One thing that I will never forget is how fast senior year has gone, and how fast life in general goes. I feel like if I close my eyes for a second, thirty years will have passed and I will be married, have kids, a horrible job, be another corporate drone, regretting that day that I closed my eyes and let thirty years go by wasted. I still feel like this should be the second six weeks of my senior year, not the last four weeks. But time goes by fast and there is no way to slow its progression; you just have to learn to live fast and enjoy what you can.
My senior year has been a very good one. My best friend Jared and I have had more great adventures than I can ever hope to put down onto paper, such as the time we set off firecrackers and threw them at each other, or the time we played a free-for-all game of lasertag, but decided to team up against the onslaught of 10 year olds that attempted to take our imaginary lives.
I have also had great times with my girlfriend of nearly three years, Sydney Oropeza. Between our countless dates to Chili’s and the movies and our matches of the fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us, I feel like I have known her for a lifetime. My favorite memory is the urban picnic we had. We went to the top of a parking garage in the Woodlands, set up a blanket, ate our cheep Chinese food and looked at the people who never looked up from their own busy lives. My senior year has been a rollercoaster of entropy, but I would never change any of it.
At Last, Senior Year
