I was ordered to clean my room and I wasn't allowed to play with friends until I did so.
This took a lot longer than planned because my closet has been collecting junk for years now so there was a lot of interesting things to find and play with.
Organizing my closet was a walk down memory lane. Underneath ACT tests, scholarship applications and college resumes I found butterfly ceramics, doll shoes and beanie babies. How did that even happen?
Time has gone so fast, it's just slipped right through my fingers and I think most other seniors feel this way. There was a time when my dolls meant so much to me and I couldn't wait to grow up. Now my dolls are stuffed beneath my AP study guide collecting dust and housing spiders and I'm scared.
I remember looking up at the seniors with admiration as a sophomore. Now I'm a senior and I can't believe it. 12 years in the public education system and this is it. After this, we're separating, leaving the only life we've ever known and entering the "real world" (honestly, I don't even know what that means).
