High School Sentiments

     I graduated from high school last week. I still can’t believe it’s all over; I remember walking through the halls as a freshman and not knowing where the nearest bathroom was located. Just last month, I couldn’t wait until graduation because that would mean that all the pressure would go away. I was anxious about what to wear to senior brunch, nervous about my AP scores, and emotional over my second semester grades. I wanted it all to be over.

     In the same week, I turned 18 and graduated; now i’m looking back at how many milestones I’ve accomplished in just a week. I didn’t realized how much i changed until I was walking to my graduation seat. I sat in the first row because of my class rank and I couldn’t help but cry as all of my classmates walked past me. I am not usually sentimental but it got me because I had always rushed things without enjoying the moment. Now that it’s all gone I feel like I have nothing left but my diploma. 

     Well this will be my last post with the tag: highschooledna. I will be switching over to collegeedna now. 

xoxo, High School Graduate Edna 

Advice to the high schoolers: Enjoy your time and don’t worry too much.

- Yesterday was my last day of highschool and I could not have been more happy. My administrators invited us to a “Senior Picnic” on the football fields and then locked us out, telling us to go home. There were students who had to scramble for rides because they took the bus home. This was the first year they did this and nobody was informed that Seniors had to leave after the picnic. 

-Today was also my last day of Michaels! Thank god, I can finally use this summer to work on my mental health. 

-My 18th birthday is on Wednesday and I almost forgot because I’ve been so busy. Should I even celebrate at this point? It seems like birthdays are becoming more irrelevant because it just seems like any other day. I even have my AP Macro makeup exam in the morning and my congressman internship in the evening. 

-Graduation in T-10 days! 

-I got to see my grandparents a few days ago after a couple of years.

-Today and tomorrow is senior skip day because of the dates. I will be in school because I care too much about my grade to skip school for the beach. 

-I started taking virtual tours around Bryn Mawr because I couldn’t go to the admit day and I’m so excited. A part of me is scared because I will no longer be the naive young girl who focused solely on her academics.  I’m going to have to worry about my laundry, food, and budget. Speaking of which, I started a budget binder for next year! 

-My dad keeps bashing Bryn Mawr and it’s getting on my nerves. He wants me to transfer out of there into Penn after my first two years. I’m going into Bryn Mawr with the intent to stay there for my Bachelors degree, however, I have to keep lying to him that I would transfer out. I haven’t even been on campus yet and he already wants me to leave. My biggest fear is that if he finds out that I won’t transfer, he would cut my monthly allowance and I won’t be able to finance myself through college. 

-It’s less than a month til my last day of school and I am so excited ahh!

-A month until my 18th birthday; damn life goes by really fast. 

-I can’t wait for this to be over. I’m so stressed and moody

-I got my deposit for Bryn Mawr waived and I’m so relieved because there was no way I could come up with that type of money in a month

I am officially committed to Bryn Mawr College

My dream school basically gave me a full ride and I am so excited!

-I got to hold my baby sister for the first time today. I don’t have the best personal life but it made me really happy when I got to hold her. She’s about 6 months old and I didn’t know about her existence until about 3 months ago. She was so fragile and fat; her cheeks reminded me of tomatoes and her head is huge. 

-I bought a month pass to my pure barre gym so hopefully I’ll be fit enough for the swim or crew team at Bryn Mawr 

-I think I’m finally getting over him; I miss the way he used to make fun of me for using a tape measurer for everything and the way he gloats about his 6′0 physique.

- I started Michaels today and I don’t think I’ve had more fun with yarn in my life; I feel like a cat 

- I still can’t believe I’m going to college. I’ve been dreaming about this moment for years and it’s finally happening. I can’t wait to eat the different varieties of philly cheese steaks and explore the plethora of coffeeshops along the Main Line.

Everything worked out perfectly.
