Senior year...

This post is for anyone to read, not that I can particularly control that, it is on the internet after all, but directed toward my fellow highschool seniors. I don't know about you, but senior year has been pretty rough for me, especially as of late. I've been pretty stressed, and on the verge of tears a fair bit this week ( I am not a person that cries often. It takes something big or several smaller things to really make me cry.). I just want you guys to know if you are having a hard time with senior year, you aren't alone. If you aren't that is fantastic, congratulations, keep doing whatever you're doing to not make it rough. 

So anyway, yeah, senior year is kinda been difficult. (Mandatory) Schooling is over in six months. Even though most of my schooling has been at home, junior and senior years I've been at a "regular school", and I've gotten used to it. And some of my homeschooling friends may holler at me and say homeschooling isn't irregular. I'm not saying that, all I'm saying by "regular" (in quotes, mind you) is that it's a school you get up early every morning and you are at a building for academics all day every day. Homeschooling is wonderful, I simply need a way to differentiate. Anyway, my current school is now my norm, and regardless of how I am finishing school, it's over in six months. Then I go off to college. Possibly a couple hours away, possibly close enough I would still live at home and commute, I haven't really decided yet. 

College, That's a new thing. Kind of an intimidating thing. And if you're a senior (or anything really) and haven't figured out what college to go to yet, or what you want to do with your life, that is a-okay. I just very recently started thinking about college and life after highschool. 

I feel like I'm just sort of rambling on, I may not be, but I feel like it so I probably am. Lists help me keep things in order. Therefore...

Things stressing me out at the moment:

• Homework- more specifically, my CCP* course. College level English is not an easy thing, especially  when it is A) meant for (I believe) two semesters and is being done in one B) mostly writing essays, which I really do not enjoy C) giving me a bunch of homework. I typically don't have a whole lot of homework, but I do for this class! -_- College professors like to think you're some sort of superhero or that you don't have any other classes. Or both. For most people, this is untrue. So college courses are always fun. :-s
• School ending/graduation/potentially losing contact with my friends I've made at school. -This tends to happen, life just gets in the way and you fall out of contact with 99.7% of people you considered friends in highschool. This happened with my co-op I did for freshman and sophomore years of highschool. I had some awesome friends, and life just got in the way, and I don't talk to them anymore. Occasionally we'll see each other and exchange a 'hey, how's it going?' but that's not a conversation with a friend like I used to have. 
• My entire reality changing- moving onto college, moving out, whether it be to dorms or my own place, having to take care of all the chores. It'll be easier for one person than having six people in the house, but nonetheless. Now don't get me wrong, I'm excited to move on in life; have new adventures, meet new people, maybe get married. But it's also a very daunting thing.
• Trying to balance life in general- I'm really trying to finally get my room put together after moving in this summer, and I'm so close, but haven't had much time. I have a social life I enjoy participating in. I also was trying to do NaNoWriMo to an extent, that just didn't really go well at all. SLEEP. I think most, or all, teenagers are balancing on the brink of not having nearly enough sleep. Family, I love 'em, they get really annoying at times. I am quite glad I have my own room. .-.

*CCP- College Credit Plus- a program where highschool (maybe younger) students can take college level courses and earn credits at no charge.

Did I scare you younger-than-seniors yet? Joking. (Mostly...) If I did, I apologize, I'm probably overreacting to a lot of this, it comes from being in drama for several years. You have to make sure the people in that back of the audience know exactly what is going on onstage. Thankfully I have my friends, prayer, and music to keep me sane through this mess of madness.

I hope you enjoyed, or at least related?  And just so you guys know, you can always message me if you want to talk, highschool difficulties or not. I'm more than willing to be a listening ear.
