Senior thoughts.

On certain topics I'm usually good at keeping my emotions hidden but senior year is stressing me out.

If you have any inkling on questioning me about what I'm gonna do after graduation...DON'T. I don't know, just as much as you know what I'm gonna do. I have so many interests and that makes it very difficult for me to find one area and focus on it. If I had to list all the subject areas that I'm interested in it would look like this:

-Government: the workings of government and government agencies
-Politics: how politics work, or in the area of an actual campaign
-Special Education: duh
-History: broad very broad
-Wartime: Civil War and World War 2 specifically
-Kennedy, Lincoln and Reagan
-Camp management: hellur
-Museum curator: even more duh
-Anything to do with Washington DC: cause if you know me you know that's my city
-The Holocaust: see wartime
-Law: see previous post about Heaven on Earth

and that's just the top items.

It's so hard to pick just one because I haven't had a chance to really get involved in all...this is why college should be FREE and longer than 4 years.

I am really interested in interning in DC during the summer or even in the fall so I can breathe before (if) I move after graduation.

I'm stressing out, in simple terms.

I don't want to leave AU, because if you've known me for any amount of time you would know that I have dreamed of AU since I was 12. Literally 12. I'm not ready to graduate, I love AU, the people, the campus, everything. [ Not to mention I paid 120,000$ over 4 years to help fund this student center that I can't even see. ] uhhhh.

Overall I've made a lot of accomplishments thus far in senior year.
I've become Senior Class President.
I work full time.
I am a full time student. Taking History of Mexico, Sign Language, Colonial and Revolutionary America, Senior Seminar, and my internship.
I'm interning at the Belton Museum.
Oh, and I somehow find time to have a life and hang out with friends.

Senior year is a whirlwind of emotions and I have contemplated failing a class or two just so I can stick around. :)

Please someone figure out how to make time slow down. I have midterms starting next week and senior year just started.


Hey kids, never grow up.
