Trick or Treating

"It's like we're too old to trick or treat, but too young to die."

Passing out candy on Halloween was not only identical to receiving free birth-control, but also sort of sad. Like one, we can't run around and receive a bunch of free candy, but it's more the fact that we're too old for it altogether. It just made the fact that this is our last year of high school a little more real than before. Plus the fact that Tiana and I sat outside in her driveway for over an hour handing out candy to extremely annoying little kids didn't help very much either and in addition to the obnoxious kids, it was freezing outside.

For me, the whole thing is kind of bittersweet. Like, the idea of growing up is sort of scary and it's a little hard to feel completely prepared for it. But at the same time, it's really exciting to realize high school is over soon and most of us will be going to college. I'm more than ready to get a break from this town and get a change of scenery. I'm excited to learn to things and see new faces, but then i'm also sad to know that I won't get to see the kids I've known forever in school every single day. I'm not exactly sure how I got all of this out of trick or treating, but I did.
