Junioritis

If I only I was a senior, then I would have just one more day left of high school. I can only wish. Tomorrow is the final day of classes for the seniors attending Kennedy High School and then they officially graduate in just three days after that. They get to have quite the exciting week. This is the same week that makes me sad each year, only because I wish that I could be the one graduating. I have realized the past few days how much I really dislike certain parts of high school, and how I have accumulated a large amount of Junioritis. There is a huge desire to be the one who gets to walk across the stage on Saturday just so I don’t have to deal with another high school year of drama.

In less than three weeks it will finally be summertime and I will begin to enjoy the sunny days swimming in the super hot weather. Until then I will have to work harder than ever, dealing with finals, and the transition to becoming a senior in high school. It doesn’t help that we have an entire week added onto school because of the dumb snow days this past winter. Watching some friends graduate is going to be hard and knowing that I might not ever get to see them again will be even harder. Now it is time for the Class of 2009 to take over the senior bench and the privileges that arise from being the oldest in the school. I am going to enjoy it, but I have to make it there first.

Senior year is going to be better than any of the past three years and the events that are going to happen will be memories to last a lifetime. That is why all juniors wish that they were seniors. It feels like just a year ago when I started high school and I have to admit that it does go much faster than you expect. I can only hope for one year from now, when it is me who gets to leave school early and graduate from high school. Until then I will go from having Junioritis to some serious Senioritis.
