senior pants

It finally hit me that I'm a senior. It wasn't being the oldest walking down the halls, it wasn't everyone asking what it's like to be a senior, it was taking part of a Marshwood tradition. Ever since freshman year, I couldn't wait to make my "senior pants." It doesn't sound all that exciting, it's just decorating pants for pep rally and the homecoming game. But that's not all the pants represent. It's that we finally made it; we made it all the way through high school. This is the beginning of the last chapter of our childhood. After this, we all have to grow up. There's no more decorating pants or playing childish games. We won't be children anymore. It's the pants that made me realize, it's time to grow up. Whether I want to or not. It's time.
