I'm Back

I haven't posted in a little over two months. I fully regret the decision to stop blogging. The Daily Times gave me a great opportunity and I sadly neglected it. I am on vacation right now but when I get back I'll post. It will be from an interview that I had a month ago. I'll be posting for now on atleast twice a week.

Growing up

Most high schoolers want to graduate and go on to become an adult. Not knowing the responsibilities old age brings on a person. Some just want the freedom without the stress. Some just want to be older so they can legally drink. Some just want to College and live their life because they hate high school, and they think college is better.

Teens don't understand the older you get, the more responsibilities, which causes more stress. Teens believe that is more fun being all grown up. I've always said "I can't wait to be older and go to college." Now that I'm almost in my senior year, I have been thinking about graduating and going off to college. I am very excited, but nervous. I can't help thinking about how fast high school went and it is scary because I don't want my whole life to go that fast.

Even though I know all this, I still can't wait to graduate and go off to college.

Finals


Ahh Spring it brings a smile to many. After the fierce white winter we have had we deserve some nice sunshine. Spring also brings the end of the school year which is also very exciting. Sadly the end of the school year brings one more thing, finals. Finals are the most stressful thing of the whole school year. Mid-terms aren't as bad because you are more on the ball because it is still the first half of the school year. For finals your are so laid back, it is the end of the year you, and you just want summer to begin. For some people it is even more nerve-racking because if they don't pass the final, they don't pass the class, then they have to go to summer school. I just don't understand the point of finals, we already tested on the material once. Why would they make us test on it again? Teachers say we take them so we don't forget the material, but if we forgot it once, we will most likely forget it another time.
