Assignment 25: Sofi Tzouanakis

Seeing so many of my close friends graduate this year is such a strange experience. I still see them as kids, just like many of them see themselves. And then I realize I'll be in their exact same place a year from now. I wish I could reverse time and enjoy junior year just a bit longer with my senior friends (excluding all of the schoolwork), but I know now I just have to look forward and make sure my senior year comes out being as successful as theirs. Senioritis has already set in for me as well. All the signs turn towards this: my mom badgering me more than she usually does, the loss of inhibition, and the only willpower I still have is the willpower to turn up. But sadly, I know I have to get my life together and write my college apps so I don't end up regretting every second that I'll turn up senior year (which is going to be too much, most likely). I'm also interested to see how each of my friends are going to react to the impending senior year. Some will succeed, some will crash and burn, and many are going to do the bare minimum to survive (probably me). Yeah, it's probably bad that my expectations for myself are already this low, but I know I'll pull it together. I just need a break, and summer is going to give me that before one of the most important parts of my life begins.
