Seniors 2011...The big year..The last year...but so far I haven't felt any of those emotions yet. These first three weeks of school have been pretty mellow and ordinary; feeling much like junior year. Everyone knows what grade they are in and who is above and below them in the high school ladder we call school but I have yet to feel the great right of being called a senior.
Freshmen this year have stormed into BETA congesting the halls and screaming at the top of their lungs to another friend of theirs at the other end of the hall annoying everyone around them. Sophomores are glad they aren't "fishies" anymore but still haven't passed the goofy stage in life. Juniors seem a little bit more mature as they get closer and closer to their senior year and graduation. However, seniors have shown no sign of superiority and many don't feel they are.
Homework and plans for college are also troubling minds for me as counselors and teachers are starting to prepare the seniors for the real world. Colleges and even more colleges are out there and the choices are endless for me as I try to narrow my search and try to pick the right choice. It's a scary thought of leaving my friends, the people I laugh, joke around, and spend every day with to suddenly disperse and head their own way.
BETA has really changed this year in size, new lunch policies, construction projects changing the landscape, and new ideas evidently transforming the small school. Despite all these changes, I plan to make this year worthwhile and memorable by living every moment to the max. Hopefully as the school progresses, I can finally feel and say to others "It's a Senior Thing".
