<p>I think it's because in six days I figure out it if I'm accepted to the college that I really want to go to, but I'm just really want to skip high school. I don't even care much about prom and grad night, I just want to go NOW. I think it's just the waiting thats getting to me and the not knowing about my future.</p>
<p>Did any of you feel like this when you were a senior? How did you feel when you actually got into college? I know it's going to be hard work but I think I'm ready for it :)</p>
<p>i’m a junior now, and i know how you feel
good luck with your college, and i hope you have a bearable rest-of-hs experience… at least the summer will be awesome!</p>
<p>Yeah that’s the only thing I’m thinking about is summer and college. If I didnt have AP exams I would have been SO DONE a long time ago. And thank you :)</p>
<p>Lol, I found out where I was going in early January (last year, I’m a freshman now) and I basically checked out for the rest of senior year. Didn’t even care much about my AP exams, lol. I was ecstatic when I found out, though. I knew before all my friends and there was such a sense of security. I was so incredibly excited though and so far college has definitely lived up to and exceeded my expectations :)</p>
<p>Enjoy it! I blew off my prom (well I went, got pictures, did the lead-out thing, and pretty much after we walked the stage we walked out the door). It’s something you’ll never get to do again (seriously, how many times in life do you have an excuse to get totally decked out and rent a limo, etc). Senior year of high school is often your last chance to really make some memories with those friends. Instead of worrying so much about college and summer, try enjoying things you have now. Get a group of friends and take a weekend road trip (we used to hit the beach or a great shopping town at least every other weekend). Yes, college is going to be great, but don’t miss out on the present thinking about the future!</p>
<p>I’m a second semester senior too, but don’t wish away your senior year! Try to enjoy the rest of your senior year. Relax and have fun, that’s what I’m doing.</p>

Well I really don’t have many friends so maybe thats why I feel this way. Im really shy so hopefully in college I can have a clean slate and start from scratch. :)</p>
<p>^Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m a HS senior too and I’ve been a loner all throughout high school and I’m just really looking forward to college. I’m going to a giant school in a giant city so I hope I can make some more friends.
I don’t care about prom or graduation much either. I mean, I feel a little sad that I won’t be going to prom or missing almost no one after graduation, but hey, what can you do?</p>
<p>To be honest, even though I went to a really small high school, I was only really close to about 4 people in my class (most of my friends were older and had graduated long before me). But during senior year is when I really started to get to know a lot of my classmates by attending the senior picnic and some of the other social events. It’s a lot easier to get to know people outside of class than it is when you’re in school, especially if your school is really cliquey. But at the social events, more people let loose and there’s not really much of a comfort zone style (you know how everyone sits in certain areas at lunch… when you’re out of the cafeteria, that’s not the case). I almost skipped the senior picnic in exchange for a day of extra sleep. So glad I didn’t since it turned into an over-night camping trip and actually brought me closer to several people I never expected to become friends with, especially so late in school. So take advantage of these opportunities. You might be surprised and find out that someone is going to the same college as you, and then you’ll already be one step ahead in knowing more people in college. :)</p>
<p>I can’t wait either. I’ve become so washed up recently haha just not doing hw, studying, etc. Turning 18 this week won’t help haha. But I am trying to have as much fun as possible right now. My hs is pretty cliquey but I’m making more friends outside of my group and so now is the time to hone your social skills and just have fun</p>
<p>I wish we had senior picnics and stuff like that. Our school is broke and we have like no school spirit at all so people don’t do anything about it and still complain. To be perfectly honest I’m not going to miss that many people except my boyfriend, which I guess is something that’s normal to me. I wouldn’t call them commitment issues but I just have…umm idk, like I’m always that person that stops becoming in contact with someone after we are not in physical contact anymore. Yeah I know its bad. I honestly don’t know why I do it. xP</p>
<p>Honestly, I know you’re not gonna listen to me but hindsight is 20/20, and you’ll realize this once you get to college (especially if you go far away from home). But high school was seriously the best times of my life.</p>
<p>I went to a high school of about 2500 students and I was lucky because coming in as a freshman, I knew a lot of people already from the 2 feeder middle schools just from hanging out and by the time I graduated last year, I’d say I knew a couple hundred of people really well, and around 1500 students knew who I was because I just dicked around in class/sporting events. I got voted Senior Class Clown and Best Sense of Humor in the yearbook every year haha and it was great having people think so highly of me. </p>
<p>Now in college, I have maybe 15 good friends (which is exactly how I like it, to be perfectly honest) but I miss high school, and not having a single care in the world. High school was a breeze, I pulled a 4.5 overall gpa by the time I graduated and I got 5s and 4s on 12 AP tests and I drank like 4 nights a week with my best friends senior year. I went to class because I had to compliments of my parents, but now in college I still drink 4 days a week but it’s so much harder to make yourself go to class haha.</p>
<p>It’s just nice knowing everyone in your grade, seeing the same people 5 days a week for 30-some odd weeks or whatever, and I know my best friends for life were people I was best friends with from kindergarten to middle school to high school especially. </p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, college IS better than high school and I’m literally having the time of my life and can’t even believe I’m almost done with my first year (we get out retardedly early) but it was just nice being a kid, with no responsibilities besides showing up, breezing through school work and partying, not having a care about what I want to do in the future. Next year I have to look at getting an internship, figure out what career path I want to take, keep my grades up with WAAAAAAAAY harder schoolwork, motivate myself to go to class and just figure out my life in general. Seems pretty daunting - so take advantage of being a kid with no responsibilities as long as you can.</p>
<p>Skluffy, I know how you feel as a fellow senior. The worst part for me is my first class of the day, which I have every day at 7:25 AM…I think it’s causing me to have mixed emotions when I wake up in the morning…sometimes I wanna throw my alarm clock, sometimes I wanna lie in bed and ponder for the next 30 mins the point of senior year and why I should get up and go. I think it’s getting worse since it’s second semester and we’ve been accepted to college haha. Let’s just make it through! And btw I definitely agree with angelichaos.</p>
<p>Oh trust me, our school was broke too. The picnic was totally student funded (we all chipped in). We did get them to give us a Friday off to hold it though, but it could be done on a Saturday if necessary. If you’re involved in the SGA, you could bring it up as an option. If not, bring it up to someone that is in the SGA. </p>
<p>It’s not expensive for the students if you have enough people involved. Some students bring bread, some bring sandwich meat, some bring side/drinks, etc. We did ours at a nearby lake camping area’s park. If you explain what it’s for, they might waive the deposit, or atleast cut a break since it’s for students. </p>
<p>A student picnic is a great way for seniors to make some great memories before graduation.</p>
