A sense of uncertainty is constantly crossing my mind as my senior year is approaching. I have plenty of friends who already know what there going to be doing for the rest of there life. I, on the other hand, I'm still trying to get through high school. I have no clue what college I want to go to, or what I'm going to major in, let alone how I want to live and who I'll be for the rest of my life. Thankfully, I know that I'm not the only person in this position. I know lots of kids who have a plan, but the majority are students just like me, a little bit clueless and undecided. I always told myself that I would have a plan. And actually, I did. I believe it was when I was in first grade, when I decided that I would make a living by moving to Hollywood and be a singer/movie star. I still wouldn't mind going through with that plan, but really, I think I'm too good for Hollywood. They couldn't handle my goodness. So back to square one, what am I going to do with my life?
I know one thing is for sure. I'm going to college. Not just for the crazy partying, and for the idea of for once in my life I'll be a single independent person making my own decisions. No, not for those reasons...Okay well maybe that has a tiny bit to do with it, or even a great deal. But I'm still also looking forward to college because I know that I'll finally be exposed to learning about something that will get me somewhere in life. Kindergarten through senior year is all preparation for getting released into the real world. Once your in college, your basically there. It's when students start to be treated as adults. In my eyes, that's pretty exciting...scary, but exciting. And I hear great things about going to college. People are always talking about the college days, and how they were by far the best in their time, and how people don't want it to end, they just want to stay in college forever! Seems extreme, but I guess it's just that good. Every kid that is fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go to college is guarenteed at least one moment in their whole college career, that when they look back on, will put a smile on their face. Of course college will always bring upon some real pain in the ass moments as well. I can't say I know from experience, but I know every goes through them.
