For high school, my priority is definitely college. I'm still convinced that college is turning into a ponzi-scheme put on by all the world's richest people but hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em right? Well no, but that's what I'm going to do for right now. Still completely lost on what my future holds, all I know is I don't want too much debt. But I've been thinking. I don't think I'm competitive for merit-based for scholarships anymore. My test scores are good, don't get me wrong, but they aren't high enough to be ~extra-special~ if you know what I mean. That's what scares me the most. I'm going to sacrifice a new life experience for staying out of crippling debt. But we shall see.

College. What a wacky time it's going to be. My biggest priority is finding something that I love to do. After all, I'm going to be doing whatever that is for the rest of my life. Well, that or a minimum wage job that I'm overqualified for so I won't get hired there either. whoooooooo. But anyways, I'm hoping that college will be a blank slate for me. It's not like I have anything to erase, except maybe all pictures of me from 5th grade to sophomore year, but I want to try new things. I want to have cool stories to tell to my sister's kids because Lord knows, I am NOT having kids. ew.

Life, dude. I just want to have one. Do I know what that entails? Why, absolutely not. so #yolo i guess.
