Impatience

When I was younger I couldn't wait to go to college. By the time I was in sixth grade I was bored with the school I had to do and was ready for school I wanted to do. I'm in the last stretch before I hit college and even today the waiting is killing me. I am not going to lie I am a very impatient person but cut me some slack I have been waiting for college since forever. People keep telling me that I am going to miss high school, that I'm going to wish that I was back there when I get into the real world. They don't understand that's where I am meant to be. I'm supposed to be in the real world it's where I belong. It's impossible to make a difference when one resides someplace other than the real world. High school wasn't all that thrilling for me and the only thing I am going to miss are my friends but I'm not too shook up because even though I won't get to see them as much I will still see them. I basically used high school for what it was intended for; to learn. Imagine that. I never went to a single party during my entire four years, never drank, never did drugs, never even got a speeding ticket. I saw the consequences suffered by my fellow students and I weighed the outcome of good and bad. Most of the time bad surpassed good. So I read books, watched the news, worked at my job at the video store, and tried to keep myself informed all the while thinking that I was tired of wondering about college, and what my classes were going to be like. I have a little over a month and it feels like it's limping along. I'm spending time with my friends before we all have to part ways in the fall and it's been a lot of fun. But I'm still waiting and it's driving me crazy.
