It is currently the last summer that the class of 2016 has before the real world starts. I can't speak for everyone, but for myself, I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that in less than a year from now, I will be done with school, forever. I thought that graduating high school was crazy and scary, and I still had four more years of school to go, something I have been doing my whole life. Now, in (hopefully) 10 short months, I will have completed my years of education.

With graduation in the near future comes swarms of questions from parents, grandparents, extended family (not to mention your parents' friends and coworkers) about what your plans are after graduation and if you know what your life's goals are. Like I previously said, I cannot speak for every senior, but I know I am not alone when I say that I am just trying to wrap my head around the fact that I am almost done with school and I am about to enter the "real" world.

I still need to fully process that before I can sit down and start my plan for the next chapter of my life. When I have to play 20 questions with people about what I want to do with my life, all it does is make me anxious and flustered and worry that I don't have my life together.

I am realistic about what I need to do when the time comes to do them. But for now, it is still summer time and I don't want to really worry about the rest of my life until at least my last first day of school at the end of August.
