My junior year I haven’t really cared about school much at all. I’m tired of learning about things that don’t matter. I need to move on to something more important to the rest of my life. I still don’t know what I want to go to school for. That decision stresses me out more than anything. I need to figure out what I would like to do for the rest of my life and have fun at the same time. I want to do things that make me money instead of sitting in school all day. The days I skip school to work I feel I have accomplished something because I made money instead of just sitting in school all day.

This year I have thought deeply about everything and my perspective on life has changed dramatically. I have had a girlfriend for a little over two months now and I have never been happier. I always thought everyone was dumb saying they love their boyfriend or girlfriend. But now I understand completely and I do the same. It is coming close to the end of the school year and I ready to get out for the summer. Next year should be pretty fun hopefully I will have everything together and I won’t be stressed out. This school year has gone fast and its finally ending. I hope next year is just as good or better. I can’t wait to graduate high school and get on with my life but then at the same time its kind of scary to think about.
