The gray area between High School and the rest of your life

So I graduated from High School last year. I liked school, I wasn't particularly good at it, as I'm just a person of average intelligence, and I don't like being told what to do. I just like the social element of it, I love hanging out with my social peers and making fun of them, and myself, in my head.

Remember when you were a little kid? Looking back thinking about all the stuff you did, sometimes you think, "dang that was stupid, I can't believe I did that, or said that." Well, I often see that in what I am doing at the time in the present. I often think, hmm I'm going to look back at this day and think, why in the heck did I give all that gum to my english class and land us all in detention. It was fun at the time, even though I knew it was stupid.

But I miss High School. I'm LDS, so I'm going to be going on a mission in a few months. So instead of signing up for college after I graduated, I got a full time job at a video production place and started saving for my mission. Everybody else in my graduation class signed up for college. Here's the thing, almost all of my friends signed for out of state colleges.

Do you know how boring my life has become since I graduated? My entire days consists of waking up, going to work, and hanging out on the Rifftrax forums. Well, not entirely, lately I have gotten a new obsession with a Zelda game that is 20 years old. It is by far the hardest game I have ever played.

But anyway, I can't wait until I leave on my mission and start hanging out with a bunch of guys my age, doing stuff we all set out to do. Preach the LDS gospel. We are there for a common goal, sort of like High School in trying to learn. So I'm excited to finally get out of this rut of video games and overall lethargy.
