At the time of writing this, I am a junior. I am going to be a senior soon and that means I will soon be an adult. If you ask me, it is scary. I used to be excited about thinking of the future. Now it is a stressful process that I try not to think about.
I want to become an author for YA books. How do I get there? I plan on going to IU in Bloomington. They have something that is called a media program. It allows students to experience a blend of journalism and communications. This will open up lots of media opportunities for me in the future. Bloomington’s specific Media School is the only of its kind in terms of the IU system.
The thing about Bloomington is that it is about two hours away from where I live. This is scary. What if my family has an emergency? What if I forget something really important? Not only that, but besides me visiting the college probably once before I go, it will be a whole new area. I am going to have to lock in and figure out my way around Bloomington.
Driving is also a confusing topic for me right now. I just finished an online course and will be driving as soon as March. I know I am late to the whole driving scene though, which is probably why people do not ask me to go out.
High school has been helpful to me in some ways. It forced me to talk and interact with people. It also got me out of the house, but when I go to college unless I am going to class or maybe even a job, will I have a hard time socializing? I guess time will tell.
I feel like I rushed my teen years. I was so ready to leave my home and start a life of my own, and I still think I am. I only hope that I can manage it and find happiness in my future, for growing up is hard.
