Next Time
Several times today, I've heard or been told to do something different "next time." Its a decent philosophy to follow for things like free throws and chinese food, but it doesn't really apply to things that matter. As much as I want one, I won't get a second chance at high school. I won't be able to change my past, even though I have in my mind exactly everything I would have done differently. I can't change the words I've said and regretted saying, I can't change the friendships I've messed up, I can't allocate the past seventeen and a half years of my life differently, and I sure can't change the addictive decisions I've made in the past. Why do they say "next time" when the last has already come?

Sehr poetisch.
College is that second try.
BTW, where are you going?
High school is fun and valuable, but becomes nothing more than nostalgia later (As I am sure college will).
At least in college you are working towards a more concretized future.
