Happy Saturday! This week I got a major wake-up call: this time next year, I'll be getting ready for college. College was always kind of that thing that seemed so far away, and that even though I knew it would eventually happen, it would be a long time before I actually had to start worrying about it. Well, that "someday" magically turned into right now.
It's so crazy to think that for the first time ever that I can remember, I won't be living in this house with my parents. Also, I won't be attending the only school I've ever gone to. I know I still have another year left, and I know I'm not always the biggest fan of my school, but it's where I've grown up. My entire life (almost) has happened while I've been at this school, and I can't imagine not going there. Ever. Even though my school has made me miserable at times, it has ultimately prepared me for living my life to its full potential, and I know that I owe all future successes to it. Who knew I could get so sentimental about this school?! But really, it will always represent home to me.
Anyway, I've been researching scholarships and essay-writing and everything in between in order to be as prepared as possible for college before my senior year has even begun! It's kind of annoying to worry about this stuff during the summer, but it means I'll be able to focus on school work once school starts while most of my other classmates will be trying to figure out where they want to go. Wish me luck in this whole "getting serious about college" process!
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
