The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get when all of your stress starts to fade away. Today it feels like a firefly in the dark summer heat, but it's still something to smile about. When I think about how anxious I was in November, filling out my college applications, I almost want to laugh. I had myself convinced that the hardest part was getting the applications done. But I was wrong. The hardest part is getting into the school you want to attend, then having to decline your acceptance because you can't afford it. The hardest part is applying for housing on time when your log in doesn't work. The hardest part is realizing that you only have three months left of high school and your future is still up in the sky, dangling above you, half mocking you as you frantically try to troubleshoot your housing glitch problems. Still, I try to remember the fireflies. Trap them in little jars and keep them in my pocket, so when I feel like my headache is larger than my head can hold, I can remember that there is always something to smile about. That nothing lasts forever and it's just as sweet as bitter.
