Friday 26th May 2017 was a momentous occasion and one that held very mixed emotions - my last ever day of school. While I am excited for what this summer and the first year of University is going to bring, I can't help feeling sad for leaving high school behind after seven years, for going separate ways with all of the people I love so much and losing the routine of school that has been a constant in my life for 14 years.
Our leavers day was a complete mix of emotion - from our final lesson (which was History, and where we literally just ate cake), to our leavers assembly and leavers mass, which ended with feelings of nostalgia and sadness at what we were leaving behind. Then onto celebrations, which started at around 1pm with our whole year joining together for drinks, barbecues, ice cream and football in the nearby park (thank you English weather for giving us such a glorious Friday!), followed by a quick head home and change then a re-gathering of everyone for what can only be described as the best night out all year. Although I'm only just recovering from the hangover, it was amazing to spend the last day and night while our whole year and all of my favourite people.
Now, with exams looming, everyone is looking forward to many more nights out together this summer, and our prom, before heading our separate ways in September. Let A Levels commence! My thoughts and prayers are with everyone also struggling through the stress this difficult exam season.
