Senioritis Rubbing Off on Us Juniors?
March 15, 2006
There is only one more quarter left of school before I am officially a senior. After seeing all of the seniors slowly fade out of the school regime, I do not know whether they are just extremely burnt out from doing homework and attending classes or whether they feel that since they have already been accepted to college, what is the point of going to school? It is hard to be a junior and watch the seniors take school so lightly. Junior year is such an important year, and the seniors are starting to rub off on us juniors. Graduation and college feel so close, and I am ready for all my hard work for the past two and a half years of high school to pay off already.
The college freshmen who graduated high school last year are in town right now for their spring break. Now, I get to hear all of the positives and negatives about being in college. Most of them seem pretty excited about the college partying lifestyle. Also, a lot of people say college is so easy, but what I have recently been hearing is that college is as easy as a person makes it. If someone wants to challenge herself, then college can truly be as difficult as she would like.
I think the hardest thing when facing the new college life will be organizing my time wisely. As my high school career progresses, I have more time off during the school day to either be productive and do my homework or just hang out with my friends. Freshman year, I would have been in the library, finishing my math homework, making sure I did not have to take home all seven of my textbooks in one night. Now, I find it harder and harder to force myself into that library when it is not vital. After listening to all of the freshmen college students, I hope that when I come home from my first spring break from college, I have extremely positive feedback for all of the searching juniors.
