progress report
As we all know, the school year is approaching the half way mark. Everyone talks about junior year being the hardest year and so far it has lived up to its expectation! Every year I look back at the previous year and think about how easy I had it. When I was in 9th grade, 8th grade seemed like preschool, when I was in 10th grade, nothing was missed more than Human Geography and Bio A, now when I am sitting here in the thick of 11th grade, I miss APUSH, Chemistry, and 10 Honors English. Every year we long for what we once had even though we hated it while we were in it. This year has been consumed by ACT and SAT prep, sports, extracurriculars like stugo and peer mediation, and the endless amounts of homework that come from all 6 angles (6 classes). Even though I am about to self implode, somehow I manage to live another day, write out another essay, and finish another mindless worksheet that I learn nothing from. So to everyone who feels like you would rather be water boarded than go through another week of Junior year, just know that everyone else is going through it, will go through it, or already has and have gotten out with only minor permanent brain damage:)

I can personally relate with nostalgia. Often times when I am doing work for this school year I indeed think about how good I had it last year with APUSH and Chem AP. It seems we never really appreciate what we have until it's gone. We should enjoy what we have and live life to the fullest. Life is fleeting. Carpe Diem.
ReplyDeleteThis post is very true. I often look back at the past and wonder if I can relive it, especially during times of trouble like this year. We can get through this, and even in the future we'll look back and say this wasn't so bad after all.
