Dang, when I was a freshman, I admired all of the seniors so much. I thought it was going to be so chill. Only have four or five classes, leave at lunch, do whatever I want, and then graduate. Boy….since I wanna go to a good college, I guess that’s not the case. I mean, the first day of school everything was thrown at me. Deadlines, Class requirements, deadlines, forms for college, deadlines for that…and the big one of them all…..COLLEGE APPLICATIONS! Oh yeah, deadlines for that, too. Crazy crazy crazy.

Then the unthinkable happened. I got so overwhelmed by it all, I just gave up. Juggling football, school work, and trying to start a club. Unbelievable. I mean, i stopped. Didn’t do homework, slept in class, didn’t try to take the help offered to me by my teachers. People kept telling me “Just do it, it’ll be worth it in the end.” I heard that phrase so much that it became annoying kinda stupid. Yeah it’l lbe worth it, but i really didn’t want to hear that all day long. Then I realized “Oscar, if you don’t jump on it soon, you’re not goin’ to college!” So then i got up, caught up on my work, finished all my college applications, and got a better attitude toward it all.

As I adjust my attitude toward life and why people are helping me, I try to be positive. But it’s ridiculous. Gotta get everything done: Classwork, work on club, search for scholarships. I thought it would be simpler once applications started. I was sadly mistaken.

So now i’m writing this blog. Wow, writing stuff down does feel great. Haha I should do this more often :-p
