As for me I am a senior in high school, and I am just counting the days until I start college next year. Everyone I know, who is in college, tells me how much better it is than high school. High school life is dull, monotonous, and it makes you feel so clostraphobic, but it probably is better than old age.(: >> Liz, I'm a senior too. Like you I can't wait to go to college, but I am enjoying this year so much! Sure it's stressful, sure high school isn't too exciting, but it's what you make of it. And I'm making the most of it. Going out everyday, while still doing my required work, but mostly emphasizing having fun with friends before they scatter to different universities around the country. Don't look too far ahead, or else you'll miss out on what's happing now, its like losing a whole year. Morgan
