Fast Times at Lowell High

On Friday I got to hang out with a bunch of my high school friends that I’ve known for 14+ years. A group of us started at my apartment and then eventually met up with the larger group in North Beach at a bar. We don’t get to hang out that often anymore so it was really good seeing everyone and reminiscing about the glory days.

After we closed down the bar, some friends decided to continue the party at a friend’s house. I know I’m getting older as I realized it was 1:30am and immediately called an Uber home instead of partaking in the postgame fun.

It was an interesting ride home as I started thinking about how fast times change. Just a couple years ago there would be no chance I’d turn down an invite to keep the party going.

One of my favorite movies in high school was Fast Times at Ridgemont High despite coming out nearly 30 years before my time in high school. I can only imagine what high school seniors in 1982 feel like when they see that movie. Time really does move fast.
