Senior Year

I remember when i was younger talking about how great senior year would be, and how great it was going to be to graduate and move onto college. Always saying how leaving Van Meter couldn't come any quicker because of all the drama within the community.
I am still very excited about moving onto the next stage of my life, but as I reflect on everything that has happened throughout my life, Van Meter is all I have ever known. It seems that with senior year already here every year has gone by faster and faster, and me wanting things to go slower and slower. It's crazy to think that this is the year, we choose what we want to do with our lives. I can barely decide what I want for dinner every night(thank goodness for parents).
I always say i'm not going to miss anything, but I think thats just the excitement of wanting to live the college life. Assuming it's going to be better than high school. When in all reality, I'm going to miss everything. My family, all the friends I have made and relationships built with those people, teachers and coaches who helped me along the way, and even all the drama that comes with being in high school. Ok, probably not the drama, but you get what I'm saying. We take for granted how good we have it in high school.
Senior year is something that is meant to be special and as I get ready to move on with my life, I hope that I use the time I have left to live life to the fullest, can look back on this time and have no regret about anything I do and continue to build friendships that will last a lifetime.

  1. I know what you mean! It seems like when you're younger, it takes forever for your senior year to come. We were so naive as children to believe the real world was going to be better than school. Looking back, I wish my schools years wouldn't have gone by so fast. It's hard to think that in a couple of months, we will be on our own. In a couple of months, we will be moving away and starting our lives. It's hard to believe how time flies by so quickly when you wish it would just slow down. I hope that my senior year goes by slow, so that way I can get more out of the year. So far, no luck. The school year is already flying by. It's already September. Soon enough, it will be May and we will be at the graduation ceremony. This post is pretty touching because so many people can relate to it. Thank you. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.

  2. I felt the same way! Last year I was always saying how much I wanted to get out of high school and be on my own, but now that it is my last year I will truly miss everything! Going out to college on my own will be a scary experience because I wont have anyone there to support me. Ill be making all my choices by myself and it wont be easy. College will be a fun and great experience, but I know that I will definitely miss high school a lot. Keep up the good work! Your blog was very interesting!
