Our junior year of high school is mutually agreed upon to be the hardest year, despite its anticipation of the final year. Sr. thesis’ must be written and plans for college are now thrown upon you; and you start needing to make bigger and bigger decisions that will change your life forever start at the sunshine age of sixteen, which is odd considering the fact you still have to ask to go to the bathroom. In less than a few months 2018 is already going to be over and we are inching closer to the end goal that everyone must meet at one point, graduation. It's a scary and exciting thought that soon we will be out and alone, making our own decisions and writing out the stories that will tell our lives. There are some of us who want that now, and there are others that are clinging to what is left of their childhood before they lose everything to a day that we have known would come since we could think logically. For me it is pieces of both, the desire to be out on my own and seeing the world with no one to tell me what to do is the only thing keeping me going some days, and on others I am afraid of what could happen once the two worlds collide and I am truly faced with having to do everything with more rock solid consequences.
Starting this year we gain so many new opportunities to show that we truly are ready to be a part of the adult world, many of us are getting our licenses, taking jobs, or starting our college search all before we have even had to change to take our ACT. I personally have started my college search and am making lists of universities how each one is different; there is still two years ahead of us. So maybe time is not as close to spent as it may feel, but the thought that something so huge is both equally close and far away is enough to make you feel an odd indifference to the ticking clock.
