The epidemic that is, SENIORITIS.

- October 20, 2016

It has officially hit me, that its my senior year and that these moments count. I mean sure I've had senioritis since preschool, and the whole academic of school is kind of meh but still its crazy how fast this is all going by. I've reached this point where dressing up is no longer my main focus, I find myself using the term "eh, I'm a senior" way too often and its scary. Do you ever just procrastinate, literally? Because I do that with everything and anything lately. (Why am I like this?!) I am constantly feeling incredibly sleepy during class, and I catch myself saying oh I'll do my homework tonight. which never happens. You could say the case of senioritis has hit me really hard. And I'm wanting to graduate, drop out and make everything slow down all at once. Have you ever just stepped back from a situation and observed? I did this the other day during p.e while we were sitting in the commons because the gym was being used. Instead of goofing off with my friends I just sat there and watched. Its so weird and fascinating to think about how the school systems work. You literally are thrown into a classroom with people you don't know on the first day, and everyone is different from each other. We all have different views, family dynamics, background stories and so much more, yet somehow we all work together. Its just really cool to me to think about. Have you also noticed how many cool murals are in schools. At Gk in the commons there is this really pretty one on the wall of a mountain and I never noticed it until this week. There's just so many cool things about school, aside even the content we learn. You see these smiling faces in the hall, and sometimes you exchange hellos and such. But when there are school events you come together like you've been best friends for ages. For example tonight was senior night for our football game, and it was one of my favorite experiences so far. I hung out with people I didn't even know before tonight, and now it feels like we are so close of friends. And as I sat in the stands laughing and dancing with my friends this feeling of wow, this was my last football game during high school and I made lasting memories. I find myself wanting more and more and beating myself up for not getting involved with these kind of things more. I'm regretting not participating in pep assemblies more at Emerald Ridge. If I could tell my sophomore self any words of advice it would be that you aren't too cool to stand up and sing the chants and such. High school goes by quick. Heck we've been in school for a month and some change and it feels like its been 2 weeks. And this all sounds incredibly cliché but GK is starting to feel more and more like home and I'm constantly reminding myself to make every second count. You only get so many football games, assemblies, dances and concerts in your life time, so enjoy them. Tonight was one of the coolest games I've ever been to. We laughed so so much, danced, threw paint on each other, made lots of jokes. Screamed its lit like thirty times. Took at least 45 pictures, I am officially one like 12 peoples snapchats stories so that's pretty cool. And I dabbed so much that I'm kind of the dab queen now. I am enjoying every single moment of high school. Although having fun is amazing I also need to get my crap with homework in order. Is there a cure for senioritis?? Indeed, its called motivation. WHICH I so happen to be lacking, but it will come back in due time.
Get lots of sleep, drink lots of water, capture every moment even if that makes you the kid who takes pictures of everything. Get your homework done, make new friends and laugh until you cry and dance (or dab) like no one is watching. Also did I mention get your homework done?!
