let’s get back to normalcy.

I graduated 8th in my class out of 183 students from Tamaqua Area Senior High School.

I was the 3rd female in our class ranks. I’m not going to lie; it was a pretty difficult feat. after having spent my first two years of high school not giving a shit about grades whatsoever, I had to make up for a lot of my former apathy throughout my junior and senior years of high school. I would have to say that my graduation was probably one of the best days of my life. it was one of the few times that I was truly proud of myself.

and where has that gotten me? absolutely nowhere. like all high school seniors, of course I was going to pursue a higher education upon my graduation. I picked Temple University as my school of choice. I visited the campus once, and to put it mildly, I kind of fell in love. I can’t pinpoint exactly why I liked the campus so much, but my mind was made up.

hardly a year after being so excited about where I was going to college, I’m fed up. I can’t stand going to classes. I can’t make up my mind about my major. I’ve been literally worrying myself sick for the past two months because I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing with my life. it’s gotten to the point where I would be completely content working a job that I knew was going to be stable every day for the rest of my life.

so what was the point of this post? no matter how popular or smart you are in high school, it’s never going to get you anywhere after you graduate.
