Im aslo in my senior year and its definitely been a wild ride. Though most if that ride was me being an overachiever and burning out midway and having to learn its okay to take it slow I don't have to achieve everything so early on.
I lucked out and was able to get an off campus apartment and not have to stay in the dorms my entire time at school, so that saved me a lot of money and really allowed me to, I think enjoy college more because i was able to do my own thing and have my own space.
I've made a lot of new friends in the last few years and some friendships I think are going to live past the convenience of being in college and same department.
I think over all it was a rough start but by the end of it here overall it was worth it and I've had a great time!

congratulations on your senior year that's amazing! for me college was the best experience but i truly believe it is what you make of it. i took my 1st semester easy & luckily i had a great roommate that accompanied me to all types of social events i could find on our school's event board. going to social events helped me make friends & helped even decide classes i wanted to take outside my required classes.
my 2nd semester i started to get more serious about my club involvement & ended up on executive board positions which truly have helped me now that i'm graduated & in the professional field. aside from clubs and social involvement, i loved my classes & took a few classes outside my major that helped expand my knowledge & kind of made me more well rounded. ik college isn't for everyone but for me, it exposed me to new ways of thinking i don't think i would've been exposed to. it also expanded my professional network which will and has helped with job prospects.
i now regularly stay in contact with my friends from college & although we're in complete different parts of the world, we schedule weekly facetimes & find ways to visit each other every so often.
p.s. sorry this was long! i loved my experience and love sharing it with others because i truly believe college expands your knowledge, if you ever need advice on the application process or want to know anything else please reach out!! i wish you the best of luck on whatever journey you decide to take! <3

My college years are better than my stay at high school. I hated high school no matter how much I look at it. Here you'll find some friends that will probably stay. I can still connect with them but not really that close anymore. Maybe because most of them have families now and I'm not really a "friend" that hangs out.
I was able to learn a lot more about life during this because high school books are too controlled. And I was able to understand more about myself. I suppose it's because maturity really catches you during your college years. Trust me, you'll actually be wiser (more than you do at any school) when you finally got out and be able to face the real world.

Find happiness in the little things. Bask in the sun rise, take a moment to people watch grocery shopping or a cafe. Go on drives to nowhere in particular with your favorite playlist blasting. Read plays to a stuff animal audience and really dramatize the characters.

I read a book about volcanos growing up and that stuck with me for suck a long time, then i read my grandpas old astrology book and i very much remember how upset i was when they announced Pluto wasn't classified as a planet anymore and i was set to be the one to give Pluto back its title. Now ironically I study marine science, and im currently in school to now look at underwater volcanos and hydro thermal vents, which have some similar chemical components to that of what is in space so i guess it balanced out.
