Trying to be Perfect Senior Year

When this year started I really did not feel like a senior at all, it was a weird feeling know that my classmates and I will be gone this time next year and some of us may never see each other again. So I wanted to make this year a great year and try to get along with everyone and have everyone like me, so that I will be remembered as a genuinely nice person. Once I had this in my head, I had to be absolutely the nicest to everyone and get along with everyone.

Once reality set in, I soon realized that I can not get along with everyone and not everyone will like me even though it is senior year. I want to be remembered as a really nice person, but one can only do so much. Then there is the thought that why do I even care what my classmates think of me because I will never have to see them again in my life. It goes back and fourth and it gets hard to deal with.

I have come to realize that my best friends are all I need this year and that we will remain close even after senior year, and that I just need to try to be as nice as I can this year to other people. And I can't do anything to make them think of me as a genuinely nice person when we all graduate. People think what they want to think.   

Until next time,
