The future.
One of those hideous concepts that at this time of year, it is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid having to think about and consider. After all, if all goes according to plan, I graduate in just barely three months. I should probably feel anxious and excited.
Pity I know what a bitch the real world is going to be.
Where the hell did all that blissful ignorance of mine go? I could really use it about now. Instead, I'm consumed with utter denial as to the fact that my comparatively carefree world (in terms of financial obligations, taxes, and all that other annoying stuff) is about to end. All those smiling counselors and teachers that beam at you and spew such crap like "You have the best part of your life ahead of you" or "Your future's just beginning" are beginning to make me rather sick.
Thank you, but as any (or most) older people will tell you, the best part of my life is already over. High School sucks when you're in it, but come the 40's, you realize just how much better it is than being stuck having to be at work all day. And sure, my future is just beginning.....to end.
I suppose that is a bit overly pessimistic. Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of people who fully look forward to their years after high school, along with their prospective careers. But I myself am just going to do the dutifully dark thing and taint it all with my negativity.
But I think that was sufficient enough. Right now, I'm going to go and grab some Advil. A long field trip to one of the local technical colleges has given me a migrane.
On a side note, a word of warning: Don't ever buy half a pizza, a chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, and two Cokes and not expect to feel sick afterwards. Heheh.
