The summer after your Senior year of high school is just weird. You are trying to spend as much time with your friends as possible, even people you aren't super close to. You feel you may need to see them one last time. So you comment on their Insta post or text them with lunch plans that may never happen but it's the thought that counts. Your true friends though you try to see all the time, everyday if possible. Since the summer after your Senior year is so busy with sports team tryouts, shopping for essentials, college orientation, looking for jobs, and other things that will help you begin this next chapter of your life smoothly you may not get to see them as much as you had hoped. Those times you do hang out though cherish them, every second of them. They are so important because at the end of the summer you begin to realize it may be six months before I see this person again and you really start to think about how hard it is going to be without them. This thought will probably be in the back of your mind for the last part of Senior year and the whole summer but it's those last few weeks that it is a thought you dwell on.... A LOT!
Back to how weird it is though. Like you have spent your whole life going through the same routine every year. Different vacations and different groups of friends but the basics have stayed the same. About August you begin to hear back to school commercials that you say are playing entirely too soon (like I have four weeks left let me enjoy them stress free), you get some new clothes, a new pair of sandals, some cute new running shoes, then you shop for school supplies. You try and find a good backpack that will last while still looking fabulous, cute pens, some folders, a great new purse because you can never have to many. Anyways you get the point. But the summer after your Senior year it's different you aren't just shopping for clothes but stuff for a dorm and big text books that you know are going to be a pain to carry around. You start to pick out bedding for a small dorm bed. You message your roommates and hope they are as cool as you. The vibe of the whole summer is just different than any before but if you play your cards right it can also be the best one yet.
