As May 18th slowly approaches, I begin to realize how fast senior year has gone by. When I was younger, 2024 seemed so far away and being a senior felt like it couldn’t come fast enough. 46 days until I walk across the stage and begin a new chapter in my life. I honestly have mixed emotions about all of this. I am excited, scared, sad, happy, nervous, etc.
Everyone says that senior year is the most exciting time of your high school years, and I agree. There have been so many senior things that we have done and are doing. My motto for this school year was to take advantage of every opportunity and make as many memories as I could. I have always loved school and so the thought of high school being over makes me sad. I love the little high school life of waking up to come see my friends and favorite teachers. It has especially been better this year because I only have three classes, so I am not stuck in boring classes all day. One of my favorite memories so far was the car painting we did the day before school started. I loved seeing all of the senior girls show up to paint our cars together. It was actually so precious and memorable. I am looking forward to senior prom so much! Prom last year was the best day ever, so I have high expectations for this year. I know that everything will be different next year in college, so I want to soak up everything I can while I am still in high school!
Although senior year is all fun and exciting, I also still get sad, nervous, and burnt out. I never really believed that senioritis would hit me that hard, but it has hit me like a truck. I am so sad, but I am also ready at the same time. I am excited for this new chapter in my life. I am obviously very sad and scared to be finishing high school though. It just became this easy and fun routine for me, and the thought of never doing anything like that again scares me. I am scared to move away from home and have to learn to do almost everything on my own.
Senior year has gone by so fast, and the thought of it almost being over blows my mind. I remember being a little kid in middle school thinking that the day would never come, but in 49 days I am no longer in high school. I am filled with tons of emotions, but I am excited to see what the future holds!
