Senior Year Realities

Going into Senior Year I wondered what would I do while most of my friends graduated already. Well, senior year is about preparing myself for the future and no one is going to be there to hold my hand all the time. I can see that I am growing and maturing into a nice young lady. For college I want to go to San Diego State. I chose San Diego State because it is not too far and not too close. I am the only child, so my parents don't want me to go far. I have friends and cousins that go to Spelman, and Howard and if I got accepted there at this point I'm not really sure what I would do. Realistically it's all about what I want not what my parents want. I'm the one that has to live there for four plus years of my life. Anyways, I have applied to a couple of schools already and I feel much better about it. Procrastinating with college would not be a good idea. I say get it done early so you won't have to stress and worry about things you could have handled a long time ago. I am just worried a little about my personal statement because the final draft is due Friday and now I am thinking about starting all over and that is going to be a disaster.  One thing I am grateful for is parents that actually care about my well being and want the best for me. I have gotten good grades all my life so now I could get into a decent college and start a new journey. I am excited for what the college life has to offer me. I know the temptation will be even harder now and I will really have to be on my A game. Parties especially will be a big distraction. I think I can party a little, as long as I get all of my work done first. I am exited for the college experience all around. I just want a new environment, a new start. No I will not be the first person to go to college in my family, and I am ready for the new experiences. C/o 2015🚴🎓
