[I'm still in highschool]

That day of graduation, were you happy? were you sad?

For some reason during class friday while i was zoning out i got a depressing thought
While sitting there i was thinking about where i will be in 5 years and how that very moment, that very instance will be nothing, gone.

I've thought about this before but for some reason it hit me harder this time

99% People around me il never see again after graduation day (well you can't say for sure) and highschool is a 1 time thing

I may dislike school work but i enjoy the environment

Anyways the main question:
the day of graduation, were you happy? were you sad? What was it like?
