No one ever talks about how it doesn't feel to be a senior. We're almost half way through the year and I still don't feel like a senior. Nothing has really changed, it just feels like another school year.

You always think that when you're a senior you'll feel so much older and different, but in reality, nothing has really changed. All it really feels like is a much more stressful school year. Sometimes it feels weird, thinking about it being your last time to do different things. In reality, it's my last time to go to sporting events as a student, design my last yearbook, take my last yearbook photos compete in my last FBLA and FCCLA event, etc. It's a crazy thing, that I'm not really ready to take on.

I'm not ready to graduate and leave the easy street. I'm not ready to walk the halls as a high school student, to Beta convention the last time, to be apart of a "group" for the last time, and to sit in a classroom where I know every single person by name.

I know there is so much outside of the high school walls, but I'm not ready to leave the easiness of it. I'm not ready to know the college struggle, to know how stressful it is, to know how finals week really is.

So to anyone looking forward to senior year, know this first. It doesn't feel any different, it may hit you every once in awhile and you may end up getting emotional about it, but nothing feels different for the most part. It just feels like a normal school year jam packed with scholarship deadlines, preview days, everything college related, so good luck.
