Hello!
I am a rising senior who starts school on Monday (yes, I know this may feel early to some). All summer, I have been so excited for senior year to start, but now that it’s so close, the jitters are kicking in! I’ve been really nervous and uptight the last couple of days. I’m also feeling myself start to worry about future events I have little or no control over. For example, I got my schedule recently, and all of my teachers but one are male, the complete opposite of last year (I’m female btw). This isn’t a bad thing by any means (I’ve heard some awesome things about my English teacher), but I’m wondering how I’ll adjust to this since it’s a total 180 from last year. And of course, college applications are looming, and although I have the first drafts of my essays written and many strong portfolio pieces, I still don’t feel ready! (I plan to major in Animation).
Aside from all of these concerns, there are many things I’m looking forward to. I attend a career tech school in which I am part of an amazing program with a fantastic teacher, who I’ll thankfully have again this year. There are several ECs that I am excited to continue with, plus other things like senior photos and my school’s talent show. Plus, there’s the whole college application process; it’s exciting, yet nervewracking!
Honestly, at this moment, I feel like a mess, haha. All of this excited and nervous energy is churning in my system, and it’s making me kind of nauseous. I know there’s no point in worrying because everyone tells me that I’m taking the right steps towards my future and all that, but I tend to obsess over the future anyway. Anyone else in the same boat, whether you’re a senior or not?
