B16 Year



I’ve been a senior for almost two full months now but I have not felt like a senior until just a couple days ago. (Except for the first day of school). Even walking through the halls at school everyday, passing all the underclassmen and not looking up to anyone, I have not felt like a senior.
-       We have open campus and can leave school grounds, so what?
-       We sit in the senior section now, so what?
-       All the freshmen look up to us the most, so what?
It just has not felt like we were seniors until the other day when my friends and I were trying to decide on a good Halloween costume and figure out plans for Halloween night. My friend said that we should have out “annual sleepover” and then it hit me. This would be our last Halloween together. How crazy is that!? And how sad it that? It's so weird that after so many years of dressing up and going out together on Halloween, this was my last year doing that with all my friends. The “lasts” of everything are the things that make me feel like a senior.
-The last first day of school
-The last Halloween
-The last home Friday night football game
Even thinking about the upcoming things that will be the last things of high school ...
-The last formal dance
-The last New Years Eve
-The last Winter/February/April vacation
-The last day of school

Every year goes by so fast to me but everyone, and I mean every upperclassman that I have ever talked to, says that senior year flies by. So I can’t imagine how I’ll feel on graduation. It’s already been two months, which is weird because I feel like we just started.

  1. It's so true, and crazy to think about. There are so many emotions of being a senior, happy, sad, nervous. It's everything. Even as freshman we all could not wait, and now it here. It's crazy.

  2. It really does feel like school just started! Its also weird how these "lasts" really are the last of so many things. I think that by recognizing them we cherish these lasts more.

  3. I feel like this year has gone by so slowly!!! Especially with college and the stress of it all. Its sad that this is the last time to be with our grade.. for the most part. But we are all getting closer together because of it!
