This Is Me
I plan to write on my personal thoughts and feelings, what I've done that day, etc. Basically, what anyone would write in their own journal if they had one.
Up To Speed; Early College Stress
God, I haven't added onto this thing in, like, a year.
I passed tenth grade, I'm 17 today (yay! xd ), my sister went to college, I went to camp, I'm writing, and...uh...there's a bunch of stuff from tenth grade, but I don't feel like posting it.
Junior year at my school is A NIGHTMARE. It's a high-expectations private school, so they basically expect you to be perfect in every single ******** way. But this year is even more intense, because now they want juniors to focus on college-finding. They do it with the seniors too, but they start getting labor-intensive with the juniors starting, like, the first day of school.
Basic welcome-back philosophy of the college counseling office at my school:
"Hey there, it's your junior year, let's shove all this college crap down your throat!"
I've talked to other people I know, and the teachers didn't start riding their backs until second semester. SECOND SEMESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! scream scream scream scream scream They started on us the first day of school and they get a free ride until JANUARY??!! Jesus Christ!!!!
..................
Sorry, I got mad. It's just annoying that they start "counseling" us so early. *sigh*
Well, that's it for me! Bye!

Whoa, I went to a public school. That's neat you're attending a private one. *Nods* Yes, it's difficult that they shove this on you...and I really don't see why they push it on you all in second semester. But college can be fun, A LOT less stressful if you ask me.
