As senior year is about to end and we're on our final weeks, I can't help but look back and have a weird feeling when thinking about all that happened. Naturally, I have my regrets about not joining certain clubs, not taking certain classes, not working hard enough, not taking opportunities, etc., but I think everything is put into perspective after committing to a unversity and realizing im college-bound in a couple months. Whatever regrets I have don't matter now, and college is a new place with new people and a new environment. I still wonder sometimes why I stressed so much in high school when it all accumulated to an acceptance letter. It was surreal at first, then it was kind of underwhelming. Did I spend countless nights studying and a couple of tears just to get a letter with some words of affirmation? I'm so thankful to have gotten into a great college, and hopefully I'll understand there that the experiences are important as well and that college is not just about the crazy hours of studying.
Something else that still feels surreal to me is how fast this entire year passed. Yes it's cliche but we spent a whole year in quarantine, unable to have a normal school year, and it's already over. In the blink of an eye, it's all over and the endless days of sitting at the same desk on zoom are about to end. I'm looking forward to the new experiences that college will bring and the new people along with it, it'll be a nice change from how socially-deprived I feel right now without being able to see a lot of people. I'm terrified of what the future will bring, but I think all of us are; some of will never see each other again, but I'm still glad that I got to make memories with all these people.
