As I looked at some of the pictures, read some of the statuses, and watched some of the videos, I realized how much I absolutely miss it. I really do. It's probably the only thing about high school that I miss. I miss practicing for 8 hours in the hot sun. I miss running Quail. I miss marching in blizzards. I miss DF yelling at us from the ladder. I miss the long bus rides. I miss the thrill of a "perfect" show. I miss memorizing my music. I miss doing stupid skits. I miss listening to Dr. Fullmer's wise words. I miss spending 40 hours in the band room making pep band folders. I miss being called Flut. I miss hearing "1st place Timpview High School". I miss making fun of ROTing. I miss ROTing. I miss call times and show times. I miss pep band. I miss band council. I miss the band room. I miss the music library. I miss the DM room. I miss eating lucky charm's in the DM room after tour. I miss DF's office at lunch time. I miss presidency romance. I miss playing in an awesome concert and then going to Wendy's after. I miss sitting on the front row and hearing DF's jokes. I miss giving him a hard time. I miss being a secretary with my favorite secretary. I even miss the curtain. But most of all I miss the amazing quantity and quality of friends I had in band. As cheesy as it sounds we were a family. And. I. Miss. It.
A couple of weeks ago, some girls in my ward and I were complaining about how much longer we have until we graduate. Another girl who is graduated said "Enjoy it. There are a lot of things I miss about being in school." I've really been thinking about what she said. I wished high school away. All through high school I couldn't wait to graduate and then my senior year came along and I was having the time of my life and I didn't want to graduate. I don't want to do the same thing with college. I've really been trying hard to really enjoy it. I was thinking about it the other day as I was walking across campus and I thought "I really am going to miss this campus!" And as think about more and more, I love learning and I love what I'm learning right now. I am so blessed. I get to study nursing at BYU!! I am so in love with my life right now!
I knew I would miss it. I never knew I would miss it this much though. I guess it just goes to show you that you have to love your life now. Live life to fullest. Enjoy what you have cause once it's gone you'll probably miss it.
Wow this is really cool.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the only thing that I have ever missed about high school is a cappella--so I kind of understand where you are coming from {except I think band required a lot more time than a cappella did}. Second of all, I never even thought about how I might miss being on BYU campus one day. It really is a beautiful campus and now that you mention it, I think I'm going to miss it someday too.
I miss it all too! thanks for reminding the good ol days.
ReplyDeleteI know! I totally miss all of that too! I was thinking about it the other day and I was like "wow, I have like no friends now." It was great to know you had those 150 friends :) Oh the fun times we had :)
