Despite it being the first week of school we’ve been talking about endings a lot. Every teacher I have has asked all the seniors to raise their hand and then proceeds to tell us how fast this year is going to fly by. When I hear this I take a deep breath and start to panic.

There are so many expectations that come with senior year. Some you have for yourself, while others are things other people expect from you—my teachers making it a point to count down the days we have until we should start applying for colleges, my family asking if I have my senior panoramic picture outfit planned yet.

I feel as though I should have done so much already, even though we’ve been back at school for five days. I keep telling myself I’m behind, even though we haven’t really started yet. My allergies season always start during the first week of school, so I’m also dealing with this with a stuffy nose. Maybe I should just try to relax. ♦
