I think the one thing I'll miss is the people I went go to school with. I know once high school ends I won't see most of these people. Most are going to different colleges or military service or just working from there. So I think the people I got used to I will miss

I'll probably miss how close it is to home. I've lived in Chicago for 14 years and I'm going to be sad to say goodbye to it. I'll miss my teachers (probably not my friends) for teaching me some cool life lessons.

I'm going to miss the opportunities and the community. Yeah, I know I've babbled about how I don't particularly care about the whole demeanor of a lot of people here, the way they carry themselves through life, but I still would have like to have been more connected with people here. Maybe it's my fault for making friends with seniors in pretty much all 4 years. Since everybody I knew moved away, I was kind of up a creek without a paddle, since I had no social ability at the time. I can hold a conversation now, but I have so many things I have to focus on that I can't do much else.
It would have been nice to get to know my teachers better too. I feel like I'm going to forget everyone after a few years, and I find that idea a little disappointing.

The one thing I will miss about high school is the fun i had in all these 4 years. I will never ever forget the new things i learned from here. These were the best four years of my life YET. More coming soon...

5/31/18 Samantha Arroyo The number one thing I thing I'll miss about high school would be the environment . College you don't have time to joke Around or slack off . You can't miss days or walk around. I don't think I'll miss the people i don't care about them, but I'll miss not having to be exactly responsible .

05/22/18 Samantha Arroyo Prom was such a good experience . I enjoyed it and it was fun. At first I didn't think it would end up good . I took my boyfriend and I thought we were going to end up fighting but instead it was such a good night I loved it and I would go back and do it all over again. It was good vibes only and everyone was just enjoying the time together. I was having to much fun to take many pictures to be honest

It's been a long day. It's hot as balls outside today. Winfrey thinks it's nice out. But he's in jean's so once he gets outside he'll realize it's hot as balls himself. I like 8th cool people. I'll kinda miss this school. Not the school itself but the people I've had classes.

The end is near. Thank god. Jeez, I'm so excited to graduate. I don't really wanna go to my graduation, I just want my diploma, but my mom wants to see me in my cap and gown and all that good stuff. It's hot today, I don't wanna step out of the building, but I'll do it to hang out with my boyfriend. We can watch shitty movies and make good food.
laters going to be lit! going to the beach later and it's going to be like 90 degrees today it's definitely the move. I'm hanging out with my friend today and we're going to be downtown for a while. hitting up spots enjoying the day. then after she wants to leave we'll split at the train and I'll go meet up with my friends at the beach and we're going to get T'D!!!!

I have too much homework to do. I have been doing homework and staying up until 2:00 am getting everything done for the last two weeks. Every day, it's "oh, can you help me figure out this?" or "oh, here's this assignment to fill up the dead time" or "Here's yet another essay to write because it's the last week and screw you." I hate it. I know that this is the final push and all, but I really could use some respite. I have to seriously consider if I can even spare two hours of an entire 3 day weekend to enjoy myself. 2 HOURS out of 3 days. 2 out of 72 hours is what I have to not be working. At the least I'll be able to sleep, maybe.
I can't even promise myself that at this point, the work just keeps on coming more and more and more and more.
Damn dude this year flew by so quickly. Just two more weeks and we're done and gone . The memories every single student has in this building is an life lesson or just cherished moment to them. Like I remember how I walked in the main entrance as a freshman and BAM! We just need two more weeks and some of us won't need to be around here .

I just registered for my college classes. I am kind of scared, excited, nervous, happy, dont really know how i m feeling. But i am happy about one thing that i m graduating high school being 16 years old. I know it is surprising.

I have a doctor's appointment today, so I can't see my boyfriend until tomorrow. I'm bummed out. At least I don't work tomorrow, so we can spend the entire day after school together. Also, I'm dragging him with me to Starved Rock for the weekend, so that'll be super fun. I don't know what to wear though. Huh, decisions decisions.
