senior year updates: #1

two years ago my blogger friend Rachel Seo did a series of senior year updates on her blog, and last year my friend Grace Anne did senior updates on her blog as well.  so, to keep it going (primarily since i'm a senior this year ;) i decided to do senior year updates blog series this year! hope you enjoy x

achievments:

so as far as actual things i did this year so far.  well.  great question! xD

I took my first SAT (such a long story please don't ask).
I had my first senior meeting(s).  (man, we waited so many years for this and it's finally here what a time to be alive lol.  also my class is all right.  so that's good i guess)
I got super sick and still made it to school (achievement? i guess... idk man)
I visited my second college (let's just say it was not as good as the first & i kinda don't expect to go here heh)
I started college apps.  (we're just going to call this an achievement okay!!! also props to Abby for being the most supportive friend ever like thank you)
I went THRIFTING. (slightly straying off the academic theme here, but i kinda feel like there was a trend towards thrifitng recently so i dragged my only friend (ha. ha. ha.) along to go thrifitng with me and it was actually kind of fun! i got one sweater (that i'm currently wearing))

feelings:

such a plethora of feelings oh my goodness.  senioritis is a REAL thing, my friends.  and the funny thing is i've literally only had it since this year, so i guess it really is a senior thing....WHO KNEW.  the second funny thing (truly, nothing is fun or funny about school.  kinda just trying to add the entertainment value i know this is sooooo highly entertaining  you're welcome) is that at the end of junior year i was kind of so SO sad to leave school and to not see the then-seniors anymore, but i think i actually mentally graduated with them last year too because this year i have zero sad feelings whatsoever about leaving.  i'm a lot more just CAN WE PLEASE BE DONE WITH THIS SCHOOL YEAR ALREADY or at least just let me go home! please!

and yes.  i saw a tweet that said "don't wish away senior year" and I GET IT.  truly.  it only happens once! (thank GOD) so yes, guys, i'm trying to enjoy it to the best i can.  but don't get me wrong, i will be so, so happy once high school is over and i get to move on to the next phase of life :) BUT.  nevertheless, here we are.  living day by day and learning along the way (oh my goodness did you just see how that rhymed WE ARE LIVING)

so, some other positive reinforcements!! 1) your worth and identity is found in Christ alone, so it doesn't really matter what anyone thinks about you.  forget them!! 2) work hard for the future you want.  3) make your life one you love.   and ultimately, just learn to love the moments you're in, but life is constant change so...keep grinding and work hard for what you want, kiddos.  peace and love.

senior year so far = a few fun moments, increasingly overwhelming workload wth, really boring/depressing/sad/not -fun

:)))))))))
keeping it real, folks


goals:

I figured I should end this post with some goals.  because goals are fun and healthy, you know? (also, this will give me a great starting point for my next senior updates post, so....there you go.) 

hopefully, by the next time a senior updates post rolls around on this blog, i will have:

☆ finished college applications (am i too ambitious? stay tuned to find out bc even i don't know anymore)  ☆ blogged slightly more (teehee) ☆ maintained a slightly healthier schedule ☆ do some more creative work (because after all, that is what i would like to do for my career.  and, yes, blogging is 'creative', but i want to do more.  notice this ambitious theme????)

+++

so i'm pretty sure the stars aren't aligned up there ^^^^, but that's all right because this is a blog post.  not funny? ok.  xD BUT i'm trying to get this post up asap, so, give me some credit. :)

SO.  what's up? are you still in school or out of school? AND HOW'S THAT GOING FOR YOU? :))

xx

autumn
