hawaiian food

We got hawaiian food for dinner tonight and it was very "delish"(aka delicious). We bought the pork and chicken laulau, and my grandpa made poi. I quickly scarfed down a lot of kalua pig and some laulau, and now here I am writing this blog. Eating Hawaiian food for the first time in a long while, I started to think about how much I'm gonna miss it come next year. I often find myself reflecting on how different and weird things will be next school year when I'm off living somewhere else and joining the college scene, etc. I can't really imagine myself in the college scene slash being independent slash being without my family and friends etc. Even though being away from my parents sounds so exciting, I know I'm going to miss them. I know I'll miss high school, even though it really sucks right now.
Many of my friends can't wait to get off the island and start living the college life. As much as I want to get off the island I can't help but feel scared and sad. I'm going to miss all of my friends and all I'll have to take up with me will be all of the good and bad memories we've had. If someone were to ask me what I'm going to miss most when I leave for college, I have no idea what I would say. I would miss a lot of things, I can't just name one. I've been trying to make the best of my senior year in terms of trying to make new friends, trying to rekindle old friendships, and of course maintaining my relationships with old friends and making them even stronger. Despite the occasional drama, I find my senior year to be somewhat dramaless and carefree. It's so hard to concentrate on my schoolwork this semester...which is the direct opposite from last semester when I would be so hardcore at studying and doing my schoolwork.
This is a slightly random blog...but I'm hoping some other seniors can relate? Hmm...

I found that it was harder for me to buckle down my second and third year in college. The key is to make sure you are doing something you want/like to do. Since you probably don't have that option now, I would suggest you try to find something about what you are doing now to focus on.
