Preparing For College

Preparing For College

I have felt much stressed out lately. Time has been going by so quickly. Reality hits me whenever people talk to me about college. Realizing that this same year I will be becoming a senior and applying for college definitely scares me. I have a GPA of 3.8 which honestly makes me feel disappointment in myself. I know I could have done better but it does nothing to help it now if I dwell on what could have been. I would like to bring it up to at least a 4.0. The only thing I can do now is try my best to get A’s in my three AP classes. It is honestly very challenging. I am disappointed of the C I currently have in my AP English class but I know I can bring it up. I have also decided to take classes during the summer to bring my GPA higher. The problem is that I am also doing an internship this summer, and in addition I will be working with my aunt up in Salinas, CA for about a week. What I have to do is check the schedules of the classes ELAC is offering and try to make it all work. It will be a challenge and as much as I don’t want to stress about it, it definitely does get to me. On top of all the planning for the summer, I still have to worry about the current classes I am taking and preparing for all the big tests coming up such as the AP Tests, SAT, ACT, and SAT Subject. I honestly feel exhausted. I am tired of working hard, overthinking and spending a lot of time all the extracurricular activities I am doing such as volunteering, clubs, and sports. I am fed up with it all. BUT it will all be done. It will all be worth it. AND at the end I will look back and be proud of myself. It will all be over soon, faster than what I can imagine and I know it. It will seem very challenging but I know these will also be my best years and I will make the best memories through it all.
