School's coming to a close: the countdown has begun, finals are imminent, and there's graduation parties galore! For seniors, there's something more.

You feel empty, yet fulfilled at the same time--you're leaving all you've known, and starting anew. Saying "goodbye" has never seemed so hard, but my friend, your journey has just begun.

This goes out to all you seniors--high school and college--I wish you luck in whatever you pursue!

I find my quick little poem fitting for the girls depicted above--I have yet to watch the 2nd season of the adorable anime, but if I'm correct, the main members of K-ON! are approaching their final years in high school.

High school can be tough, believe me. There's times where you want to throw your face into a wall--wanting to give up on it all [NO THANK YOU!]. There's not only stress from tests and extracurricular activities, but there's also pressure from peers--not knowing what's right and what's wrong. Even though you got a bad grade on a math test, or you didn't quite make that basket, regardless, you still have your friends. Some of them may turn on you, but then think back...where they really true? Paths are not predetermined--you have to make smart choices, and stay with those you trust--even if you don't fit in. There's nothing worse than falling into an endless spiral of drama [secret]. All-in-all, high school's a mixture of good and bad--just find out who your friends are.

I experimented with several filter features, including one I've never used before: blur! Do you think the buildings blend well behind the girls? (I NEED TO KNOW. NOW.)
