I found this little thing on the internet.... I Australianized it though (turned Senior year into yr 12, Prom into Grad etc lol)
To the Year 12s--
Year 12 is unlike any other year. Here are a few things you should know..
It won't hit you when you wake up for your last first day of school.
It won't hit you as you walk into the Senior common room for the first time.
It won't hit you when you cheer at your last swimming carnival and attend your last football game.
It won't hit you as you fill out the countless university applications.
It won't hit you as your uni friends return for Christmas break and give you all their advice.
It won't hit you as you celebrate New Year's with the friends you have known since childhood.
You won't feel it when you are having the time of your life at your last summer holidays.
You don't realize it during muck up day, when everyone, no matter what group you are in, goes crazy!
When November finally comes around and you realize that it is your Grad Ball, you don't really feel it when you are there having the time of your life.
You begin to realize it at Graduation when you look around and realize that you will never see half of these people again.
You will begin to see it more over the summer when everyone is getting their results, roommates, class schedules, and going to orientation.
It still hasn't fully hit you when you are sitting in your room packing up the past 18 years of your life, laughing with your best friend about all the stupid stuff you've done.
You might feel it the morning you leave for uni as that it is the last time you will see your room, your parents, and your best friend for like 3 months.
It will finally hit you when you are sitting in your dorm room with a perfect stranger, that you have to live with for the next year.
Please, Please, PLEASE make every moment of year 12 count, you only get to do it once. Uni will be a lot of fun, but in the mean time, jump at every opportunity you get to do anything that you have ever wanted to do. Spend as much time with friends as possible, for it will not be long until you meet new people and inevitably grow apart.
