Being a senior makes going back to school even worse than before. At least for me it is. I feel like being a senior should mean that my year should be easy. Yet my classes this year are more stressful than before. You have duties as a senior. You have to keep your grades, if your getting a scholarship, and you have to try to be a role model for the underclassmen.
As you all know, I do not take stress very well. Better than in years past. But, I get overwhelmed very fast. So going back to school with stress, makes it more stressful, if that is even possible. There is a term called senioritis. It is a awful disease spreading to seniors in high school all around the world. The symptoms are not going to class, and just not caring about school anymore, in which all teachers know of this problem. Yet they do not have a cure. They just give up on trying to get the seniors to get good grades or even come to class.
I am overwhelmed with happiness that I am graduating, but, I am sad that I will lose the traditions that I have created with my family and friends throughout the years. Its a weird feeling to know that I have only 1 year left. Then I am on my own, living life, finding my own path to success. Some of my best friends just graduated 2014. Going to all of there graduation parties made me cry but, also realizing that I will be that person soon.
I am lucky that I know what I want to do, and who I want to be. I have friends who love me for who I am. So going to a different school, that your parents don't sign you up for, and not having your group to make you feel protected from the "high school bullies", having to start all over. That terrifying.. I know that I am almost there, but I do not want it to be over. I want everything to be the same. I am scared to start all over..
