The Basics

The start of another school year after an incredible summer is always bittersweet (or just bitter, depending on how you see it). Some see senior year as a time to rest and enjoy being on top of the food chain,  throwing caution and grades into the wind. To me, this last year of high school is all about working towards my future. With a new job, iQuest, a long distance boyfriend, staying on top of my grades, and hanging out with my friends and family, I have a lot to balance.  I expect my senior year to be a lot of hard work, but very rewarding. 

Right now, it's all kind of intimidating. This year is the first I've ever had a job, a totally new, exciting, and tiring experience. It's also the first year I've ever had a long distance relationship, so it will be interesting to see how I balance time spent here and time spent visiting him in Southern California. 

Senior year is full of "first times" and uncharted territory, but that doesn't mean it's not exciting. This year is the first time I will be able to explore my passion -- psychology. I find psychology so interesting, every aspect of it holds my attention. Being in iQuest gives me the opportunity to truly explore psychology as a career, not just learn facts in a classroom. Learning a topic I actually want to learn instead of one I'm required to learn is so much more rewarding.
I can't wait to see what senior year has in store and what my new internship will teach me.
That's all for now!
