<p>(fyi im posting this because i'm bored and putting off spanish)</p>
<p>I've always been one of those kids who absolutely hated high school and couldn't wait to leave home and go somewhere far far away, but now that I'm in my last semester, I'm kind of freaking out. Pretty much, once I leave home, I'm never going to live there again. I feel weird because everyone here is freaking about what college they'll get into but I'm just worried about leaving in general. I don't know why I'm worried; i just am. I wish i could be excited about this last semester...</p>
<p>same! I kind of dreaded going to school EVERY single day last semester because it was that hellish. But now that the application rush over, I just kind of want to sit back and enjoy what little time I have -- it's such a weird feeling, knowing that you're only going to be permanently living at home for another few months! And with my friends all going to various schools at opposite ends of the country... just makes me a little sad :( I'm also worried I'll be homesick if I go to school really far away, because I've NEVER slept away from home for more than a week, lol (and that was summer camp)...</p>
<p>I just like the idea of having my own room and teachers/friends who like me.
College should be interesting, though -- a new and challenging experience.</p>
<p>I'm afraid of college because I will have to teach myself most of the material--I really depend on my high school teachers as of now to help me understand the material. I'm terrible with "teach-yourself" situations and college is just that!</p>
<p>i think many, almost all high school seniors are going through this right now. i know i am. you should'nt be soo worried, we are all in the same boat of going to new place away from home, family and friends. just try to enjoy the last days of school and the last summer before college.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. It just seems like everyone's counting down the days until graduation and now I'm like, woah. I'm applying mainly to big city schools where none of my friends are applying so I pretty much won't know a soul there. It almost makes me want to go the state school where pretty much half of my graduating class is going. </p>
<p>I wish I would have spent less time hating high school and actually enjoyed my teachers and friends and family. I think it would be easier to leave knowing that I had made the best of it, but I didn't and now I realize that I missed out on a lot by sulking the past three years. It makes me sad to think that I only have 60 some school days left.</p>
<p>College will be amazing. Don't worry about it - you're gonna have a great time.</p>
<p>Anyways, you still have half a year before college, and spring term you'll probably have no work anyways. Spend that time with your family and friends, have some fun, and be happy about entering this new phase of your life. You don't want to spend the first term/year at college regretting your time at high school, right?</p>
<p>I'm really excited too I guess, but at the same time I've really grown to like my hometown and friends. It's just weird because six months ago I would have told you I hated pretty much everything about my school and town.</p>
<p>I'm also sort of sad to leave. BUT I am definitely going to have a good semester - because I intentionally chose classes that are 1) interesting and 2) all my friends are in. Not easy classes, but, well, easy classes can be dull.</p>
<p>Stuck-on-1700: I disagree. I think if you tell yourself you will be happy no matter what, you develop a higher tolerance. For example, I haven't slept well for a while now... but I am determined to be happy, so I am. :)</p>
<p>I'm feeling kind of the same way. Most of my semesters have pretty much sucked, but now that the pressure is (kind of) off this semester, I'm having so much fun in and outside of my classes. It makes me sad that I'm going to have to leave this right when it's getting good.</p>
