Good riddance
I've always loved the song Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) from Green Day. It's exactly how I felt at the end of high school, the end of my undergrad days. At the end of high school, I remember thinking, "Good riddance. I'm so ready to blow this joint." It's not like I hated it there; I had a lot of good times, but not enough to keep me there. I had a great time at MUIC too, but again, nothing that would tie me there forever. The other day I got an invite to an MUIC reunion and I thought, "Yeah, right." I miss MUIC, true, but for silly things - like how I felt as I stood on the fourth floor during a rainstorm and looked down and thought, "This is one of the most beautiful, melancholy moments of my life." Or the high I got scribbling on a horribly misspelled sign, "Spell check!" Or having lunch with the love of my life, listening to him go on and on about nothing. Does that happen to everyone who's in love? Can you tolerate stuff from your loved one that you would flay others for? Coz he used to say some pathetically silly things and I would just laugh and I'm someone who will nonverbally signal my boredom to others. Maybe because I liked the sound of his voice. Everything he said was like poetry to me. Anyhow, good riddance to bad rubbish. I had the time of my life and I'm going to continue having the time of my life.
Final thought: Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), Green Day
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

it's time for you to let go. To have loved is already a bless. Sometime, we're scared of letting go. the feeling that you scare of might not having that feeling again. But, it's not encouraging to feel for the one who doesn't appreciate you.

Hah, that was my class song actually. I agree, I'm glad to be out of high school. Life doesn't start until you graduate..but, school was much easier.
