I'm glad we started talking about this on here because it is a huge issue and is going on right now in every one of our lives. College terrifies me too...
yeah I don't know about you guys, but something really hit me recently and I realized... this is our last homecoming at Fremd.
I love high school, everything about it. The people, the hallways (not the new hospital looking offices...but anyway..) the football games, the passing periods, the spirit days... EvErYtHiNg! I love it. And the idea of college is exciting and going to be a blast, but its also a scary idea. As we continue with our senior year, I hope we all enjoy every last bit of it... soak up as much Billy Fremd as you can. Because even though we will fall in love with whatever university we end up going to, there's never going to be a place like high school again in our lives.
Also, about applications...
my mom was pressuring me to the max to get them done before school started. I procrastinated a lot, but I squeezed in time to work on them between dinner and homework, or practice, and over time I eventaully finished them. Once you get them done, it is big weight off your shoulders... so as tough as it is, I strongly suggest setting some of your free time aside and just finishing them up. Once you get started they really arent that bad and dont take Too long.
Although its a huge weight of your shoulders, it also begins a little bit of fear and anxiety in you the day your applications get mailed out. I cannot stop thinking about the fact that it is out of my hands now, and if the school I want to go to doesn't say yes, I can't reapply. That's it. So I keep praying and hoping I get into the main schools I want to get into, and that I find out soon. Because I always have a little stressed thought in my head about... "Hey, wait a minute... what if they dont say yes?"
Good luck with your essays and apps, everyone!
