And congrats on the birthday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&amp;#39;s some unasked-for advice from someone who was your age once and now has kids your age and thinks, yeah - I&amp;#39;m qualified to give unasked-for advice (even if nobody follows it:)).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All those what-ifs you&amp;#39;re worried about? How do you know if you made the right decision? Etc. etc., etc... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Short answer? You don&amp;#39;t. Translation - don&amp;#39;t worry about it all so much. Don&amp;#39;t worry about &amp;#39;absolutes&amp;#39; - every thing has good and bad to it and that&amp;#39;s okay. You make things work for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if - worst case - some decision you make turns out to be The Worst Thing EVER, you suck it up, learn from it, make some course corrections and move forward. Think of it as the grooves etched into the side of a highway; your wheels go off the road, the car vibrates and you straighten it out again. It may have slowed you down, flattened a tire, even broken an axle, but you will get back on the road. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy it all!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4615625750875435786/743574149960185760/comments/default/5238781857506180454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4615625750875435786/743574149960185760/comments/default/5238781857506180454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.emilia-plater.com/2011/05/secret-life-of-graduating-high-school.html?showComment=1305731766104#c5238781857506180454' title=''/><author><name>Patty Blount</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11928111057602279792</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09246054648862126624'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.emilia-plater.com/2011/05/secret-life-of-graduating-high-school.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615625750875435786.post-743574149960185760' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4615625750875435786/posts/default/743574149960185760' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-962194852'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4615625750875435786.post-1017937011218990622</id><published>2011-05-17T14:16:51.345-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-17T14:16:51.345-04:00</updated><title type='text'>YAY YOU ARE ALIVE!
