Being a senior has never really felt that real to me, until now. The end of our high school lives are coming to an end, and it is all starting to hit. We have been told this whole time to ‘enjoy it while it lasts, because it all goes by so fast.’ Personally, I didn’t think that was true, I wished for it to be over as fast as possible. But now I’m in this place of confliction with many other students about to graduate with this thought of, “I wish I had more time, but also I can’t wait to graduate.¨ 

Don’t get me wrong, I am so happy to finally be done with high school. I am happy with all the memories and friends I have made along the way that I will definitely reminisce about. The friends I am graduating with I hope to keep for a lifetime. But highschool was so hard. Especially senior year the pressure really rises and senioritis hits HARD. You get so tired of the work and the people, while all you look forward to is graduation. At one point you feel like giving up, and just not putting that same effort in. Even when it hits the last quarter when you have absolutely no energy to be putting out but now your diploma is resting on what your grades are printed out to be. 

All in all, at the end of the year it finally hits that point of your last day in high school. It’s joyful, but also sad. Starting new adventures, yet leaving your old adventures behind. It’s a tough thing to process but also so exciting. With that senior year finally comes to an end.
