Lessons Learnt

I am halfway through my last year of school......and I love it. its not just my educational institute that pleases me theres more to it. All those lessons you are meant to learn....and the laughter.

The last one month has been awesome. Busy but tons of fun- Sports and all the hard work and then Dramatics....all the running around ad finally winning!! Not to mention the hatrick in the play!!

And the laughter.

But I would be lying if I said that it has been all laughter. I know there have been a lot of tears.

At the start of the year I knew what i wanted when I left school-wonderful memories of the twelfth standard,my last year at school.And I have got it.Not because only amazing things have been happening but because that's the way I want it.

I have tons of friends, I guess you could say I am social but I am crazy deranged about some of them. The ones who live in my house almost all the time,the ones who are scared of my mommy,the ones who taught me the lessons I have learnt,the ones who defined and redefined friendship for me.....you know who you are ...I don't need to tell you...It goes deeper than that....You are the people I care about, the ones I respect and tell everything.

Yes I know some of you are thinking "Shes talking like they are perfect, she needs to learn that no body's perfect". Your right nobody is perfect but these fools are perfect....for me.

They do have their flaws...one of them being that they care too much about everyone else....yes, they do take saving the world into their own hands...I love them for it...but remember the tears I was talking about....this is where they come in......I have learnt lessons this year...this month....lessons that have shattered, reinforced and sometimes even completely altered my perspective on life.

I have learnt that you cannot please everyone.
I have learnt that true friends are harder to find then the proverbial needle in the haystack.
I have learnt that friendship does not mean the same thing to everybody.
I have learnt that five great friends are 1000.22 times better than 30 fun-friends.
I have learnt to work hard in what i believe in.
I have learnt to believe in honesty and my friends.
I have learnt to know what and who is important and give them priority.
I have learnt to love.
I have learnt to live.
I have grown up.

They may not seem like life's lessons but I believe they are lessons worth learning. I have the best things in life and they are not material. They took time to make, seconds to break but when I fixed them it was worth every bit of effort cause now they are better than ever.

Nostalgia....

I am in my last year of school....everything I do seems to be surrounded by an unfamiliar sense of nostalgia. Expected but unfamiliar.....and I am not good with unfamiliar.There is the sense of looking deeper into everything that I do....things I took for granted for so many years... they will never be there again. Fun, fights, classes, trouble, laughter, tears, fights , rebellion, laughter......I'm probably never gonna have any of it again...not this way.A reason to mourn....the end of two of the greatest years of my life.....And yet tears aren't the things that rise....its laughter....and joy. For all those moments we lived to the fullest.....I have a fondness......even the fights...there were tons of them...have taught me so much....I know i have lived my last to years to the fullest and i am proud of it!!!

School has always been great.....but the last two years have been beyond description......I went through a volley of emotions and feelings and have gone through what i consider a complete education.....I've learnt much more here, not just commerce and maths( I've learnt very little of that)..... I've learnt how to make new friends, keep old ones, learnt new skills, rediscovered old ones.....all those things that text books cannot teach you....those faraway things "only life was going to teach you"....well maybe this is what it is.....

I owe a lot of this to "THE GANG"....my constant companions, friends and at moments enemies even......Everyone of you played a part in my incredible memories of the last two years...We have had fun and amazing memories......laughter and good times is what I will remember....leaving school I have nothing to cry about....only reasons to smile....and its all thanks to you guys!!! Love you guys loadz!!!!
