Senior Year Jitters

School starts back up tomorrow and I am anything but prepared. I know it's my Senior Year and I should be happy about it, but the truth is-I'm not. Because with school comes stress, sleep deprivation, college apps, depression...you get the idea. I really want this to be a fun year. I want it to be better than last year. You know, after this is University. Which is a step closer to real life.

Real life. A lot of times I think that education should serve more than the purpose of merely providing a possible future job. I think with education should also accompany life lessons. I think the only way school ever prepares us for real life is that it makes us realize that nothing lasts forever. Don't worry, I won't go into another endless rant about how I despise education systems around the world. No, I'm just stating an observation.

Anyways, back to my life and me. Well because, I am definitely important to myself. I shouldn't be, but I'm scared about this year. You know, every year before school starts, you build up hopeless expectations for yourself. Very few of those you actually live up to, the rest are tucked under the rug as disappointments. I feel like this year might be the same. But I shouldn't be so pessimistic.

New year, new friends, new teachers, new classes...clean slate! So my only wish for this year is to be memorable (in a good way of course!). I might not see some of these people ever again, so I want to make it count. You know how they say life is not measured by the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away? Yeah I want a lot of such moments. I want to look back with smile on my face and tears in my eyes and remember how amazing this time was. Alrighty, it's 11:40 pm and I want to get a decent amount of sleep before the first day.

Au Revoir!
