Last day of high school, finally! Graduations tonight and then it's all over. "I'm so done with this place" I whispered under my breath while walking into the graduation venue. It's been the same routine for the past four years, and im so tired of it. From the heat of the desert, to the rude people evading the halls of high school, I just can't wait to get far from here.

I drop the box that once resided in my hands, and began to work. I grabbed my Ramones, led Zepplin, and Grateful dead posters, knowing I couldn't live without them.
