For a long time I was afraid, skeptical, and anxious about graduating from Mayfair High School in June of 2016. I wrote about it whenever i could, afraid that what would come after high school wouldn’t be safe, healthy, or interesting enough for me. Everything seemed to be passing by me too quickly, I couldn’t catch up with time. Not that most of this worry has left me, but I now feel more confident to approach graduation and carry out the rest of my senior year. I still have those thoughts of not wanting to leave the comfort of my home and campus which i have grown to accommodate to for the past six years.
Everyone, including ex-monsoons who graduated last year, have advised me to make the best of my time left at Mayfair, because when looking back, it all goes by too quickly. Although I understand where they are coming from, I just can’t wait for June 16th 2016. I suppose I can see myself giving underclassmen the same advice, because when looking back, time always seems to have flown out of grasp. Nonetheless, things this October have become very real to me. I visited my top three college choices, something i once thought was never going to be possible. It has somehow woken me up and made me realize, this is going to happen. What i have been waiting for as long as i could remember is less than a year away. Moving out, meeting new people, and having a brand new atmosphere is so close i can practically taste it.
As I was walking down the corridors of these three possible universities, all i could think about was whether I would be as excited to graduate in 2020 as I am ready to graduate now. From here till June, I will dismiss the popular “senioritis” and try to make good out of my last high school year.
