Senior Year? What?

I’m about to be a senior in high school. In fact, by the time this blog comes out, I will be starting my senior year. To be honest, I’m sort of in disbelief about it. It feels like just last school year that I was a freshman, looking up to the seniors. And now I’m going to be the one they’re all looking up to. It’s kinda crazy. I don’t feel like a senior. I don’t feel mature enough to be one.

One of the biggest things is that it feels weird that I’m going to be one of the oldest students in the school. It just doesn’t feel real. Like there’s no way that just a few years ago, I was in middle school. And now I’m about to graduate high school? What?

The thing I’m dreading the most about senior year is having to apply for college. It’s so stressful and so much work. I want to go college and I know that in order to do that, I have to apply for college. But I’ve been very slowly working on the process for college apps. 

I’m hoping that by the end of senior year, I’ll have better time-management skills. I’ve always been terrible at that, and I’m currently kinda worried that I won’t do well in college because of it. I’ve tried to get better at managing my time all throughout high school, and I think I’ve started to get better at it. So hopefully I will develop enough of those skills by the end of high school to do well in college.
