High School Never Ends

I was just thinking today about how crazy it is that only a year ago, we graduated from high school *(and by we I mean those of us who graduated a year ago :) ).  But, then I think about it and so much has happened in the past year.  I think especially for me, so then it starts to seem weird that it's only been a year since it happened.  I can't believe it's only been a couple of months that I've become friends with some of the people who I consider my best friends today.  And, it seems like the even the people who I'm friends with now that I did know before I wasn't even that good of friends with until around graduation time.  Isn't it weird how that happens??


Think of how much has happened in that time!  I mean, if we were to take the time to actually add them up, I'd say probably at least 30 people from our dual graduating class *(Even though we were to separate graduating classes, I kinda consider 2009 Clearfield and Syracuse graduates to be the same) have gotten married, and even more than that have left on missions!!  I still feel like we're so young, how can all this be happening?  It's exciting, but crazy at the same time!  And then I, along with two of my friends, have gotten baptized!  And all in a year, but a year that seems so short!


Anyway, I wasn't even planning to put all that in this post!  Now to the REAL reason I wanted to write it.  I'm not going to name any names or describe any specific situations in this post.  And, if you think you know what a certain situation is, you probably don't..you'd be surprised how similar these things really are!


So, I've had some conversations with a few of my really good friends lately about how much drama still exists in our lives!!  I think I can say I haven't really been involved in any too recently other than just listening to other people vent, but I definitely was at the beginning of my college year.  I hate it!!  I don't understand why there's still so much crap that exists in our lives...and I always just think, 'This is SO high school!'  I've seen best friends not talk to each other, and then MAYBE resolve it just to become barely acquaintances.  And then I've seen couples get in fights over pretty much nothing, and then won't even acknowledge each other after they've broken up, which makes for a pretty awkward situation when they hang out with the same group of friends.....at the same time.


That's about as detailed as I probably want to get.  Obviously I know that there will always be some sort of animosity between certain people, but it seems crazy to me that it's escalated so much!  I'm not trying to say I'm perfect by ANY means, I've definitely had my share of drama.  But, I think I've really tried to avoid it in recent months, and I think I have been pretty successful.  Unfortunately, I just have a feeling that it will only continue.  I don't mind listening and talking with people about..I actually think that it helps the situation a lot.  But, I just don't want to get involved!  I have a hard time with that, and I'll say something and then have to apologize and stuff.


If anyone actually reads this, sorry my thoughts are so scattered.  Don't get me wrong..I absolutely LOVE my friends, and I am so fortunate to even have such good friends.  I just wanted to share some thoughts, so thanks for reading them :)
