I am finally a senior and honestly I am scared to death. When you grow up, everyone says that high school will be over in a blink of an eye and nobody believes them. Now that I am a senior, I finally know what they mean. In 7 months, I will be graduated and out in the real world. And honestly that is what scares me the most.
As a kid I always said that I couldn't wait to graduate so I could live on my own, and be in my own house away from everyone, and now I wish that I could freeze time and just stay the same age with very little responsibilities, living with my mom and my sisters, having an amazing boyfriend. I wish that i could just say freeze and it all stop.
After graduation comes college, where you really can't screw up. Your professors won't let you take a test over again if you fail it because you didn't have time to study… to them, you should have better time management. All of this is brand new to you and you are so overwhelmed. It's intense and you just wish you could be a kid again back in elementary school with recess, play time, snack time, etc.
Being a senior in high school is hopefully an eye opener to when you realize this is it. This is when you're getting ready for a brand new life, and you should make it a good one. This is when you realize, and see who your true friends are, and who is actually gonna stick by your side. This is when you can prove all the people who said you wouldn't graduate high school, and that you would be a failure all of your life. This is when you can finally say “I made it and I've never been happier."
