Farewell Summer

        As Summer 2013 is coming to a close, it's time to get back on the working bandwagon, especially since I'm entering the pivotal Junior Year. I've already began SAT Prep and between that and the rest of my summer homework, my usual school year routine of having no life besides school, is starting early. Work, work, work is what the next month holds for me. Not the paying kind of work (god, I wish) but the kind that is "forwarding my scholarly career" (or "erudite" career, to use an SAT vocab word). This next year will be full of testing, AP homework, and college trips. I'm most excited for the latter. Traveling is one of my favorite things in life, "travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer"! And although it's not a trip to France (my dream), it's still traveling to new places, places where I could be spending four years of my life before I venture out into "the real world". Well I guess college is technically "the real world" cause I'll be on my own and probably working... I don't know, anyway I'm excited and nervous. It's a big decision and I don't want to mess it up. What I'm most worried about is that I won't get into any good colleges, or I won't have the means to pay for any good colleges. If I end up at the university 15 minutes away, it won't be the end of the world because it's an amazing school and I'd get a great education, but I would be able to rely on my parents which, I worry, would hold me back from developing my own independence.
        It's a lot to think about, and a lot to work on. The good thing is, I have time and it'll be my focus for the whole year. Long story short: here's to a year of stress! Yay! I just hope I can stay calm, cool, and collected, and look like this girl all year long!
