Glancing over to your side, the passenger seat is all but available.
Piled on top of the canvas cushion is the responsibility of living out
your high school career both to the best of your academic ability
as well as in a manner that allows time for the more important things

in life, like friendship. Companionship is one of the most tangible
abstract ideas in high school because before the four years are over,
the typical drama that comes along with being a teenager is
encountered. This extra baggage adds more stress to the growing
pile that is your passenger seat. Even with the trials and tribulations
of life in high school it is important to cherish the good times you
have with friends that have not yet become just images in the rearview
mirror. With good friends and memories being made on a daily
basis, the future is still a seemingly distant place, being both anticipated

and feared. Feared because the possibility of moving friends from
the passenger seat to the backseat seems inevitable, but anticipated
because of the certainty of encountering new experiences. Leaving
high school is an event that is closer than many people can perceive,
and for this reason, it is essential to live in the moment, even if
the moment is as short-lived as your high school career.
