With graduation having come and the school year coming to an end, it's scary to think about how quickly the year went by. Some people might say that it didn't go quickly at all. However, I feel like each year has just been going progressively faster. This year was definitely the hardest. This is the most highly anticipated summer in my life, and I cannot wait for it to come. I had thought that my last post was the last of the year, but since its not, I guess I'd like to take this time to talk about summer.
I love summer. Although last summer was really busy for me, I still enjoyed it. Summer just lets me feel so free. This summer I am (hopefully) getting my license, which will be helpful. I can't wait to wake up at 12 o'clock, sit around aimlessly for a while, play some video games, go out, hang out with friends, come home, and repeat. A bit of fun hasn't ever hurt anybody. Going to the pool will also be a plus. I find it funny when I get a tan line (though for some reason some people don't understand black people can also get darker). One thing I'm quite anxious to do is play basketball. I haven't been able to play in forever because I hurt my groin, so finally returning to the court is going to be great.
All-in-all, I need summer to get here...NOW! I love summer. This next week is probably going to be the longest one of my life, but that will just make summer so much better. I hope that all of you have a great summer, and have a great life. Much love, Tahar

My Futile Attempt
"In this last blog I will try to take the task that was put on me. I may mess up, but I think it will be fun to try. I want to tell all of you how I am very not sad that the end of the year is here. I can not wait for the warm sun to beat down on my face as I chill all day. All of my days will be spent with my friends. I am very happy that I will have three months of fun. I am quite happy I will spend my time in bed (to sleep of course), the fan in a twirl over my head. I love the fact that I only have one more year of high school. I feel like life is so fast now, and I want to just stop at times to live for now. Life is short, and at times it is hard, but it is how you act in the time you are here, not what comes later, that makes you great."
This was my attempt at writing a blog post with only one syllable. As you can see, it was a very futile attempt. However, I really was trying to make a point. In some of my posts, I may have come off as nostalgic. During the second semester of junior year, I have started the college process, like many of my peers. However, As I have been going through this process, I've come to realize that while we are all so caught up in our futures, we aren't taking enough time in the present. Sometimes when I'm sitting alone, just thinking, I miss the days of my childhood, and how I didn't have a care in the world. I don't want that to happen again as I move into the stage of my life. High school is supposed be full of our best memories, and I don't want to rush through it all, so worried about the future that I'm not appreciating the present. Now, I'm not trying to say we shouldn't try to plan the future completely. In all honesty, that would be foolish. However, all of the over-planning and competition that our school perpetuates just doesn't make sense. I myself have made plans for myself, but that doesn't mean that they won't change. How can people ask what I want to do with my life when I'm just trying to make it through the day? So really, while I am satisfied with my plans at the moment, who's to say that they won't change in 5 years, or 10 years, or 20 years? My attempts to plan everything are just...futile. I'm just trying not to get too caught up in the future and live in the present. Life is moving fast as it is, and it's only going to get faster. So while I'm going to be doing a lot of different things this summer, I'm also going to try and do things that are essentially pointless. This is my last summer of high school, and I don't want to miss anything because I was so caught up in the future. I'm just going to try to have a great summer, though in the end it might just be a futile attempt. Only time will tell.
Have a great summer everybody.
