i don't want to work because i'm a senior
I didn't want to graduate early because I didn't think I would want to miss my second semester of my senior year. But now that it's here and I'm still here, I'm regretting my decision. I have more than enough credits to graduate right now, and I already got into college, yet I'm still here. If I had graduated early, I could be working full time right now, saving up for money to spend at school next year. But instead I'm still in high school, working to get good grades to be sure I can still graduate and actually go to ISU like I'm supposed to next year. And I don't even have a job because I'm always at school, so the only time I have to apply for jobs is the time I use to hang out with my friends. So basically, I don't want to work because I'm a senior. I already got into the college I want to go to, and I don't really need to be here, so why am I?

Rachel,
I am happy you are here :-) Think about what a unique experience this semester can for you - it is no longer about the grades, it is not about going to college, it is simply about enjoying school - all of it the friends, the learning, the self-discovery, the readings etc. Don't do any of it for the grade, just do it for you. And you have the luxury of not worrying about any of it for college or grades. Think about what you wrote - "I wish I could work so I could make money so I could spend it" You have become such a part of the capitalist structure. It is about money and spending, but not relaxing and enjoying or being happy. I hope you'll stay with us and we'll see if this makes more sense as the semester unfolds.
