High School: 10 Years After
March 26, 2011Solid,bone-jarring truth of all truths, it has been ten years after we marched down the winding stairs, all are in white like little school girl ghosts and sang to the Casper’s theme song “Remember Me This Way”. Honestly, I found it omenous because 1.) We were all in white 2.) Casper??! Hello. 3. It’s like we’re in our own funeral and our class valedictorian is giving the class eulogy.Dratz, that’s just me. I guess.
But yeah, that was just how remembered it. March 17 was our graduation if I remembered it correctly. And honestly, that was all that I remembered — because after that was …College. And it was a different playing field. High school was more laid back, superficial and it had lesser drama,I think. Our own problems revolve on where to hang out after school - where we always end up hanging out in the same place, with the same people. Do I miss high school? Sure, I do.
- I miss my daily allowance of Php 50.00.
- I miss getting free rides from my best friend.
- I miss attending mass every friday and getting a heat stroke for staying out in the unshaded part of the school grounds.
- I miss the last school days. Just before summer, when we all get too giddy and excited of not seeing the same four corners of catholic school prison.
- I miss the clubs - Science and Social Science Club plus the Children of Mary (Chastity/Charity Club for future ungirlfriendable virgins)
- I don’t miss prom because it sucked. And my partner fell asleep in our photo. Hahaha. Arse.
- I miss Senior Year. Time of our lives. Time to bid goodbye to the tyranny of the nuns, move on from an all-girl-school to Co-Education. FREEEEDOM!!!!
I thought it would never last. But everything ends to make way for new beginnings. So, it has been 10 years? What have we become? Where are we now? Who has the most number of children or stretch marks? Who are still living in their little high school fantasies with their high school sweethearts? Remember who never made. it. We shall find out in the coming months….
