Surviving Senior Year

The moment I wrote that title, I thought, “Oh that’s alliteration!” So anyway, I have precisely 118 days until graduation (I have a countdown app on my phone). But of those 118 days, I only have 70 days of actual school. The beginning of the year was extremely easy (course work wise), and I didn’t feel like I’d ever get that icky thing called senioritis. If second semester was just the same as first, I really wouldn’t be in a bad position right now. But yes, I’m in that bad position with that awful thing called senioritis.

It’s not the senioritis where I just don’t want to do the work because I think, “Oh, I’m in college so I’m done with high school now.” No, it’s the senioritis where you just plan CAN’T STAND walking into the same-old place doing the same-old shit every single day. What has brought upon this huge bout of senioritis is the course work. I was told by hundreds of people, “oh second semester senior year is so easy.” But NO it’s not. Never should I have believed that lie because it’s catching up to me now!

One MAJOR thing that is stressing me out is Online PE. Online PE?? WHAT? I didn’t even know a thing like that existed… until lovely DRHS shoves that crap in my face. And honestly, it’s been a hard transition to move from honors classes to all c-level classes. I’m (mostly) surrounded by kids that are druggies or don’t have ambition or think I’m annoying because I ask questions. It’s truthfully hard for me to learn with surroundings like that! Let’s just say it’s going to be a long and hard next few months. Of course I could just give up right now and most likely remain accepted in all the schools I’ve been accepted to, but I set a goal that I intend on reaching it. My goal is to have all As (online PE doesn’t count… I’ll be satisfied with a D). Last semester I had a 3.88. I mean, I know I’m only taking five classes, but 3.88 looks DAMN good on my transcript.

Nonetheless, the next 118 days will most certainly be the hardest days of my life.
