"our time is running out"

Soon this year will be over, and then summer, and then my last year in high school. It seems like I should start prioritizing my life, to make the most of my time left in high school. Looking back I've already started that these last few years. I've pushed the bad people further out of my life and brought the good ones close. It's kind of sad that I've drifted apart from some people, but at the same time it's given me oportunities to meet new people, or old people that I never got to know in the first place. The later option seems to be the one I've embraced most. I can't believe how many really cool people I've just gotten to know this year, when they've been around me this whole time. It's like finding a 20 in a pair of jeans you just took out of the wash. It's really quite sad at the same time too, because I've waited so long to get to know these great people, and some will already be departing in september, and most of the rest after next year. There are some that I'd still like to get to know better, but I fear that I'm running out of time. Before I know it it will be summer, and the way that usually works is I get closer with people I already know really well, but don't meet too many new ones, or get close to the ones I don't know that well. This makes me sad, because it would be prime time to do so for many reasons: 1) no school to get in the way 2) no homework to take up time 3) everyone is tan and looks hot. I just thought of all this because I was reading my year book, and I had a lot more sincer notes, and it makes me happy to know I have such good friends, and that I've made great ones this year.
