It seems that my final high school semester is finally here. It’s almost hard to believe but no matter how much I question it, it’s still remains. I feel like I should be excited, as most normal people probably are, but all I feel is fear. This is because I still have so many dreadful things to get done that I’ve just been putting off. And on top of that I have to start thinking about what I’m going to do after high school. I know for certain that I will be attending COS but what will I do after that? Everyone knows that going to college is usually the right way to go but what do you do once you’re done? Do you just walk out and a job is magically handed to you? Do you struggle trying to find something to do with your life, just like you would have done even if you chose not to go to college? Unfortunately, I feel like that’s the answer. I don’t really know. All I can say is that I feel completely lost.
Adding on to what I mentioned, I’ve been worried about is my community service hours. I’ve been progressing a lot as I now have 13 hours completed. The last event that I participated in was the Olive Bowl clean up. As I’m new to the whole, community service thing, it was a really interesting experience. Interesting, but also a lot of work. My friends and I tried to help out as much as we could, so that involved doing things I’ve never really done before like digging, pulling weeds, and painting, strange enough. Although, it was all worth it as I got five hours done and actually got some thanks from members of the community. I’ve done a lot but I’m still worried I won’t get all the hours done.
Also, since it’s a new semester I’ve been exposed lots of new work and assignments in all my classes. And of course that includes my unfortunate switch from US government to economics. I found government as a really simple class that I already knew a lot about so going from that to something I have no knowledge in hasn’t been easy. My experience so far in my economics class has been a bit strange. It’s a lot different than any other class I’ve been in and the concepts are a bit confusing, so far, and it’s really nothing like what I imagined it would be. Although, I still don’t really enjoy the class, especially since the projects are a lot more difficult than they were in government. My current project involves planning a fake wedding and I really don’t find it interesting at all, I have no idea how I’m going to get it done.
Overall, I hope this final semester ends up well since I haven’t really been enjoying senior year. All I’ve been exposed to is stress so I’m starting to question anyone that has ever regarded senior year as “fun”.
