Where Has Senior Year Gone?



“Do not go where the path may lead;
go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
 -Ralph Waldo Emerson

 This school year has literally flown by. I feel like just yesterday I was a freshman at NTCS, nervous and anxious for what was ahead of me. I always heard people say that high school flies by but I didn't think it was this fast. Everyone's already taken their senior pictures, cap and gown measurements are next week and everyone's getting college acceptance letters. It's crazy to think that at this time next year, I'll be a college freshman. As it approaches, I seem to get more and more anxious; both good and bad types of anxious. I'm excited for the experience that lies ahead, because so many people have told me that college is one of the best experiences of your life, but at the same time i'm so nervous and scared! I'm going to a place where I won't know anyone and i'll have to start all over. It's good in a way because I can start fresh and show everyone who I really am, but at the same time it's nervewrecking. I sometimes tend to think about whether people will like me or not, or whether i'll make many friends but at the end of the day I know those are things that no one should worry about. As long as everyone shows their true colors and goes in with a positive attitute, everything will be fine. I know i'm not the only one that's nervous, but I think the feeling that overpowers everyone is excitement. Knowing that we'll all be independent is a thought that makes me even more anxious to venture off on a new journey. New friends will be made, new bonds will be formed and it all goes up-hill from there. I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their senior year and that the college process/experience is everything that you expect it to be :) I know it's a little early to start wishing everyone luck, but three months from now i'll be posting about graduation and really wish everyone the best. AHH !
