Looking back on it now… high school was definitely a different experience. The challenges and quirks I had to brake through in the last four years have made me into who I am now. I have transformed from an awkward and quiet freshman to a loud and rambunctious sophomore and later becoming a sophisticated and percervering junior. Now that it’s my senior year I have a lot that I can now look back on and ponder over what I possibly could have done differently. If only I had someone to tell me what to expect during this four year journey.

High school is awkward. I know a lot of people who didn’t have an awful time in high school. They have fond memories of a time in their lives when they didn’t have any responsibilities and lived a life that was basically consequence-free. You were allowed to screw up. Most of the time you were practically encouraged to screw up, mess around and be held accountable for absolutely nothing. The people I know who figured that out early had a great time in high school; they made friends, went on adventures and navigated puberty with grace and dignity.

I wasn’t that person. I’m a socially awkward girl. So I went through high school stressed, worried and waiting for puberty (I’m 17, and I feel like next year will probably be the year when I finally hit a growth spurt). There are one or two things I wish I’d known back then that would have made going through high school as a socially awkward girl a lot easier. Well, not “one or two things.” Four. Four things.
