Occasionally we only went to someone's house to watch movies on the VCR, and sometimes we even stayed home alone on a Friday or Saturday night. We spent our free time in a million ways: alone, with friends, crying, laughing, joking We went through the fights, the parties, the firsts, the lasts. All this and more as we raced closer and closer to the end of the year. In class, time might have seemed to drag, but in our own time, we put it into fast forward. . Instant Preview Panic! Horror!
