Nog Blog: My countdown to a new beginning

by Mel Nogler

I just realized that [we] seniors have 32 more days left of school.
That is so frightening in many ways. This year went by so fast, it’s really scary.
It was like yesterday that I was becoming a freshman into a huge high school.
Sometimes it does hit me knowing that I only have 32 more days to do everything I want.
I know Graduation will be a piece of cake. I just want to pass school. It’s exciting in many ways to think about what you want to do after you get out of high school.
Some choose college; some choose to get a job. The thought of 5 weeks left of school; you try to fit in everything that you can. Because once you’re out of high school there is no turning back and that anxiety comes. It’s a good thing that you’re going to be in the real world, and have a job, a car to support you, but when you live on your own, it’s not easy as you think it is. And college life gets A LOT harder.
What really bothers me is that we seniors have end of the year finals.
Since I do not have a A+ in many of my classes, I still have to take them, which I know its going to be hard.
