Summer is officially over, and I still can't grasp the thought that I am finally a high school senior. From special parking spots to fancy lunch gatherings to ultimate special day, I always envied how leisurely seniors always held their look; however, after just one week of coming back into reality, I realized that life is more hectic than ever. Here are the top 23 struggles of every high school senior.
1. Coming out of the school parking lot as if it were a warzone
2. Resisting the temptation to press snooze just one more time

Every. single. day.
3. Struggling to come up with a single idea for college apps
4. Going broke after relying on Starbucks coffee to keep you functioning
...which then leaves you in debt before you even start college.
5. Being looked down upon by all of your teachers and counselors
6. SENORITIS
The utter lack of motivation is quite terrifying. Yet, you still have those college supplements you know you'll regret not starting early in the year.
7. Selling your entire soul to afford decent senior pictures
8. Pondering endlessly over one question
9. Facing the last _______ dilemma
It's the last first last week of high school, the last time I'll eat spicy chicken in the library, the last time I'll be able to pull off the end of the year prank, and finally the last time I'll stress over yet another Calculus test. Relieving right?
10. Doing everything in your power to get that last GPA boost
11. Wracking your brain over which prom dress you should wear or which date you should take
12. Feeling the urge to rebel against your innocent self

"Release the beast"
13. Daydreaming about the day you move out and finally live like an adult
14. Having to analyze your own pros and cons for the first time
15. Breaking the internet on your hunt for scholarships
16. Receiving thousands of emails from college advertisements begging you to apply
17. Planning the perfect senior trip after the year is over
18. Coming up with every elaborate plan to deal with no having a car in college
19. Going through your old Spotify playlists and reliving the past 4 years
20. Knocking on every door to see if they're hiring

21. Gathering together every nerve to ask your teacher for a recommendation
22. Bracing yourself for all those rejection letters
23. Preparing for your dreams to be crushed
Just know, you're not alone.
