking and taking the lead. Well, I didn’t do that.

Did I date?

Yes, I did date. I dated a girl I meet at work. She asked me out and we dated for most of the summer. I was an idiot and broke it off. I know, I know. However, we went on a double date with her cousin and my friend Billy. After that, he wasn’t allowed to go on double dates with me. We got home late. Yea, like 3 AM late. We were at her house. Watching a video and making out. So I had that going for me.

She sat in front of me in marketing, which was my first-period class on A days. We were friends still. I have the up most respect for her. We haven’t talked in a few years, but I consider her a friend.

I did date, but not from my high school. I did date girls from 4 of the other high schools in my area. So that was good.

Classes

I only had to transfer out of one class my senior year and this was halfway through the 1st term. Which was fine. That meant that I didn’t need to switch up my classes in the 2 term of the year. So that was nice.

How was it

Well, I wish I could say it was the best year of my life. But it really wasn’t. Yes, I was finally moving on from school, well, from the K-12 portion of it anyways. But it wasn’t how I expected it to go. That is a story for another day.

Best things

One of the best things about my senior year is that I had my own parking space. Yes, you heard me right. I parked in the same spot all year long. No one ever parked in it. I mean it was on the first row of parking. Ys, it was front row parking. Well not for students, but for the faulty. Yes, for the teachers and staff. I pulled into the parking lot one morning. Running late and I didn’t want to park at the back of the lot. I should have been to school earlier, but I wasn’t. I found a parking spot and just pulled in. Didn’t get a ticket or anything. So I just kept parking there. All year long.

It made it a pain in the butt when you wanted to leave, but the school buses were there. So I had to wait, but that was rare as I usually left at 12:20 PM or at 5:30 PM. (during Football season) the 2 months after football was over and on B days I had to wait to leave. Since I got out of school and at a normal time.

Crush

In my Senior year, I still had a crush on a girl from my Jr. year. Even when I had a girlfriend, I still liked this one girl and I knew that she liked me. But I asked her out and she said no. It was like what the hell just happened.

I was sitting in my marketing class behind my ex-girlfriend, yes we’re still friends and I looked over towards the window. There was a girl that I ended up having a major crush on. I mean major crush. I wanted to ask her out to homecoming. But, all the other girls I asked, whom I had crushes on said no. So I wasn’t going to take that change. I would admire her from afar. So I took my girlfriend at the time, who went to a different high school.

Sorry

To the person who asked me out and had that box of candy delivered to my parenting class. I am so sorry I didn’t respond, but I didn’t see anything in the box. I feel like a big freaking idiot. I think I know who you are. But I am so sorry. You are probably the same girl that waited for me at the entrance to the school so you could walk with me to class.
