I'm a high school senior, so I have quite a bit going through my head at the moment.

For instance:

1. Always constantly torn between the feeling of wanting to graduate and the feeling of never wanting to leave home.
2. Either in love with my parents or having a sincere feeling of agitation against them,
3. Never really sure what I want with my life… just kind of saying what makes every one else happy and comfortable
4. Worried. Very very worried.
5. Realizing that even though junior year was very stressful and it’s over, there is a new type of stress that I did not expect to encounter so early: financial.
6. Not an adult yet, so I still have to tip toe around the fact that in school, I am not fully granted the rights of the Constitution, only partially.
7. Not an adult yet, so I still have to raise my hand to go pee.
8. Not an adult yet, but guess what? I’m not a child either. So, I better grow up real soon.
9. Trying to be as mature as I can about most situations.
10. Working on my time management.
11. Working on my attitude.
12. Wondering if anybody has mastered the perfect balance between sleep, homework, social life, work, extracurricular activities, maintaining healthy relationship, and maintaining a healthy body.
13. Realizing that some of the things in the last statement have to be sacrificed in order for me to stay sane and happy.
14. Learning that music is my best friend.
15. Not yet finished developing, but really, who is?
16. Always complaining, while always stating positivity.
17. A struggling optimist.
18. Gaining and strengthening values I didn’t know were in my current mental state of reach.
19. Writing.
20. Thinking.
21. Dreaming.
22. Involved in one of the biggest and most disappointing presidential elections in American history.
23. Trying to figure out what the biggest problem is facing my generation.
24. Taking pictures often.
25. Making memories.
26. Loathing dress code.
27. Busy.
28. Trying to enjoy my last year of true adolescence.
29. Missing my childhood.
30. Repeating “last year..” to myself 20 times a day.
31. Yearning freedom.
32. Human being. Which makes me unique, so do not label us all the same.
33. Smart enough to know right from wrong.
34. Intelligent enough to participate in conversations adults never expect me to have an opinion in.
35. Apathetic enough to make unintelligent, not smart, and well thought out choices.
36. Refraining from fighting underclassmen.
37. Sometimes indifferent.
38. Always tired, but always ready to go somewhere.
39. Cool enough to point out clichés, and how cliché this list is beginning to get…
40. Close to one of the best and most crucial “Congratulations!” in my life.
