I've spent nearly eighteen years of my life doing absolutely nothing. Suddenly, out of the blue, everything's happening too fast. How come no one has told me that I should have been preparing for this all along?
With adulthood comes great responsibility. For the first time, I am a working girl, in an official job. I earn a salary; I hold a committment to my workplace. Why did it take me so long to get here?
Junior year has turned to seniority in the blink of an eye. College is too close for comfort; I'm not ready yet. I still have to take tests, write essays, earn financial aid; I have to be good enough for someplace to want me. Why would any college want to have me there?
The rest of my life is looming over me like the largest thundercloud of a summer storm. I love writing, photography, and acting, but as hobbies, not as monthly incomes. How am I going to be able to find a career?
I'm just not ready for all this yet.

Advice from someone who has been there:
Don't worry so much.
Make sure that you always check any deadlines you may encounter.
Never throw mail aside if it's from a college you're interested in- it could be something important.
If you don't know what you want to do, you're not alone.
College will be more fun than you can imagine, so do what you can with your senior year, but it's not what you expected, it won't matter in the end.
Expand your horizons. Anything that sounds like it could be interesting, delve into it just a little bit- that could help you choose where your life is leading you.
If you ever want someone to talk to about it all, you know where to find me :)
