“School in general is difficult. I’m taking a really hard course load this year. Senior year is difficult because it doesn’t really matter, but it does. It matters that you get college credit, and it matters that you do well. But it also doesn’t matter at all. If I failed all my classes at this point, I’d still graduate. It’s very hard in that you have to keep motivation in yourself. I’m on the fall play production of ‘Mad,’ which goes right into senior directs which I’m hoping I’ll be a director. Immediately after that is the musical, which I’m hoping to be on crew for. That goes until January, after that I’m directing a musical for my ISP in Phoenix. And then after that I’m graduating. So I’m doing a lot of theatre stuff this year. I’m also president of choir, so I’m going to at least one choir event a week. I’m president of GSA as well, so I have to organize and set up coalition events. I’m pretty much doing everything I can within my extracurriculars. I’m also in a professional choir which meets once a week. I’m doing everything to busy myself.  Senior year is an enigma. Your diploma is what makes senior year worth going through. The way I’m approaching it is I want to do as much as I possibly can so that time flies by, so I can graduate sooner. Because I’m excited for college. But the way that I see it is it’s the “last” everything. So you want to savor it, but you also want to just get through it. The way I’ve best heard it described is ‘Senior year flies by unless you’re counting the days.’”
