16 and growing up so fast.

In Liz's blog she said that she was out of here in two years.
I hadn't realized.
Is that all that it is?
Really?
I feel like I have so much more growing up to do before I go off to college, but two years? That's really not so much, is it?
I mean, I suppose that it really is a lot when you think about it, but at the same time...wow. I guess I just hadn't noticed that it was so close. I'm 3/8 done with high school. I'm kind of scared to leave high school to be honest. I know that sounds silly, and it's not that I'm not ready to go off on my own...it's just weird to think about I suppose. I just hadn't realized that that is all it is. It's funny how four years sounded like forever and 2 and a half sounds like almost nothing.
Yet at the same time it sounds like forever and I wonder if we will ever get to leave.
Then I actually think of that song High School Never Ends (which I only know because of it is featured in an Ouran High School Host Club AMV). I was thinking of all the condesending, inconsiderate to the EXTREME, ridiculous, gossiping, back stabbing, BITCHES that fill high school and I'm realizing that they are never going to go away. I am always going to be surrounded by the same immature idiots that I am with now, even if their names and faces change.
Is it weird that we don't think of our best friends in that way? I mean, best friends change over time, that's how life is, but we don't think of them as the same people with a different name and face.
I wonder why that is.
I wonder if they are?
