Junior year starts tomorrow, and again, I am dreading yet another school year. I am making a promise to myself to post on this blog every day. No matter how tired, mad, sad, busy, sick, or unmotivated I am. I want something to be able to look back on and see how pathetic I was on the days that I will write certain topics. I doubt anyone will read this, but I am writing for me.
Honestly, there is nothing special about me. I am an ordinary sixteen year old girl suffering through high school. But this year I am trying to make it different. I have a lot more going on this year. I have school (obv), work, dance one night a week, drama club, legacy club, prom committee, community service for beta club, pilates class, and doing whatever I can to develop my acting and singing career. If I ever say I am bored, someone please slap me. I am trying to become someone in my high school. I want to be remembered, and not as the girl who got drunk every weekend and gave it up to whatever guy was in front of me first. I want to make a difference in some way, but that’s a life goal, not really a junior year type one.
This summer was a blur to me because I didn’t do anything memorable. I may want to get out of high school, but I don’t want it to all be a blur. I have two years left with these people, I may despise a lot of them, but I don’t want to blow by it all because I sat in the corner and did nothing. Don’t get me wrong. I am in no way changing who I am, because I’m definitely not shallow enough to change who I am as a person for anyone but me, I just want more people to see WHO I AM. Not just who everyone thinks I am.
So that is another promise I am making to myself. This is a year of promises and accomplishments. Everyone always says Junior year is the most important because colleges look at you, right? Well why not make more than colleges notice me. That, is my goal.
