"Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson reminds me of graduating from high school. It was released just a few months before we graduated, so I remember it being played at the majority of our senior school ceremonies. I absolutely loved the song and I associated it with the excitement I felt about leaving school and starting the next chapter of my life.
However, a couple of weeks after I finished, I went to see "The Princess Diaries 2" at the movies with my friend Zoe. "Breakaway" was recorded as the main song for the film. I remember when it played, Zoe and I turned to each other and burst into tears. After we left the cinema, we had a huge conversation about leaving school, as it was only then that it occurred to us what it actually meant - more responsibilities, less time with friends, more uncertainty. When I think of "Breakaway", I still only associate the excited feelings I originally experienced, as it was that conversation with Zoe that made me realise that the roller coaster of emotions we felt were normal and only added to the excitement.
