It hit me earlier this week that as a junior I now have less than two years left of high school. The thought of it is both thrilling and terrifying. On one hand, I’m looking forward to going to college and seeing more of the world, as well as meeting new people. However, I also can’t help but think of my life and friends that I have now. I know that once I enter college all sense of familiarity will be gone, as I’ll have to leave Westford as well as everything I’ve ever known behind. I also know that inevitably once I’m in college I will begin to grow apart from many of the friends I have now, as we will all go off to different schools across the country, and possibly even some outside of the United States. It’s a very bittersweet scenario and one that hadn’t been at the front of my mind until very recently. It’s funny, since when I was a freshman I was told that my high school years would all go by so fast, and back then I had scoffed at the thought. But now I feel as though I blinked and all of a sudden I’m a junior worrying about college in the middle of a pandemic. So much has happened in such a short amount of time.
