What no one tells you

about senioritis is

the constant worry.


The worry of school

where your classes pile up

into hours of work. 


Worry for dreaded 

college applications due

every word matters.


Where is the skipping

or the relaxing coursework?

Instead of this load.


You hear about how

every senior has fun in

the last year. Where’s mine?


The author's comments:

I’ve dreamt of the end of high school and pictured it as a time of freedom and relaxation. Now, beginning my senior year, I feel the complete opposite. Everything feels extremely overwhelming and I’m just trying to get through day by day.

I know how you feel, there's a lot of stress to have your life planned out your senior year and everyone keeps telling me I don't have to have a plan right away for what to do after high school, but if I don't have a plan, what am I going to do?
