Every Thought I Had During Senior Year
(well, all the thoughts I can remember)
As of June 4, 2016, I officially finished with high school. Many people are gonna ask, whether they truly care or not, "How does it feel?" If I were a normal person, I'd tell them right then and there. To make it easier for everyone, I summed up my thoughts of what senior year is like, from my standpoint. I hope many future seniors will read this as well so they can obtain a better understanding of the reality of senior year.
THE AUGUST EXPECTATIONS:
I can’t wait for second semester so the fun can begin.
I won’t procrastinate…
I’m going to do so much this year.
Dear God, please let me have fun this year.
I’m gonna come back all the time.
I'm gonna hang out with so many friends like every weekend.
QUOTES THAT GOT ME THROUGH THE YEAR:
“The future’s gonna be great.” -Dan Barber
“Thanks for the adventure. Now go have a new one.” -Ellie, Up
“Oh the places you’ll go…” -Dr. Seuss
“It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has the power over you, if you allow it.” -Unknown
“Be who you are and say how you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” -Dr. Seuss, Cat in the Hat
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” -Mark Twain
“There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.” -Alfred Hitchcock
“Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you’ll find is that you can overcome anything.” -Unknown

Hey guys, I love you.
I know it sounds like I hated high school, but I couldn’t have wished for a better four years. Yeah, there were plenty of sucky moments, but the fun, exciting moments and the wonderful people who went through it with me are what made it the best.
Goodbye high school. Hello college.
