Pretty much just writing what I'm thinking without organizing so bear with the messiness.

So I just finished the national graduation exam in my country this morning. The results still need to be graded and stuff and the diploma needs to be handed, but as long as I get above 1, I'll graduate. Which means, effectively, I'm done with any studies relating to high school.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal. Seeing how everyone has, are, or will be experiencing high school graduation the same as I am. Nonetheless, it's an event worth celebrating and any student has the right to be happy with crossing this milestone.

I joined Scribblehub when I was in the middle of 9th grade, and it has been a wild ride through high school until now that has left my soul hanging by a thread. The education requirements of my school were particularly tough and studying was intense. The extra classes I took pretty much deplete me of my time to pursue any hobby aside from entertaining myself (writing for example), so every day was a cycle of going to school, going to extra classes, going home, eat, game, and sleeping (at 2 AM). I became less and less caring about the happenings of the world each day, and I just go through the days not for living, but for completing the exams.

The lessons and exams were tough, but there was one redeeming feature about my experience in High school, and that is the friends that I made. I regularly hang out and go to lunch together with several classmates, and we have fun talks together outside of class or in the middle of class (except for one who turned out to be a horrible person and we fell out). By the end of this year, the four of us truly felt like we belonged with each other and that we had each other's backs.

So, with everything said, how do I feel about graduating? Well, I guess not much. At this moment, I have nothing to say about it. I don't feel the intense exhilaration like many I saw on the news do. I don't feel disappointed or regret that I cannot do the tests. I'm just... tired, and glad that it's finally over. And I guess right now I feel a little bit lost too, haha.

This morning, before taking the test, I planned to say something grand on here after I'm done, but I guess I can't really do it after all, so you guys are left with this mess of a rant. Here's hoping for at least ten more years of Scribble Hub! And I'll consider picking up my stories again after abandoning them for three years.

congrats!

I wanted to say been there, done that, do it again, but I don't want to do it again, and now I said it, I can't take it back.

Okay, I said all I wanted to say.
? Understandable have a great day

Congratulations on making it through high school! It can be pretty tough in some places so it's good to hear that you had some good experiences during your time there.

Well, congratulations!:s_smile: I'm currently in my last year of high school.
My new classes have started, but I didn’t attend for 10 days. The last day of the month is approaching.
(I just wanted to share a bit about my personal life:blob_cookie:)

Again, congratulations!

Do something productive with your life, save money, and take risks. You'll never have as much time or energy as you do now. Spend it wisely.
This humble cat got bullied by their teachers until they dropped out in 3rd grade… Nonetheless congratulations-nya~
.... Did you home school? Or are you some kind of street urchin?

Congrats! Even if it's common, you should be proud of your accomplishments. I myself decided to quit highschool midway through and just jump into college early (I got my associate's degree).

Congratulations. Are you planning college? Be a proper Zoomer and rack up student loans that are impossible to pay back in one lifetime. The government needs your debt because they don't get enough taxes!
