Everyone's a letdown. On Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2006 at 2:54 p.m.
I've lived in the same city for 17 years. Next year, I'll leave everything behind. I'll adopt new friends, new ideas, new traditions, and a new place as my home. Part of me can't wait to shed the baggage that's been collecting throughout high school but part of me wants to latch onto everything I love about life in Irvine. I'll probably only keep a few friends, if that. There are no more next years and no more excuses. It's terrifying.
