The sound of laughter and fistfights. Lasagna thrown on the cafeteria floor,
geometry books being burned in the garbage cans, Sidra Stanislow finally
losing her virginity up against the dumpsters behind the memorial auditorium.
All the janitors are getting high. The teacher’s lounge is choked with stifled
arguments and the vending machines are empty. It’s the last day of high
school.
You’re graduating. Rushing headlong into the unknown rest of your life. Your
friends are drifting off in every direction. Some are going to college, some are
going to work and some are going to their parents basements to watch reality
TV. As you see it, there are two options. Go to college and get ahead or take
some time off and go traveling. If you get a degree, you might get a jump on a
decent income - but if you go traveling, you might have an excellent adventure.
Both have merits, both have drawbacks. Neither are permanent, and this makes
the decision harder.
Take into account your boyfriend has already decided to go to college and he
wants you to come with him. (You’ve been together ever since he annihilated
your virginity in an abandoned Christmas tree shack by the highway.) He’s
handsome and he loves you. The two of you really great sex. He’s big. (You
know, big.) You see college as the responsible choice and travel as the fun
choice, but then again college can be fun and traveling can be disastrous. The
choice is yours. Your grandparents have given you a small chunk of money for
graduation – just enough to get you going in whichever you choose.

If you decide to travel, go to section 3
