Hello Class of 2018! We are already halfway to our graduation, so let's take the time to pause and think about what exactly it feels like to finally be juniors. All of this time that we have spent in our lectures/studio classes will be worth it in two more years. Then we will finally be forced into the adult world; that's a scary thought.

1. It seems like only yesterday you were giggling with your friends at high school.

2. But the summers home give you opportunities to share stories.

Thinking back to the past two years, it has been full of:

3. Confusion about being on your own for the first time.

4. Learning that you aren't the best at everything.

5. Focussing in the library was very difficult.

6. And sleep was a rare thing.

7. Sometimes the stress got to you and crying was the only option.

7.5. Seriously, crying really sucked.

8. The work was definitely hard.

9. But over the past 2 years, you learned who you were and where you were going.

10. And in the end, we are all moving forward and we are going to be seniors in no time.
