I’m now 38 years old with 3 kids. This song was played June 8, 2000 when I graduated from 8th grade @ vanguard learning center in Compton, California. RIP to all the fallen ones along the way and bless the ones still here with us!
I’m 35 now … Prayers for most of us in these comments .. it seems like the song hits harder when your not where you hoped you’d be ….. we all are still trying to figure it out in some way or another . Prayers to everyone ❤ Class of 2007
Left school in 83. Lost some bloody good friends. Not many of us left now. Make the most of every day. Life can be very cruel. Brilliant song Brilliant memories 😊
If any song deserves to be called an anthem and not a song, this would be right up there. Genius work.
Fun Fact: Vitamin C became the VP of Music for Nickelodeon in 2012 and now she is a Music Executive for Netflix. So it’s good to see that she achieved some great things even out of the prime spotlight and has had an illustrious and diverse music career. Anyway this is the anthem song for graduations everywhere! Such a great song.
High School in the 90s was pretty awesome looking back.
This song hits different when you move away from your hometown after graduation and are now in your mid 30s.
I'm 72 now, but this song really tells it like life is. It goes by way too fast. I'll make the best of what time I have left. That's all I can do.
The late 1990s and early 2000s were truly a great time.
I graduated in 2002 and they had this song playing. When I hear this song, I get emotional because in the 90's and early 2000's was the best memories ever. We didn't have to worry about anything like right now. I'm 37 and I love this song
Its crazy that this song is over 20 years old now. It feels surreal. Those of us who heard this song during our graduation when it came out, are now hearing it in our own children's graduation
This was 1 of my sister's favorite songs before she passed away in June of '04. R.I.P. Jesika Renee 🙏
Best graduation song ever in history period
My advice to the young ones and teens that can't wait to grow up: Live life to the fullest! You're only young for how long, so appreciate it, go and hangout with your friends, cause you'll miss your teenage life/being young when you're old enough..
In my 40s. Song still gets me. Life goes so damn fast
1999 will never be the same. When we had our first mobile phone. When we were so young and innocent. The internet was so simple and slow but was so much fun.
This hits different when it's been 14 years since you graduated.. and friends have passed. Rip to everyone we have lost too young.
Damn good memories... all those tears knowing we were going separate ways congrats all classes of 2021
Im 35 and this song will always dig deep into the nostalgia ❤️
