Senior Reflection: High School.

So I'm pretty close to graduation. Like honestly, its about 3-4 weeks away. I have to say that senior year has been the most difficult, stressful, and fun year of high school. Whoever told me that senior year was going to be easy was lying. It wasn't easy. College applications were bad enough, but juggling college apps with school, robotics, and tennis was absolute hell. However, now that I look back on it, it doesn't seem so bad anymore because I finished it unscathed, it got me into the college that I wanted to go to, and it leaves me with very little stress now.

Senior Reflection 2: UVA

So I'm heading off to college next year and I'm happy to report that I'm going to the University of Virginia. I don't know why, but ever since I was in 6th grade, I've been telling myself and everyone else that UVA was the right and only school for me. It's a bit weird because, I only visited UVA this year, but its always been this great center of knowledge for me. I may have over Romanticized it as a kid, but even now, UVA has a hold on me tht no other school that I applied to has. Its a great school for what I want to do, but I love the campus as much as I love the quality of education. In my mind, the campus of UVA rivals that of UMW, which is and forever will be the most beautiful college campus that I have ever seen in my life.

Senior Reflection 1: AP Exams

So AP Exam's are finally over, and I could not be happier. This is the last set of AP Exams that I will ever have to take again in my life, and they were rough. I took 7 exams this year, a big jump from my 3 exams last year. Honestly though, although these were some very difficult and arduous exams, I really had a great bunch of classes this year, and I enjoyed learning the material, which made the exams less tedious.
