Graduation

Being senior is great, to an extent. From right now, graduation is just around the corner in May. For most of us, we are stresses about trying to figure out what we are going to do with the rest of our lives, what college we are going to go to, and what loans we are going to take out. Most of us are struggling to find the time between school, sports, and work to fill out all the applications for college, and the financial aid papers.
High school is a lot like people say, it goes by quick and it's the best four years of your life. During high school, when you first come in as a freshman, you don't really think about college, you think about how old you are and how fast you are growing up, at least that is what I was thinking about. Then you become a sophomore and things change a little bit, you are no longer an annoying freshman that the whole school looks down on, you are more mellow out than you were and you know how things work, like the schedules and the "mole days" and all the "high school terms". In my experience junior year was the most difficult. By your third year in high school you are ready to graduate, you lose interest in allot of things because it's the year that is boring and there is no motivation in anything that you do. Then come the day you enter as a senior, this day most of us will remember throughout our high school memories because you think to your self, "this is it, lets make it count" and you know that this will be the year that goes by that fastest. Although also that day “senioridis” kicks in, which is a term used by high schoolers meaning that they are ready to graduate now! But also thinking every morning that you have to wake up at 6 in the morning, you can’t wait to graduate and be done with school. Knowing that there are only a few months left, and that alone is motivation to get out of bed.
I think that a lot of us right now don't really realize that this is the last year that we will ever see a lot of our classmates that we've grown up with since elementary school. Our best friends that we have gone through everything with, a lot of the friendships will end due to the hours apart in college.
