However, every day, hours and class that I was in felt like a dream and a vacation. It feels weird not going to the same school that you have been going to for 5 years. It feels weird that you still wake up at the same time but going in the opposite direction. It feels weird doing these familiar things but with different friends. It feels weird not going to the same school as the girl that kept your heart for 5 years. You need time to get used to the fact that her smile is the only thing that you morning.
