<p>I feel the same way, I’ve been waiting on going to my dream school since sophomore year, I got accepted in September, and now I’m just pushing through the rest of senior year and counting down the days until move-in day!</p>
<p>Second semester senior here. So I totes get what you’re saying, I’m so ready to hit this next chapter in life. Though I know I’m going to look back on high school and really miss it.</p>
<p>Senioritis, or I guess junioritis for me ;)</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? I am so freaking excited about going! I hate where I live and want out…and I want snow. Oh and the new people, independence, challenging work…Ah-maz-ing!</p>
<p>Maybe as a sophomore it’s a little awkward…</p>

<p>Thank you! A lot of people think WSU is just some joke, party school. But they have some good program. And I’ve been to a few psychology classes there and the professor was great. The atmosphere on the Pullman campus is just amazing. And I wish I lived close enough to do running start there, but it’s five hours away :p</p>
<p>@milkyway531 No school is absolutely good at everything. WSU has some good programs for specific things. And I just want to go for my Undergrad. Pullman is a great city! Maybe you just have to visit there, idk.</p>
<p>Egelloc, you don’t know what senioritis is yet. Trust me, I thought that I had senioritis last year too, but you don’t understand. I am a straight A student, going to a top school, etc. and yet I can barely get myself to do the work I like, much less the work I don’t. My homework in math hasn’t been touched in weeks (Of course, it doesn’t really hurt my grade because of how many other assignments we have) and my newspaper stuff gets more tedious every day (Even though I love the people, advisor, subjects, etc). That’s senioritis, not “I wish I were in college.”</p>
<p>Some people believe they have a dream school, career, major, etc. early (like sophomore year, like the OP) and end up changing their mind. Some obviously stick with it like a few others above, but people change. The average college student changes majors 3 times, I believe is the statistic. Just a fair warning.</p>
<p>I was like you in my freshman year of high school, but seeing as you still have 2 years of high school left, make sure you enjoy it! It’s awesome you have a set goal, and I wish you the very best of luck. Keep working hard, but don’t forget that you’ll never have the chance to do high school over again. As the end of my senior year quickly approaches, I find myself torn between wanting desperately to get out while also wanting to never get out. </p>
<p>Learn to appreciate the safety and security of your high school life. Do everything and anything, and don’t get too lost in the future - I made that mistake and I missed out on a lot of good times. Dream when you need to, but don’t run away from what you have right now in the present! These may not necessarily be the best years of your life, but they also aren’t the worst. :)</p>
<p>Can’t wait to get the hell outta here. I know i’ll miss high school but I’m ready to leave right now!</p>
<p>I’m a senior and I have bought things for my dorm room already.</p>
<p>I felt the same way when I was a sophomore. As a senior, I feel just the opposite. Really starting to realize how much I loved high school and it was truly a great time. Sure, not everything went as planned, but I really had the time of my life. I think I will be attending Umich this fall… I’m looking forward to the new experience but realize that high school will never come back.</p>
<p>I feel claustrophobic in my small town. I just want to start over and leave my mistakes behind.</p>
<p>You’re seriously not weird at all. I am the same way. It just helps me do better in high school. Nothing to worry about!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m really going to miss my high school after graduation.
Only about three months left.</p>
<p>Can’t wait to be away from my parents. Went to a residential summer program June-August and had the time of my life.</p>
<p>I’m psyched. I’m way too excited to go off to college and I’m only a sophomore in high school. Which is probably a bad thing.</p>
<p>Well you are a bit more optimistic than I am. I want to go to college as well (although I’m a 16 year old who still has two more years, although I could have graduated at 14/15 if I really wanted to.) I’m tired of the idiocy and I feel as though it’s dumbing me down. Good luck at your school.</p>
<p>I’m a senior in high school and I’m not that eager to go to college, but I am excited and happy about graduating soon. lol I know my dream school and I’ll know whether or not I’m in in about 3 more weeks and it’s killing me! What I’m mostly worried about is the home sickness that I might developed if I go to a far away school and learning how to basically live on my own! :)</p>
<p>I’m excited to go to college, but I know I’m going to miss a lot about my high school and my home. I’ve made great friends, my classmates are hilarious and make the days bearable (most of us have been in the IB program together since seventh grade so we’ve done a lot of bonding over the workload), I have some really awesome teachers… I’m going to miss it. I’m going to get such nostalgia when I come to visit. </p>
<p>Plus I love my family. My dad’s brother and sister live within two hours and his parents are a five minute drive away, so I’ve grown up with my extended family being super close and tight-knit… It’s going to be hard, because I’m the first grandchild to be going out of state (and it’s not unlikely I’ll be the last).</p>
<p>But, yeah. Definitely ready for something new and to get into a program that engages me. I’ve been fairly apathetic about academics for a long time now and I’m hoping college can help renew my interest.</p>
<p>I believe someone said that after every college visit, high school seemed way less identifiable. I have to agree. I have already committed to my school of choice and can not wait to leave high school and join that community. Even the slight freshman hazing is fun. For me, it is probably because I am a STEM student and at college I can focus more in those areas rather than in the English and history department(I made sure to get good AP scores so I could get rid of them in college). It could also be because I just don’t like my high school as well.</p>
