My last year of highschool was both the best and worst time I had. On one hand I was having anxiety-induced emotional outbursts once a week or more, but also it was like kind of an enjoyable melancholy?
I would just go to school in my cool new coat, get off the bus and start walking to Tim Hortons because I didnt have a class first period. I’d get a toasted three cheese bagel with herb and garlic cream cheese every day, and eat it as i sat on a bench by the water fountain.
I did this every day. I would listen to Daughters, Sevish by Gleam, portions of the Persona 5 OST, and Care by Temporex as I did my routine.
I wasn’t allowed in the school if I didn’t have a class so on the colder canadian winter days I would stay in the public library two blocks down the street. I went to Pita Pit for lunch most days, back in its’ prime.
Second period I had a Distance Ed Computer Science class with my best friend who had also stayed an extra year. I would use him as a sounding board for coding ideas, all while he did anything but the task given to us.
I had a Biology 12 class the following semester in which I met one of my current friends. We both loved to draw and we shared ideas back and forth for a shared universe concept about an alternate history alien invasion story.
I wasn’t doing good in my Computer Science class. I ended that class with a 54%, and my Pre-Calculus with an 8%. Hearing the news i walked out of the room and cried under a stairwell, assuming my life had been determined then and there.
I remember this time fondly though, despite failing both of my courses. It’s been a year since then, and I could not have imagined this being my life at that time. I listen to those songs again sometimes, remembering this bittersweet period of my life.
I don’t know why I made this thread, but I hope someone at least reads it.
It’s definitely a super sentimental time for me. If things had gone according to plan, I would be living three hours away from here learning to code at my University of choice.
