Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm in that same position. After mulling over for a few weeks and asking for a lot of advice, I've come to this conclusion:

The end of senior year is a very, very strange transitional period. Now, keep in mind that I am a bit biased because I was jilted, but the way I see it, it's going to make leaving for college a hell of a lot easier. From what I can gather from knowing college students and seeing how they interact, people in college don't pair up like this. If they do, they're simply not worth your time. The reality is that you're probably not going to see these people for a long time (if ever again), and you are gong to find other people.

There's only a couple weeks to go (for me, anyway, I don't know about your schedule). I'd say that the best option is to tough it out. I've found myself leaning on one of my teachers (I swear, she's practically a saint) for advice and conversations over lunch. I'm also hanging out with juniors more often too - trust me, they're far more dependable than seniors at this point.

It might hurt now, but give yourself some space and look at everything in the big picture - a long weekend is an excellent opportunity to do so.

tl;dr: Athens, you're such a smart and amazingly funny person. If your friends are leaving you out, then they don't deserve you.

*snugs real tight*

loneliness is the worst thing on earth. I'm sorry you has it.
