so i've been avoiding thinking about it as if it were the plague. i always figured that it wasn't time yet to start stressing over it. i had lots of time to figure it out. no big deal. things will fall into place and by the time it comes around, i would know what i wanted to do with it.
what is it?
college.
in less than a year i will be in the college that i chose. i will be working towards a career that i chose. i will be doing the activities that i chose. i will have the rules and expectations that i chose.
that totally and completely freaks me out.
i don't know what the heck i want to do with my life yet. things haven't fallen into place like i thought they would, nor do i have some sense of clarity of where i want to spend my future education at.
the act is a little over a month away. it's crunch time. study study study. i feel stupid that i am one of the few who is taking this test so seriously and studying so hard for it. but the truth is, i am studying hard because i want to. it's the challenge. i want to do better. and my family wants me to do better. right now, i can't think of a bigger disappointment than not getting the score i want. somewhat rediculous, i know.
for as long as i can remember, my parents have put so much emphasis on my education. i don't mind that, because i know it's important. i just hate to think i could screw things up now.
this is stressful.
i know it will get better. i has to. it does for everyone. it just seems so far away.
eh...it's go time.
i'm a big kid now. |
