Once you finish high school, you are thrown into a world of opportunities, and decisions. You are forced to make choices that affect you further. When I graduated from high school, I was supposed to start college the next fall. I had been accepted into Valdosta State University in Georgia. I had been truly excited and ready to start my freshman year of college.
As I reminisce about the four years of high school I spent writing, reading, studying, memorizing and socializing, I realize that what people said about it being the best four years of your life isn’t necessarily true. The truth is that these are the best introductory four years of your life. If there is any valuable piece of advice I can give it is this: High school is not the end. This advice can be cautionary or hopeful -- it all depends on the student.
I am having to readjust to the idea of being a freshman for the second time. People too often use the phrase “time flies,” but I can think of no more applicable phrase than that for describing what high school was for me.
After junior year, I figured, “If I got through the ACT, SAT, and all my AP exams, I can get through anything senior year throws at me -- piece of cake!” Truth is, I find that it’s a lot more complicated than it seems.
The famed senioritis is already beginning to spiral through my thoughts. As I make list upon list of things I need to get done, I find myself succumbing to distractions.
