Essay On Senior Moments
Coming to school in August was surreal. Senior freaking year. One waits all of their life for their senior year. There are so many things to look forward to. Homecoming, pep assemblies, prom, senior nights, graduation, and most importantly, those long crazy nights with friends before we all go on our separate ways after graduation. This is all great, in theory and writing, but in reality things aren’t exactly how we expect them to be. Movies about teenagers in high school making the most of their senior year set us up for our own disappointments.
It is now November, and I know everyone choose their own destiny, but none of these great senior moments have happened to me. For beginners this year I got a job which is all I ever wanted to do.

I realized these people I would consider friends, were not really my friends. We started to grow apart because I got busy with my job and they would go out and have those long crazy nights without me. Change is inevitable and I feel like the distance that was being created between us was also not. It was a hard thing to let go, but when people grow apart it’s very hard to stich the bond back together if the pieces don’t fit anymore. I hope perhaps, later on this senior year, we’ll find our way back to each other.
I’m thankful for reconnecting with a little sweet heart names Jennifer this year. On the first day of school when I saw her in math class I learned we had every single class together. So we stuck together like gum ever since. I also got a car a few weeks ago which I cannot complain about. We choose our own destiny and I believe in faith. I still have a whole lot to look forward to this year like prom, track season, and graduation. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see how my senior year will

    Senior year is like listening to a broken radio that repeats the same phrase over and over again. As an incoming freshman in college, we are still unable to throw this broken radio out. We've been forced to listen to the phrase "How are you going be successful in college?" I believe that everyone has a different definition of being successful in college. For me, being successful in college is keeping up with my grades and living my life to the fullest.…

    Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks. It is also the time to sit down and enjoy a meal with your family. Even though enjoying a meal with your family is very important, Thanksgiving is also important to ask you and your family what are you thankful for. Being thankful can be a long or short accomplishment; a goal that can be achieved. This year, I’m thankful that I’m currently enrolled at Thomas Nelson Community College, graduated from high school, and my family is supporting me through college.…

    As a senior, things in my life have changed drastically. I now know what is important in life and I try to live life by those things. Throughout the years, I have discovered what matters and what doesn’t, thus creating or confirming my values. Being a senior, I have a much better concept of who I want to be rather than when I was a freshman. Secondly, as senior, I am expected to know life plans. The thought of a future college or job is no longer bizarre, but is actually expected. Now instead of stressing about a biology project, I find myself worried about what is to come in the next several years. This has probably been the most substantial difference in my life between freshman and senior year; the mindset and focus. As a senior, I now spend most of time trying to figure out my future. While as a freshman, I was caught up in the here and now. Lastly, a difference in my life as a senior is the concept of time. Looking back at my high school experience, it is so evident just how fast time really goes. High school seems as if it just flew by. All the years have run together, and I have found myself wondering where the time has gone. These people that have spent everyday with for the last four years suddenly have become people who I may never see again after this…

    From as long as I knew my legal abilities, I could never wait until the day I finally turned eighteen. I couldn’t possibly fathom how I would fit all of the things I wanted to do in one day. I could play the lottery. I could go buy some cigarettes. I could go to a strip club. I could smoke cigarettes at the strip club while I played the lottery. I could even get a tattoo, which was definitely something I always wanted to do. When I realized my birthday, once again, fell on a day of finals, I couldn’t be more excited considering I knew that I would only have a half day of school. But even better, being a senior, I was privileged enough to be exempt from my finals that day. But even better than that, my birthday fell on Friday, meaning I would have all night and then some to have the best birthday of my life.…
