in the past couple of weeks, everyone has been stressed out for whatever reason, be it college, the idea of leaving high school, prom, or the never-ending work that is ap lit (who knew that senior year meant having so much work?). i suppose that everyone has dealt with it in their own way: holing themselves up in their room, posting every two seconds on this addiction that we call livejournal, or screaming and crying on the phone to friends. but the overwhelming melancholy is something that everyone feels and that everyone has to come to terms with. personally, i've had to be ok with not fulfilling dreams and goals, and realizing that whatever i end up doing (in any aspect of my life) will be the best thing that could have happened. i've had to be ok with the unknown. and even though that hasn't been fun (actually, it sucked a lot), i think that i'm a better person for it: i've learned to be happy for others even when i'm not happy with my own life, and i've been able to get excited about a school that i thought i would never go to. and i think once we finally get through this week, we will all be able to heave a big sigh of relief and have a wonderful spring break.
again, best of luck to everyone as we hear from the rest of our colleges.
