Today was our last day of academics at school, and I just can't help but feel elated and free. The time to relax has arrived, I think to myself. Although graduation rehearsals and graduation songs still need to be taken care of, I just can't stop this carefree feeling anymore.

     So here we are, counting down the last few days of our high school lives. It’s almost bittersweet, since I've grown up with my batch mates and they’re somewhat a second family. But really, it is much sweeter than it is bitter. Though I’m quite nervous about entering one of the most prestigious universities in our country and about how college life will be for me, I can say I’m excited and ready to take on the challenge.
