I Can Do This

It has officially been a week since school started.

It feels like a month.

Or a year.

Yet, somehow I feel like this year will actually go faster.

It hasn't really been a slow start. My mind just feels like it never ended. Like this is merely a continuation of last year, with no break in the middle to separate junior from senior.

My classes are fun. My schedule is chill. Some people stress out about only taking hard classes, because unweighted or easy ones will ruin their gpa.

I don't care.

Really, what is a 4.3 going to get you that a 4.2 could not?

I'm not going all Ivy League crazy. And I'm certainly not pushing myself to the max my senior year just for the possibility of an honorable mention at the graduation ceremony.

This year is my year. I've been waiting for the past three to finally be able to say "whatever, I'm a senior, it doesn't matter." I can  do what I want, when I want, and if I want to have two time releases and an easy aiding block, I damn well will.

Because I'm a senior.

And it doesn't matter.
