To those still in high school who have it good, as well as assignments that do not take up your whole night... BE THANKFUL. I was once in your shoes. I was in my senior year counting the seconds until graduation. I wanted nothing more than to move on with my life. Within a blink of an eye high school was really over and before I knew it I was moving into college.
Don’t rush into growing up or going to college just yet, enjoy the Friday night football games... and the making of what the prom weekend house will consist of. I miss all of this and would go back to high school in a heartbeat. The workload was so much easier, and so was life in general. College is cool and all until you get so tired of the food, that you are literally dying for a home cooked meal. Sleeping in a twin bed does get old after a while too, especially when you are used to having a queen.
What should be looked forward to in college, is the extended winter break and summer. If the workload in college was like it was in high school, I would say it is definitely worth looking forward to. However, be prepared to manage your time enormously and Starbucks coffee will turn into your best friend for sure.
One last thing… I promise you, 8ams are the devil and even if you think you can do it, you will regret it. Enjoy strolling into homeroom 5 min after the bell rings...you won't be doing it for much longer.
