With the final semester of my high school career starting, my main topic of conversation with everyone is my plans for next year. Everyone is curious as to what I’ll be doing with my life, or at least for the next four years. When people ask me this, I don’t know how to answer it because truthfully, I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I’ve been accepted to UConn, which is my top choice for college. I know I want to go to UConn. The problem is with what I want to do once I get there. I applied to the pre-journalism program, but I’m not positive if journalism is the career I want to pursue. I still have a very long time before I need to decide what to do with my life so I’m trying not to stress too much. As I said, it’s the last semester of my senior year of high school! It’s an incredible feeling to be so close to the end. People always say these are the best years of your life and right now I plan on focusing on making that saying a reality. On another note, my first dance competition of the season is this weekend and I am beyond excited. Dance has been my passion for the past thirteen years. I’m incredible sad that this is my last year dancing at TPDA, but this year is going to be a great competition season. Competitions have always been my favorite part of dance. We only go to 5 a year, so I cherish everyone. So, wish me luck for this weekend and have a great month! By the way, happy almost Valentine’s day! I hope you all do something special. This is my first V-day with a boyfriend so for once I’m not dreading the holiday. Just remember, you can never go wrong with chocolates!

Happy New Year everyone! I can’t believe it’s 2012 already. The holidays this year were crazy, but I loved every second of it. 2011 was a great year for me, but 2012 is going to be huge. This is the year I turn 18, graduate high school, and enter college. Speaking of college, over the past month I have been accepted to three of the five colleges I applied to, including UConn, which is my top choice! I’m still waiting to hear from the other two schools. Once I know where I’ve been accepted, I’ll be able to finally decide where I’m going to college. Learning of my acceptances made winter break even better but break is going to be over tomorrow! That means midterms are coming up quickly. Midterms means it’s the middle of my senior year of high school. It still blows my mind that I’m a senior, but this year has been the best by far. I know the second half of my senior year is going to be just as amazing. On top of school, I have dance, work, and friends to hang out with. But right now, I have last minute homework to do before break ends. Procrastination has always been a problem of mine. So, until next time!
