I am expecting senior year to be a mix of emotions, I know it is going to be a great and bad year all in one. Even now I catch myself day dreaming about walking across the stage and shaking the principal’s hand, though I never pictured what would happen between now and then.

Senior will have a fun side; that is the year you have to go full out on dress up days. Hopefully the dress up days will be more creative next year. My friends and I have already made a plan for senior dress up week, for character day with were going to be the ‘Totally Spies’ girls, and go thrift shopping for senior citizen clothing.

I feel like in my senior year I will start working harder in school because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, also for colleges. College is something that will be stuck in my head the whole year. The idea of picking one school that will determine my future scares; I am sure that year I will be stressed every day because of it.

Senior year is going to be full of all my regrets of not being outgoing in class and taking naps instead of learn because it was on the test. My advice to myself is to not get distracted during school. I have worked so hard to prove I can go into AP classes; I need to remember it’s not for nothing. I need to not spread my life so thin from activities, I need to be able to focus on school and grades.

Graduation is the moment that everyone looks forward it, but I do not because I know I am going to miss all the memories of senior year and the rest of high school. Knowing that my high school life is coming to an end, Now that I am close, I am not ready. It is funny because I just realized how much I wanted to be over freshman year.
