Senior Stressing (#3)


I'm almost 100% positive that almost every single high school senior is feeling the same stress overwhelm them around this time of the school year. We are all having college essays, AP classes and the Common Application thrown at us, one right after another. It can get kind of scary. College is legit right around the corner, and I don't know about you, but I haven't made a final decision about that one college that I really want to go to. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have a few in mind and I'll apply to those few, but there isn't really one that I have my heart set on going to. I guess that can be both a good and a bad thing. Because that way, if I didn't get into that one college, I wouldn't be completely crushed. But then again it kind of leaves me at a vague standing point.

Sometimes, no MOST times, I feel like somehow making my way back to my simple middle school life, where all I honestly had to worry about was actually waking up to go to school. There were no life-impacting decisions that I had to make, no college advisors I had to communicate with, and no expensive tests I had to pay for to take. Life was simple, life was easy, life was fun. Friends weren't so complicated and it didn't really matter who your friends even were because everyone got along with each other. Well, for the most part.
Now all that is ever on my mind is where on this earth I'm going to further my education and how exactly I'm going to pay for that education. Going to a private school sounds great, but paying for it and being in debt for the remaining part of my life, doesn't sound so great. Is anyone else feeling this way? Is anyone else feeling this burden, or am I just making it a bigger deal than what it is?

    Senior here, checking in. I know how you feel. Don't worry though, it'll all be over soon. Try to finish things ahead of time and you'll feel alot better. I should probably use my own advice, too.

    I'm going through exactly what you're talking about, I'm not going to give any advice because honestly I don't know the answer you or anyone else like this is looking for. Including myself

    I'm a Junior so I don't really know what you're talking about. But if this is what my senior year is going to be like, I don't think I'll like it as much as I thought I would.

    OMG I thought I was the only one. I wish we all could go back to a time where we have no responsibility or care in the world.
