Conflicted

So after what felt like forever, it is finally our last year of high school. Throughout my six years at Mayfair, I have been nonstop dreaming about college. Where will I go? Who will I meet? Time wouldn't pass fast enough for me, but now college seems tangible. After researching different colleges throughout high school, I now spend my weekends and free time filling out applications and narrowing down my top choices. For as long as I can remember I've been excited for college, but now I'm not so sure I'm ready.

Senior year is bittersweet. Knowing that this really is the last year has inspired me to get even more involved- join more clubs, attend more sports games, and meet more people. For some of us, it will be the last time we ever see each other and that makes me really sad because I've built relationships with so many people and some are just beginning only to end in June when we all go our separate ways. I have this silly fantasy where I pretend that all my friends and I go to the same college. I guess I use it to cope with the fact that we will all be in different places. Things are always better in my head anyway. I just feel so upset that I've spent about a third of my life with these people and after June that will no longer be the case.
