You could write it on the importance of getting out of your normal habitat, on how seeing the world is so important.

why not just say it outright?


If you can't though, focus on writing about all your plans for once you leave, and maybe point out what is possible outside of your town that isn't possible in it. Sort of a passive aggressive approach.

i feel you with the sarcasm thing haha
i was gonna be like 'BEST 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE I WANNA LIVE HERE FOREVER'

but people would just be like.. weirded out

so far i have, for the ending:
StartFragmentI can’t say that highschool has been the best time of my life like I’m sure some of you will, but itwas definitely a time I’ll never forget. I can't wait to get on to bigger and better things in my life. EndFragment

There are things that I have learned in my past from the people and surroundings of my upbringing, however I am even more excited for what the future has in store once I expand my horizons and and reach out to the world in my everlasting quest for knowledge, love and excitement. I am not turning my back on this town but only a new page in the book of my life.

Fuck i don't know i just made that up haha

it's a lovely town, it's just the people in it that bother me

all of the superficial stuff really gets to me

its just spoiled rich kids who don't know anything about real life

and of course you, above all of them, somehow DO know something about real life? wait you probably do, so you'll really stick it to the man via a three line senior write-up.....

this was pretty uncalled for..?
you don't know anything about me, so don't assume

& i'm not trying to teach anyone anything here, i was just looking for advice on writing something rather than the usual 'i love you all and have had the best 4 years of my life'
