Sophomore year is coming to a close, and I’m not quite sure of my feelings about that. It seems like I should still be that little girl not worried about her future and just living life to the fullest. As that future creeps closer and closer, stress continues to build. Multiple questions bounce around in my head. What am I going to do after high school? How is my life going to go? What if this happens? What if.. The future is one of the scariest things out there.
School teachers and staff keep reminding me to get good grades. The future depends on it. MY future depends on everything that I do and all the choices I make. That is a very scary thought. I am a teenager, I’m going to make mistakes. I think it is a completely stupid thing for people to expect teenagers to know exactly what to do in the future. But that’s just my opinion.
I like high school somewhat. I mean, it’s filled with judgemental, crazy people who try to bully you, but what high school isn’t? I think the key to being happy is to just ignore those people and continue with who you are. I think it is super important to be yourself in high school. It’s a key to survival. I’m ready to get out in the world, but I also don’t think I’m quite ready to leave the nest. I’m scared of the future, but I am also ready to accept it, and I think that is what makes me strong, and why I am able to not get completely stressed out. I think it’s normal for every teenager to go through a healthy amount of stress, but I won’t let my future stress me out, and that is completely okay.
