Dear Editor,
OK,
Once again Pacey Witter has impressed me more than I ever thought he had the potential of doing. He hit the nail right on the head! Prom is just an excuse for people to get all dressed up and rub against each other, which in most cases I enjoy but it makes me mad that people think that they actually have to go to this thingy. I however do have a wonderful date for the prom and I am excited but if I had the choice of staying home with my best friend and going to the prom I would definitely just stay home. I'm looking forward to this dance because I (being a 7 year old girl once with Saved By The Bell on TV) have in a way dreamed about this night too. I just think from my date's viewpoint he's only going because I even said something about it! He's just that type of a guy! So Pacey I hope you had as much fun with Joey as I'm going to have with Alex! I want to hear about it in your next column! yours,
Erin

Dear Editor,
My first year of university has finally come to a close. Observing the students of Capeside end their high school years brings back how I was feeling a mere year ago. I believe that graduating high school is potentially the toughest moment of a young person's life up to that point. Miraculously the clan at the creek will surely end up staying together, but until then the uncertainties are unbearable. Will you ever see your closest friend again? How will long distance romances work? How can you possibly completely change your life and move on with nobody there as a security blanket? I'll admit that I frequently wish I was in high school again. The reality is that we keep aging and there's nothing that can stop that. I'm not about to say that college is an even more amazing and fun time than high school, because that hasn't been my experience. It's different. It can't be compared. Despite all my fears of losing my high school friends, we have remained close, although separated - a truthful oxymoron. New friends come and old friends remain. Think of college as gaining something new without losing anything old. Although the adjustment to college life is tremendous, you will survive. And if you're not going to college, the real world is waiting anxiously for you. Strive towards your dreams and never give up.

Good luck to the Capeside graduating class of 2001. To the friends, the couples, and the memories, I hope you all make it through the trials of the upcoming years.

P.S. To comment on Pacey's negative opinions about prom - in a way he's right. Prom is a big show, where cliques stand out more than they ever did when roaming the halls of the school. And at the same time, everyone comes together as a class to display their commonalities. It can be a fun and emotional time if you allow it to. Wish Joey luck with her address at graduation. I'm sure she'll be fabulous, and I envy her courage, strength, and determination.

Dear Editor,
I just want to say all of you out there who don't like Pacey's Rants, should really get a reality check. I mean come on you are being extremely hypocritical. You say he complains and whines, fine I get that, but isn't that what you're doing???????? You're complaining about his complaints, so next time you complain about his "ranting" sessions you should look in the mirror and see who's really complaining.

Dear Editor,
After reading Jen Lindley's editorial I have come to the conclusion that the girl needs to lighten up! The Prom night is one night of the year you can relax and act like a pathetic dork - everyone else will be. It's a night when she can let herself go and actually (shock horror for Ms cool NY) be ENTHUSED about something. Just don't take it so seriously - your image isn't everything.

Dear Editor,
I agree with what Andie said, friends are one of your ultimate blessings and they are very hard to find. We are five in our click, and one of us is leaving. Call it corny, but it's very hard to say goodbye. We've been through a lot of tough times and also good times. I know you hear that from all people, but I think, we are five of a kind! We know each other so well, we finish each other's sentences, we correct each other's mistakes, we are almost a perfect circle. But I guess, when you think that happiness will never seem to end, it will. And the saddest part is, though you've been together for almost every day of your lives, you'll just realize in the end that there's so many things that you haven't done together yet---- there's so many words you haven't told each other yet. It's really devastating to know that you kinda wasted your life, ranting, feeling so discontented, sit around, voicing your dreams and doing nothing about it--- because that's what we did. The five of us got in a social predicament, it was a strong blow, hard core. And we just felt bad and started hating things on our way, and then one day, when we learned that everything was gonna end, we just felt so regretful. So all I want to say is, cherish the moments you are with your friends and make the most of every bad situations because your friends are one of the best things that happens in your life, and who knows? They might not be able to stay with you, even if they want to.
