Class of 2001! :D

Class of 2001! :D
hehe... i was a freshman when you guys graduated!
-
i'm really looking forward to this year. My class has never gotten along, we've always been seperated and have always fought and such, but now people are actually starting to grow up and put differences aside. now our class rocks, and i can NOT wait till the senior trip. We're going to a winter resort in Feb. and then we're going to Darien Lake in June for Senior Night. 8 hours alllllll to ourselves.
Anywhose, i agree with you holly, it's kind of scary knowing that i'm going to leave something i've been doing for the past 13 years, but i am so excited to go to college!
-
my class has always been kinda close! but lately i've especially been seeing it! theres this huge dance in my area called Royal Ball and a lot of the girls in my class went! we were all dancing together in a circle and everyone was getting along. i looked at everyone and i was like "wow, i'm gonna miss this!" it's hard to believe that after this year i'm not going to see most of them again.
i'm excited for my senior trip too! i'm going on Kairos either next month or in spring, they split us into 2 groups, cause they cant accomodate more than 50 girls at a time. it sucks we have to be split up, but it'll still be alot of fun!
-
Class of 2001! :D
Ugh. That was when I graduated COLLEGE.
now I feel old....
Jason! Get in here so i don't feel so old! :wink:

-
i cant believe that in 8 months i'm going to be graduated!! 8O
where did the years go?!?! just the past almost 2 months of school have gone by super fast! i'm going to be done in no time... it's pretty scary
-

so your a junior? hehe, junior year was cool! cause your an upper classman now! but i know for most schools junior year is the toughest (but for mine its senior year) so goodluck! :)
-
Thanks!..
Yeah junior year is the tough one here..
and the fact that I have no off periods this semester is pretty depressing :X
Ahh well!

i have a theory about highschool: It is one big conspiracy to suck the creative soul out of you and make you a mindless fact-spewing robot machine. I'd say Junior year almost killed me and the rest of my class. No one got along, we were all so crabby from having so much work to do. But, 11th grade ends, and then you're seniors, and really the only thing you have to worry about is what college you get in to, and making sure you don't have too bad a case of senioritis so that you don't fail. i can't wait till june.
-
yeah... most schools are cool in the fact that junior year is the hardest. Junior year was hell last year.... SO HARD!! and we didnt think it could get worse, but Senior year is 10x harder just acedemically, and then throwing all this college stuff on top is killing us. lol.. i see my friends and i going into mental breakdowns. i always thought the seniors at my school were a lil crazy, and now i understand why, all this work drives us insane.
i have never had an off period or study in all 4 years of highschool, and had 7 classes each in 9th and 10th grade, and 8 classes each in 11th and 12th grade
-
i have a really easy semester right now, but next semester is when i plan on dying. i have chemistry, chem lab, AP english, gym, effective citizenship, and economics. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but my english teacher gives us crap loads of homework to do and then with chemistry and work on top of that......*shudders*.....
-
this semester and next are pretty much gonna be the same for me except for next semester i'm taking government instead of economics, and politics and film instead of film studies. my classes are hard... well most of them. i'm taking English 4, Economics, Forensics, Religion 4, Pre-Calculus, Physics, Film Studies and Vocal Technique. i know it may not seem like alot, but trust me, it's hard!
-
physics.....pre calc......all stuff that i dropped. i admire you holly, and everyone else who has the brains to take them. it took me three days and two nights of crying over my homework to drop pre calc (we call in Math 12) :-P and forensics, that must be cool. it seems like you have really cool classes, i'm jealous! We have a few good elective courses here, like Children's Lit. (i'm taking, it's so much fun) and Astronomy (i'm pissed it won't go in to my schedule :cry:). don't worry, i'm sure you'll pass with flying colors!
-
i have to take pre cal next year, and if i pass cal my senior year...
So enjoyable.

physics is easy for me... i'm getting an A in that. but Pre Cal is a bit of a struggle, because i failed one test, i have a 79 in that class, but i did/ am doing well on everything else, so i think i can pull it up! my teacher cant teach and is italian so the accent doesnt help any! lol. and he gives soooo much homework, usually 2 hours a night, he's insane i tell you! but yeah... i have to take the class.
forensics is fun! but my teacher grades weird! like if we get 1 outta 16 problems wrong we get a D! that makes no sense to me, cause all the problems were the same dificulty and lenth! but its a really interesting class to take!
childrens lit sounds fun... what do you do in it? and i coulda taken astronomy, but i chose forensics instead!
-
holls, does he not give many grades?
79 from one test is odd, i made 80's and I failed a lot of tests in there...of course i did good on my projects, and I didn't really try hard because in honors classes your grade gets bumped 10 points in college's eyes.

in some classes it gets grade weighted... but alot of colleges dont care, lol
he's given us 4 tests.

Children's lit is sooooooo much fun. I want to be a children's author so i thought it would be a good experience, and now i realized i want to be a children's librarian. I took Children's lit. 1 last year, and that was basically learning about the different types of genres (fiction, historical fiction, fantascy, etc.) and you got to do different projects here and there. This year i'm taking Children's lit 2, and I basically get to make up my curriculum. I've taught the class about Fairytales (which is really interesting) and have had story time and such....i got to design a bulletin board too. And i found out that i can take Astronomy in college, so i'm happy now :)
-
sounds fun!! :)
-
I don't know about you , but i'm sooo excited to graduate! I can't wait to like start my own life and see how my future unfolds!!!

-

I think I might stay here for college, my best friend who is like my sister is like the number one person in my life. She wants to stay here for college, so were thinking about getting an apartment together for like 2-3 years, then I might transfer to the University I really want to go to. :D

lol, it's ok! it's hard to know which thread had been done already sometimes!
I'm soooo excited about graduating!! yesterday we had a meeting about it, about getting fitted for our cap and gowns and finding white shoes this weekend because our fittings for our dresses are next week!
my school does a different kinda graduation, we dress like this instead of the normal cap and gowns at the actual graduation:
(http://images.snapfish.com/3396932323232%7Ffp58%3Dot%3E232%3A%3D%3B9%3A%3D594%3DXROQDF%3E23234935665%3C4ot1lsi) <~ a pic from last year's graduation
and then we wear cap and gowns at baccalaureate.
I love it though... it's a tradition at my school for over 70 years to do it like that.

kindergarten! lol
Jessica and Gina, is it a NY thing to stay is school so late in june? what time did you start school? i started on august 20th, or 21st... so it was early! but us seniors get out in mid/late may for senior service
-
OMG! reading all this is so weird!
In New Zealand...we start 'primary school' at 5, that's for 8 years... then it's on to 'intermediate school' for 2 years and then to high school for 4/5 years. I'm 16 and just about ready to start my last year of school *can't wait*
Our school year goes from end of Jan (Jan 27th we start this year) and goes in 10 week slots with 2 weeks in between every 10, if you get what I mean...so by the time our summer break comes around it's usually early november to mid december depending on whether you are a senior and have end of year exams or whether you're just a plain ol' junior :)
We also have MUCH different course choices, last year I took Math, English, Home Economics (cooking), Geography, Music and Science (last year Math, English and Science we compulsory) and this year I'm taking Math, English, Catering and hospitality, Music, Child care and Computer applications. (only English is compulsory this year)
so...I could go on to do another year of school ('7th form') but I decided not to, many people don't do it because it's just a year to get all your stuff for Uni...and if you don't want to go to Uni because you have other plans or other education things (courses etc.) planned out then 7th form is just a waste of a year.
Even if you go to 6th or 7th form (legally you can drop out as soon as you turn 16) we still don't have a graduation ceremony. All it is is you get your exam results back after christmas and that's that. If you want to get together a group of friends and go out and party then that's your choice but...otherwise, no fancy graduation things here. But for 5th, 6th and 7th form (at my school) you get to go to the 'ball' (dance) if you like....

same as holly, kindergarten.
I started school on Sept. 3rd, and i think Gina started on the 4th. I don't know about Gina, but i'm not in school until the 26th. We have state wide tests you have to take for certain courses, called Regents. My school gets one week off for Regents, so technically school ends for me around the 16th of June. But that's only for the highschool, all of the other schools are until the 26th.
-
We started August 21st... for the seniors our last real day of school is May 16th, then we have senior exams from the 19th-21st, then we come back to school on the 22nd, but we don't really do anything, just come back for the Farewell Mass. Then we do senior service for a week where we do things like babysit kids at court houses, or do habitat for humanity. Then we get the next week off, have baccalaureate on June 5th, graduation on June 6th, and then we're done!! :D
The freshman, sophmores and juniors have to be in school till June 9th tho.

lucky! i have no regents this semester though, so i get a week off. i'm not looking forward to the chem regents :oops:
-
Regents? They sound like our finals! are they the same thing? Just big tests you take covering everything you were taught that semester?
I have finals in 8 days! Physics and Forensic Science on the 20th; Pre-Cal, English, and Film Studies on the 21st; and economics and religion on the 22nd... not looking forward to them at all!! I'm mostly scared for Pre-Cal!
-
Theyre state tests though, like you have to pass them to graduate (atleast with a regents diploma) which is what like all colleges in NYS look for.
-
ermm they're kind of the same. But they aren't made by the teacher, they're made by the people at the Regents board....or something like that :-P
-

right. Colleges in NY generally don't care what grade you get on them, just as long as you pass.

oh! I see! cool!
I heard they're thinking of doing that in California!

they're cool depending on which subject you're taking them in. I have to take the chemistry one, which i think only 40% of people in my school have passed on their first try, which sucks becuase if i don't pass on the first try i don't graduate. But ones like the English and Earth Science ones are eeeaaaassy
-
I was class of 2002 :) Good times indeed... can't believe it's almost been 2 years!

No fair!!
My school was going to get rid of senior exams second semester, because they're pointless! By that point you know what college you're going to, so what does it matter what your grades are? But my religion teacher is pshyco and he fought to keep them... grrr...
-
I can't wait to get it over with. We graduate may something.. I might be the only person that doesn't know. I am scared though, I guess it's because I don't exactly know where I am going after this.
our modo is 2004 like none before.. weeeee
-
I would have been '99 had i not tested out early... you know... "we're gonna party like it's nineteen ninety nine" - gotta love prince :)

I know how you feel... I'm scared too, but don't worry! Most people don't know where they're going next year! I don't! I know it'll be one of 5 places... but that could be in San Francisco, Miami, San Diego, or I'll just stay here! It's weird to think that in 7 or 8 months I'm probably not going to be living at home anymore.
I had the weidest dream about going off the college last night, lol! I was with a bunch of my friends on a senior trip in Washington, and people were leaving to go to college from there.... and for some reason Britney Spears was in my class and the cast of 7th Heaven was the family of someone else... crazy!
-
I don't have cool dreams. That sucks.
I just want to go places with my pictures and my words. But I am also prepared to become a teacher and ... 'teach'.
-
Today we did out senior songs (where we change the lyrics to songs). They’re cute!
To the tune of “California” by Phantom Planet
"On the road we go, going with the flow. Nothing's gonna stop us now. Graduation here we come, leaving where we started from. Pedal to the floor, thinkin' what's in store for the class of '04. Real World here we come, we are ready for some fun!"
To the tune of “All That Jazz” from Chicago
“Hold on Hon we got 5 more months. I got an star bucks drink with an espresso shot. So I can stay awake, at least until spring break and pass my…. CLAAAASSSS”
We also did “Hey Ya” and “Leaving on a Jet Plane” but those 2 are my faves!
-
Class of 98.......bollox :(
-
So... this graduation thing is becoming more and more real with each day. We got our senior shirts the other day... and I got my acceptance from my first choice school :D yay!

87 days till I graduate!! :D

-
I got my graduation dress yesterday and they made it too big!!
So I had to take it to the tailors and they're going to bring the sides in about 1 and a half inches on each side! It's nice and long tho... So I can wear 2 inch heals and you still wont see my shoes... i like long dresses!
The dress is pure white and has chiffon sleaves that are about 4 inches wide and just cuff over my shoulder. The bottom of the dress is a lil puffy, but it's still very slim! And we're wearing long white gloves that go above the elbow! We're all wearing the exact same thing, so it should be very elegant!
When I took it to the tailors the people were like "Omg, beautiful dress, when are you getting married?!" it does kinda look like a wedding dress! haha
I'm SO excited!!
32 days until graduation and only :D 6 of them will be spent in school!
-
A month and 20 days til graduation :wink:
aw Holls, sounds pretttty!
-
27 days of school left! *is so excited*

I am SO excited for gradnight! But I'm going to be soooo tired, cause I have finals on the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th... and I get tired walking around disneyland during the day, so I can only imagine how i'll be in the middle of the night! 12:00am till 6:00am! Do they have starbucks there? haha.

Holly! Grad night is Thursday! ahh!
-
Grad Night tonight! haha I'm weird lol
omg my friend just totally freaked the crap out of me! I almost thought I couldn't go tonight! She just called me during lunch & asked why I wasn't at school & was like "don't freak out, but..." & said I might not be able to go to grad night because I didn't go to school today. (I was too exhausted & needed to get caught up on homework) A couple of our friends heard that if you didn't go to school the day of grad night you wouldn't get to go but they talked to I know who the person is I just forget what he is... one of the admins, assistant principle maybe I dunno but he said I'm fine. So phew! I was like freakin out lol
Oh I can't wait until tonight!!! Disneyland is gonna rock!

so yeah... these are my feelings about graduating.... :D :) :( :o 8O :? 8) :lol: :x :razz: :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink:

awww... we have to sing this to our parents at baccalaureatte!
there's going to be a lot of :cry:
I'll Remember
Madonna
Say good bye
Not knowing when
The truth in my whole life began
Say goodbye
Not knowing how to cry
You taught me that
And I'll remember
The strength that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you saved me
I'll remember
Inside I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing
And I'll remember
The love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you changed me
I'll remember
I learen
To let go
Of all the illusion
That we can posess
I learned to let go
I travel in stillness
I'll remember happiness
I'll remember
And I'll remember
The love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you changed me
I'll remember
Now I'll never be afraid to cry
Now I finally have the reason why
I'll remember
*tear* isnt that sweet?

I'm done!!! Graduation was yesterday!! :D
It was a beautiful ceremony and went really well!
here's pics, but the first 2 are actually from baccalaureate, but i thought since they're in cap and gown it was more appropriate for this thread.

I love all the traditions you have! The white graduation dresses are really pretty! The red rose tradition is cool too.
-
congrats holly! :-D
6 more school days left :-X
-
:D Holly you looked so beautiful! I love ur hair! So pretty! Congrats! i cant wait till my grad...3 more years!!! lol
-
thanks everyone! :D
and yes Rosie, we do have a lot of traditions with red roses... not only are they important at graduation (they're the center of the ceremony pretty much, our whole comencement talk was about the meaning of them). But also we always give our mom one at baccalaureate and we get one at the ceremony to say goodbye and thank you to seniors. Our colors are red and white because of the red roses and the white dresses. [/b]

hey holly, did you ever decide on what college you want to go to??
-
Beautiful Holls! Congrats!
My last day of highschool is tomorrow! *sigh*
I'm excited, yet sad.

today was my last day of highschool ever... so sad, I cried multiple times! Wow, never knew how hard that would actually be...
-
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
today was my last day of highschool ever... so sad, I cried multiple times! Wow, never knew how hard that would actually be...
Awww Gina I know how you feel I was like that on my last day of school, though it may not be quite the same! *big hug* I never knew how hard it would be for me either, but u will ALWAYS have the memories.xoxo
-
you know what's weird? maybe it hasnt hit me yet, but i graduated a week ago and I havent cried that much. I guess maybe it's cause I havent gone more than 2 days without randomly running into someone from my class (besides me close friends who I see all the time anyways). I guess we just all shop/hang out in the same places so I'll still see them!
The people I DO miss though are my teachers (but i'm going to visit, so they can't think they got rid of me that easy, haha). Actually my principle is coming to my graduation party tonight! haha, I invited a nun to my party, but she's a cool nun. When we finished graduation we all went into a big room and stood in a circle and all the teachers came around and said goodbye, ok, I cried then. And I'll also miss the girls who were residents at my school. The girls who went home this week and I may never see again. One really close friend went to Saudi Arabia, one to Thailand and a few to Japan. I have a standing invitation to stay with their family in Tokyo, but who knows when that will be? That's expensive! And it's not safe to go to and from Saudi, so I can't go there... So yeah, I'm scared I'll never see them again! That makes me cry! :cry:
-
today i started crying in choir! my last day isn't until tuesday but when we were singing the senior song all of the girls started crying and when other people cry i always cry so we were all crying and just one big blubbering mess :cry: :razz: i don't even want to think what tuesday is going to be like....:-X
-
haha Jessica that sounds like us on Thursday in Choir, lol but we weren't singing, our teacher just started crying then we started crying & gave her a hug, it was so sad when she cried :cry:
I've been wanting to cry ever since.
I can't believe graduation is Friday! I know I'm gonna cry Monday & Tuesday, everyone has been crying at my school lately... ahh dangit Senior year went by too fast :cry:
Holly how in the world did you get through your graduation week?! Cuz I know I'm barely gonna get through it.
-
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
today was my last day of highschool ever... so sad, I cried multiple times! Wow, never knew how hard that would actually be...
Aww, Gina! Just think, everyone is going through the same thing now & is going to do it someday & you can always go back & visit! I know I will after I've started classes in the Fall at the college I'm going to since my college is only 20 minutes away from my highschool, haha
Are you going to college?
-
My middle school graduation is in about 2 weeks...okay so I know this may sound really stupid, but what is a 14 year old guy suppposed ot wear to his graduation? It's gonna be at the Greek Theatre I think..
-
I forget what I wore to my graduation in Middle School, haha sorry. That was such a long time ago, omg lol.
-
im gonna miss the seniors SO much.
-
im gonna miss the seniors SO much.
I can really remember thinking that too Sam... and I did miss them. When you finally become the senior, you don't give a crap like you thought you would when you were a freshman for some reason.
-
Laura, I got through my graduation week suprisingly well... Yeah, I miss my friends, but the week wasnt that hard... it hasnt really hit me that i'm not going to see most of them anymore. Especially my international friends who moved to the other side of the world.
And for my middle school graduation I wore a red handkerchief print dress! I remember that! haha. But my school was weird and we all graduated at our own speed and I was the only graduate that week, so it's like the whole school was there watching me give a speech! scary stuff!

yep, I am... 4 hours from home.
-
I leave for college orientation today!
it isnt until tomorrow morning, but it's a 5-6 hours away so we have to leave and are staying at a hotel tonight. I just have to take placement tests, get registered for classes (which luckily this is the first registration period so I have more of a chance of getting in the classes I want), and spend the night in the dorms tuesday night, which will be cool so I can get used to them and think of things I need to bring when I move in.

i graduate on thursday!

Yeah. I've been in such different moods lately. I've been like so emotional omg. I never thought the last week would be so hard! Esp. when I have like a million other things going on like finals, Choir etc. it's crazy!
-
this is the last time i'll check my email and the board in between bells!!! :cry: i haven't cried yet all day but i almost did during choir while we were singing the senior song.....blah....
-
omg I said bye to my freshman English/10th grade Mythology teacher just awhile ago at lunch! that was like the hardest goodbye ever. I gave her like three hugs lol. She's like "I told you guys, freshman year that these years are gonna fly by" or something I was like "omg I remember that" & she was right. Then she's like "I watched you guys grow up over the past four years." And I wanted to cry lol
I never realized how much I'd miss her. She said if I'm gonna be here tomorrow to come back & say bye before we leave, so since I'm getting my Drama & Choir teacher a little thank you present I decided to get her one to.
I'm so gonna cry tonight when I see all the Choir people at our performance, it's our last one together :cry:
-
I'm sorry all of you...
good luck to all of you next year, you guys made it though. 4 years, your done, you've successfully finished high school.
Now your on another journey. (wherever that is for you....:D)
Seeing all of our seniors go, is sad...especially since because my sister is one, Class of 2004. I also have like 6-7 cousins all graduating on Thursday....So its gonna be a long week!
My sister and I are very close and I'm going to miss seeing her around...even though I dont see her much at school :? , there were times when I did.
Its just weird, knowing that she wont be there anymore with me. :cry:
*sniff*
Good Luck to all of you! Congratulations!
-
so its all over today....bleh. i almost cried one more time after school, but i didn't. the seniors threw water balloons and toilet paper all over the parking lot and at all the underclassmen coming out of the building....
so now it's just graduation on the 26th!
-
So I guess today was my last day to say goodbye to everyone. Except of course to all of my teachers that are gonna be there at graduation!
I'm getting my pictures developed today & I'm gonna get that disk thing so I can post them up here & show you guys if you wanna see them!
I've only cried once today after Choir when walking with my friend to Drama cuz she was all sad but I'm surprisingly handling it really well!
-
We had graduation practice today. It went well :)
Our principle is really nice. We've gotten so many new ones & this one is very cool. I ended up being in his row for when teachers or whoever were directing us where to go.
And we had our Senior breakfast also. So that was really cool to see all the Seniors again.
Oh & the cow costumes... lmao I should have taken a picture :lol:
-
Okay I have a few pics to post. Sorry if they are a little big or whatever. And thanks to Daniel (highwaycruiser99) for helping me out once again :)
Here's me & my Choir teacher. If you see her in the next picture with the whole class she looks like a student, haha. She's only 24. An awesome teacher tho! I'll see her tomorrow at graduation.
(http://img59.photobucket.com/albums/v181/PlaneCrashDaniel/Laura/ChoirteacherandI-75.jpg)
This is my Choir class. We got really close this semester as you could probably tell from the pic. They are awesome. Sorry everyones kind of hard to see. My teacher is the one on the far right in the purpleish shirt with the black pants on, I'm the one next to her in the blue shirt & jeans.
(http://img59.photobucket.com/albums/v181/PlaneCrashDaniel/Laura/Choir_class.jpg)
Oh & this is my infamous cute P.E. teacher I always talked about! hahaha I've been in his class all four years of highschool. He's the best & probably nicest P.E. teacher you'll ever meet!
(http://img59.photobucket.com/albums/v181/PlaneCrashDaniel/Laura/MrRossiandI60.jpg)
And this is my Drama teacher I know I've mentioned a lot to you guys. I absolutely love her! she is the best teacher ever. I'll see her tomorrow also! I've been in her class all four years! And btw that is the thank you card I got her & my Senior pic. that she has with her lol
(http://img59.photobucket.com/albums/v181/PlaneCrashDaniel/Laura/DramateacherandI60.jpg)
And last but certainly not least. Me & my friend Kayla before our last Choir performance that was on Tuesday. I may look a little weird, my friend that was taking the pic. kept making me laugh haha
(http://img59.photobucket.com/albums/v181/PlaneCrashDaniel/Laura/KaylaandI60.jpg)

Great pics Laura! Your teachers all look really nice and your choir class looks awesome!! :)
-
Thanks Tia! :D
Yeah my teachers have been really cool. And I can always go back & visit next year & see all the Choir/Drama performances so thats always good to know. :)
I can't wait till graduation! I'm like dying to see all of my friends right now lol I hate sitting at home waiting! We have grad night tonight from 10 p.m. till 5 in the morning at school so that should be fun! We get free cameras also so I'll try to take pics for you guys to see if you want. And I'll try to get some of graduation to.
-
Cool pictures Laura!!
I cannot wait to go to college! I'm in love with it! It's the perfect school for me! I want summer to be over so I can go up there.
I'm already planning on how to decorate my dorm room (we're even allowed to paint to walls). I want it to be these colors! And I have my schedule all set. Yay!
Yep, I don't miss highschool at all...
edit: had to fix the color codes
-
Holly that's awesome! i love the color scheme! that's so cool that you're allowed to paint the walls! at the college i'm going to the colors are purple and gold and there's purple carpet in all the rooms, so i have to kinda stick with that theme :-P but maybe i'll spice it up with some brighter colors like you are!
-
I graduated highschool!!!
Now it's back to school for Grad Night! haha
Oh I saw a lot of my teachers before graduation started when we had to go to our certain classrooms & my Science teacher came in the room I was in & she's like "where's Laura??" & I saw her & gave her a hug, hehe that was cool :)
I'll tell you all the other cool stuff that happened tomorrow, like letting mice out, etc. etc. :P
-
Congrats Laura!! :D

Yeah! Purple looks great with bright colors (as long as it's a bright, true purple). You can go along with the reds, oranges and yellow, or it goes well with greens and blues! atleast it's a color you can work with well! :)
We just have white walls, white linoleum floors and wooden furniture. So I need bright colors, haha. It’s boring! I want my bed to have like mismatched pillows, sheets, blankets of red, orange, yellow and purple, and then I’m going to paint one wall red. And a carpet too! Bright colors put me in a better mood, and I’ll need that when college stress and homesickness sets in.
*is excited* I get my roomate’s name and number in a couple weeks, so then we can work this all out, I hope she’s a bright color person as well.
-
lol i was just going to ask whether you have a roomate or not :-P cuz my sister went shopping for college stuff before she met her roomate and it worked out really well that their color schemes happened to match.
the purple is kind of hard to explain - it's like a dull, faded, lavender/purple. not royal purple, but not quite as light as lavender. So i was thinking that like a creme/off white would go nice with it, and shades of peach. sage and sky blue would be good too.

oh yeah! those colors will work well!
yeah, they let us talk to our roomate first so we can get to know eachother and work out what we're bringing. like we dont want 2 tvs or 2 refridgerators, so we'll each bring something.
-
at the college i'm going to there are three different summer registrations and if you meet someone you want to room with there, you can request to room with each other...so i'm hoping that i'll meet someone to be roomates with there so i don't get paired up with someone i won't get along with!

yea, we had three sessions too, I went to the first one. I met a ton of people, but everyone I met either a) requested a different dorm than me, b) is in some special community or c) is a guy. the dorm i requested is coed, but not coed rooms, haha. but if i end up not liking my roomate than I can always switch in the first couple weeks.
-
Thanks Holly!
Oh yeah & about the mice. As the Senior prank (which they did last year) at graduation the Seniors let mice out & one came like half way running down my row I totally freaked haha. A teacher caught them tho it was so funny we all turned around. And some people let balloons go in the middle of peoples speeches... good times lol.
I got my diploma & everything so that was cool.
Grad Night was SO much fun! I used up my whole camera so I have lots of pics. I'll post some later. We had a hypnotise to, that was so cool, I've always wanted to see a live performance like that! It was so funny.
-
hey all i haven't been on here in forever!!!
just wanted to say congrats on graduating! it's wonderful isn't it. I don't miss high school at all, i can't wait to start college in the fall. I signed up to live in a suit w/ 4-6 girls. I'm pumped since i'm such a people person.
I had my graduation party on sat and it was a lot of fun. I hope you all have a great summer.
oh and holls that's so cool that you guys can paint your walls i've never heard of a college letting you do that!!! and i like the colors you picked out too :wink:
-

Congrats Beth and Kels!!!
Yeah, i had my orientation last week, it was awesome! I love my school! I can't wait to start in the fall!!
My school is the first one i've heard of to let us paint our walls too, my mom heard first and told me and i was like "Are you serious?! cool!"
-
I don't miss high school at all
I do. lol I don't want to admit it, but I really do. I just miss all my friends & teachers I've gotten to know really well. It sucks that you get to know everyone for four years, or even just a year then have to leave & never see some of them again :cry:
I started college today so I'm a little overwhelmed. You guys will miss highschool to once you actually start classes, trust me lol.
Congrats to you guys that just graduated! It is a great feeling to know you graduated highschool! :)
I had my orientation for college a few weeks before I graduated highschool. I'm thinking of transfering after two years, but I'm not sure what I want to do yet.
What about you guys?
-
congrats guys!:)
My graduation is this Friday *sigh*
-
Congrats Gina, I hope you have a blast :D
I dunno about you guys, but i feel like everyone is going to orientation, Mine isnt' till August. I have to be there the 21st and it last till the 24th, when the other students arrive. I guess you are put into groups and do all these corny activities, but i've heard even though they're corny they are a lot of fun.
Well as to what i'm going into, I'm going into MUSIC! acutally music ministry, I'm so excited, I can't wait for college!
-
awesome beth! lol i know what you mean about orientation - i don't leave till september second, and classes don't start till the sixth!
-
Dang I had my orientation before I graduated highschool lol but maybe because I'm just going to a community college & they don't have dorms & stuff.
And I decided that I am going to do Drama. Yup. I just can't help it lol. Since I've been in this Intro. to film class for a couple of days I got excited about Drama even tho I was relieved to be done with it in highschool haha I'm a dork.
The teacher I have for Intro. to film teaches Intro. to theater she just said today so I'm guessing that means she is the Drama teacher hah.
-
sounds exciting.

I'm the only one of my friends here who has gone to an orientation, none of their schools seem to do it. you just register and show up to classes. I have to leave on August 19th, cause move in day is the 20th! But we have 3 or 4 days to get settled until classes start, which is good. My mom, dad, Mike (family friend aka guy who took me to prom), and his mom are all coming to help me!
And yeah... at our orientation they broke us up into color goups (i was in the yellow) and made us play annoying games, but they actually helped break the ice! Like at lunch the first day we had to talk to 1 or 2 other people, and then tell the whole group about them at the end of lunch. We also played this crazy game called bonk. We also went to tons of talks and meetings about the school and the programs we're in.
I'm going into music business! So I'm excited too!!! :D
-
I'm going into music business!
Oooooooooh...sounds interesting!

thanks! yeah, i'm really excited about it!
i'll be getting a regular business degree and have to take all the necessary classes, but my college has a program where i can concentrate in music and the arts and take extra classes in them to get the special degree. Like next semester i'm taking a course called the history of the music business in US society! :D
