me at the end

Unfortunately, most media following a high-school aged protagonist is not centered around Senior year.  Freshmen year being the most prevalently covered, with Sophomore year for tv shows simply out of convinience(less formal introductions, quicker).  Senior year themed ones typically deal with some sort of steady change from Freshman to Senior year, or centered around a party.  Occasionally, there is some sort of "what to do next" question.  However, for most people here, it's pretty straightforward.  I can assume most of those in this class will go to college next year. 
Me at the end? I don't really think so.  My life would be under the sitcom or dramatic comedy category, so the only real end is of the setting and supporting characters.  There will be a definate change, and old characters may be reintroduced later, but for the most part this new season will feature all types of new things.  I haven't changed anything about myself in quite a while, I'm just a static character.  The me at the end is the same me at the beginning.  I haven't changed, only experianced more. 
Now media that continues from high-school years on through college typically aren't great, and usually can't maintain the same level of comedy or whatever.  Mainly due to the change in surroundings, even if the character remains the same and those added fulfill the same characteristics needed to balance everything.  So I'm hoping this will completely be something new, with new types of people, not to fulfill the characters that appeared over the high-school years.  Grade school years was a really bad story, but really important for development later.  High school years had a huge change and were pretty good, pretty typical though.  College years I'll definately perfect it, or maybe a bit after.  But still, experiance is helping a pretty good deal. 
This is not me at the end, this is me at the start.  This is not a coming of age story.  My background story should be over either by now, or soon.
