We have all been there. Every time you tell someone that you are a high school senior, you get a response that makes you want to roll your eyes. For the class of 2017, we get to deal with this and other sentimental things for the next year of our lives. Although some people have their next four years figured out already, and some do not even have their next four months figured out, as long as you study these 20 things you will encounter, at least you will have a good responses for next time.
1.) The inevitable question: What do you want to do with your life? My answer: I am only 17, I have no clue!
Recommended for you
2. The inevitable response when you actually answer that question honestly:I never pictured you as a journalist! (Right, because my position on the school newspaper was not a total giveaway.)
3.) “You know, college is not for everyone.”
Well, it is for me.
4.) You should look into (insert school they went to 30 years ago.) Yes, you told me that the last time you saw me. Have you seen how much their tuition costs nowadays?
5.) “It is your last year of ‘firsts!’”
Stop, I know that! It is confusing to think about but I am aware! Sort of!
6.) If someone is not suspended or hurt after spirit week, did it really happen?
7.) “Where do all of your friends want to go to college?”
Far away from where I want to go! RIP squad.
8.) You know, (insert every school ever) is a "party school."
9.) *Under class men run the other way when they see you and your friend group walking.* … I guess you are scary when you are a senior?
10.) Did you hear about (insert senior that's dating a sophomore)?
11.) Did you hear about (insert senior that's dating a freshmen)?
12.) "I'm going to every dance this year regardless of whether I have a date or not!”
13.) Asking your closest friend to be your date to semi... again.
14.) Sending countless emails to your guidance counselor asking how to fill out college applications. And to review your scholarship essay. And FAFSA.
“I know you showed me this at our last two meetings, but am I doing it right?”
15.) Your friend: I applied to 3 colleges
You: Wait.. Should I be doing that already?
16.) "I am a senior, I do what I want!"
*doesn't do homework once, sees how much your GPA goes down, never misses an assignment again.*
17.) The thought of not having the best school year ever makes you emotional.
Even when things are going great.
18.) Every school event makes you emotional. Even the ones you dread.
19.) You suddenly love all of your classmates, even the ones you have never gotten along with.
20.) You are in denial that high school is going to end.
