41 Thoughts Of A Graduating High School Senior

Pixabay

As my senior year wraps up, I've started to come across a sort of existential crisis. I've been waiting for the day I graduate and go off to college, but now I'm realizing there are things I have to worry about like paying for college, making food, making new friends, and just overall... what will happen next? All of us have these kinds of questions and thoughts rushing through our minds, so I figured I'd write down the ones that seem the most important.

1. What is college?

2. How do you cook food? Do I get to eat out every day now?

3. How often do I have to come visit?

4. Do I know anyone going to my college?

5. Where am I going to live?

6. How do I get a roommate?

7. What kind of people is going to be at my college?

8. Do I really have to go to school today?

9. What's the point in T4 when none of it matters?

10. Do I have to take my exams?

11. What are finals?

12. How much does tuition costs?

13. Where can I get scholarships?

14. Another college essay?

15. How big is my dorm room?

16. Are there any summer assignments?

17. Please don't let there be summer assignments

18. What am I going to do this summer?

19. Is college REALLY that hard?

20. What did I learn in the last 4 years?

21. When do I get my cap and gown?

22. What college are they going to?

23. I should've applied to that college (I SO would've gotten in)

24. Did I work that hard when I was an underclassman?

25. Did I pick the right major?

26. Can I change my major?

27. What jobs can I even get with this major?

28. If only I tried a little harder....oh well

29. Crap, I should really study for my AP Test tomorrow

30. What cords do I get?

31. How many tickets do I get for graduation?

32. I don't have to care about the second semester right?

33. If I fail this class can I still graduate?

34. Crap, I might fail this class

35. I need to talk to my counselor about this class

36. I wonder if this teacher has noticed me sleeping through their class every day

37. Does it even matter if they do notice?

38. I'm sleepy

39. No way I will EVER take an 8 a.m.

40. College = Freedommmmm!!!

41. College is gonna be great (I hope)!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

1. Why are towels considered dirty when you get out of the shower clean?

2. Who closes the bus door once the bus driver gets off?

3. Why is there a "d" in "fridge" but not in "refrigerator"?

4. If you drop soap on the floor is the floor clean or the soap dirty?
