Finally free of college acceptance doom

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>All the community service I've ever done has been completed with one thing in mind...college. The lack of passion is horrible, but it's true. </p>

<p>I'm a senior and have sent out most of my college apps. I've done everything I can do to try and convince these colleges that I'm their girl....and now I'm finally feeling the freedom.
Today I went and volunteered at a church. We made thanksgiving lunches and passed them out to the homeless. It was so incredibly rewarding that I hope to participate in something similar next Thanksgiving, or even better, start a program similar to this at my college.
I also suddenly want to learn to play the guitar. I start lessons next weekend and I want to start volunteering at the old folks home next semester when classes lighten up.</p>

<p>A lot of people on CC have been fortunate enough to discover their passions as a freshman in high school, but I am really thankful to finally be free of the "college acceptance doom." I am doing everything because I want to and it feels greatttttttttt. </p>

<p>Anyone else feeling this way?</p>

<p>Yes, now I don't have to impress my teachers anymore.
Which, paradoxically, has caused them to like me more. I think.</p>

<p>I envy you so much!
I hate being junior, wish I was in the same spot you are.</p>

<p>naidu- only 9 more months. I'm a junior too and can't wait for this. Just be optomistic. 9 months goes by like lightning</p>

<p>I won't be free until February, when this semester ends. :(</p>

<p>Nine months, kinda like carrying a baby. It'll be over before you know it, but not before giving birth! XD</p>

<p>I'm turning Gothic or emo as a senior I bet . . .</p>

<p>This is going to be a long, slow 9 months :(
I should be optimistic and think of all the holidays, but it gets ruined when I think that I have to study during those holidays</p>

<p>It's not bad if you have something you enjoy. I am a junior and I'm loving it!</p>

<p>I'm finally done with college applications! so now I can stop worrying and actually enjoy things!</p>
