Blog 27 - Unfinished Business

The end of my senior year is coming quickly, and it is freaking me out. The past few months have flown by, and in the blink of an eye, I am going to be graduating. I definitely have a lot of unfinished business to take care of before I leave Central Regional. Out of all four years at Central Regional High School, I have only cut one class. I know that being a good student is important, and I really do value that, but I want to be able to do lots more badass stuff.

Spring Break just ended, and most of the time, I realized, I was not with my own school. I have friends in Lacey that I met at work several years ago, and they have both become best friends to me, so over the break I spent the majority of my time with Lacey Township kids. Don’t get me wrong, they are awesome people to hang out with and they are a really great time, but I want to bond with my school as well. Ending my Spring Break I did get to bond with my whole class, and younger and older classes, too, and when I did I realized that I want to spend lots more time with my peers from Central before I graduate.

Also over Spring Break, I visited my future home at the University of Delaware. Even though I already made my decision, I attended UDel’s Decision Day. It made me really think a lot about how I don’t know anyone at the school, and it makes me want to be more outgoing. I can start doing this at Central. I know that graduation is looming closer, but it’s never too late to make new friends!

Another unfinished business that I have is Calculus Honors. Throughout my high school career, I have not been able to be on High Honor Roll because of Mrs. Keiser’s math class. Mrs. Keiser has said it herself that I am a great student, I raise my hand and ask questions a lot, I stay after for extra help, and I always do my work, but regardless of all those positives, her class always leaves me without a lollipop and an honor roll bumper sticker. By the end of the year, I want to get that bumper sticker. The funniest part is that I won’t even put it on my car because it will be too late and it would look silly, but it is what it symbolizes that I want the most.

Other than those things, I think that I have lived a pretty interesting and fulfilling high school career, and all I can think is that it will get better in college. College might be a scary thought, not knowing anyone, being away from my parents, and being in a totally new environment that I am not used to, but I think that it will be a good experience and I can’t wait to move forward with my life.
