Graduation Thoughts
“We ARE rich,” said Anne staunchly. “Why, we have sixteen years to our credit, and we’re happy as queens, and we’ve all got imaginations, more or less. Look at that sea, girls—all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen.”
Let me tell you something. This quote is everything. Never have I felt something that so perfectly mirrors what I feel about looking back on high school.
High school has been hard but it’s like any time period of your life. You take it: for the good and the bad.
If I had any regrets in my high school experience, it would probably be the very thing that this quote seems to express.
I wish I had spent less Monday’s wishing it were Friday. I wish it didn’t take me this long to figure out that I’m happy as a queen.
But better now then never. But I guess that’s just how life works. Especially when you have eighteen years to your credit. You finally realize how rich you are. And knowing this makes facing the uncertain future all the easier.

Things I, as a bookworm, am upset about
Sequels coming out too far apart that I’ve completely forgotten what’s happened in the first book. Sorry. I’ve moved on.
Those stickers on the back of books that don’t peel away cleanly.
When there’s no plot summary on the back of the book and it’s just reviews
Dog-earing pages??? Like why would you???
That time the library of Alexandria got burned down.
That annoying eye skip thing I do when I’m reading and I’m excited and my eyes just skip to the dialogue and I feel like I’m spoiling stuff for myself.
That point of view switch thing happens at the most inconvenient time.
Weird smelling books. (Books can hold smells. Once I opened one from the library and it smelled like cigarette smoke. Books are supposed to smell like heaven and knowledge.)
Books aren’t waterproof for some reason???? Like, what if I wanna read it in a bubble bath or shower? Or maybe I just wanna protect it from my tears…
Sequels coming out with a different cover design, size, etc.
Or, a good book with a bad cover design.
Reading a really good book and loving it but knowing in the back of your head you’ll have to find one just as good if not better in the future and that will lead to overall discouragement and kick me into a reading slump and notice how “you” and turned into “me” because in reality I am very much talking about myself cause I do this all the time ya feel me?
