Never did I imagine that senior year would come by so quickly. Never did I believe other seniors who claimed that the four years of high school fly by. It really did fly by, so to all those underclassmen, enjoy your last few years. I wish I did. As I'm thinking back about my four years, I have a few regrets.
1) Not trying hard enough in classes. My grades aren't terrible, but I could've tried harder. My GPA is not horrible.
2) I wish I had more fun. I've gone to one football, zero basketball games, zero wrestling matches, etc. Nor have I gone to any high school dances. I may or may not go to prom.
3) I wish I participated in more sports and activities. I only did gymnastics and band for three years. I tried other sports and activities, but I never finished. Freshman year, I attempted swimming, but I wasn't a good a swimmer so I would panic for no reason. There was a part of me that thought I was going to drown. Sophomore year I tried debate because my brother old me it looked good on a resume, but I hate public speaking so I stopped going. I attended a few Latino Club meetings, but, once again, I stopped.
4) I wish I had taken different electives. It would've been so much fun to write for my school's newspaper. It wasn't until junior year where my major changed. Originally, I wanted to be a fashion designer, but that changed during junior year. This year was when I realized that I wanted to be part of my school's newspaper.
5) I suffer of anxiety, so I would never go up to people and try making friends. If they wanted to be my friend, they should contact me. My point is it would've been nice for me to try making friends as I complained about feeling lonely.
Lesson of the day: Enjoy your high school years because you can't relive those four years. It goes really fast.
