I have been trying to mentally prepare myself for the return to school.

My passport came in the mail the other day. Things like that are concrete and make me realize what I will doing in the near future.
List of Concrete Things in My Life:
-passport
-class schedule
-college applications
-my paints
-my driver's license
-voter's card
-the looks on the faces of my relatives when they realize how old I am now
-my favorite older cousin is pregnant

Despite my anxiety, I am ready to move on. I need to start anew. School is a bore to me. I want to want to learn. But I'll give school a chance for now. What other choice do I have?
I have been making a list of goals for senior year. Even if I don't accomplish all of them, I like looking back at the end of the year to see the person I was at the beginning. After 8th grade, I wrote in my journal a long list of questions for my future self to answer pertaining to things that would happen in high school. Once in a while, I go through the list and answer them to myself. It's amazing how much has happened to me and how much I have changed as a person while still holding on to the person I have always been.

Question of Today: What is your favorite color Skittle and why?
