Assignment 24 - Haley Drake

Yup! Junior year happened... I guess? I'm not sure if it's the fact that I was always busy or the relentless sleep deprivation that made this year seem to go by super quickly. Either way it definitely doesn't feel like Junior year is almost over. Although it wasn't as incredibly taxing as I was expecting it to be from the outset, there were times when I realized that I was probably more stressed out than I had ever been in my life. But then there were other times where I thought "wow I'm so glad this isn't freshman or sophomore year!" So in general, Junior year was a time in which I worked hard, pursued new interests, and achieved new goals; but in the same way that I now feel about freshman and sophomore years... I'm glad that it will be over soon. This summer my goals are to recover from the lost sleep and stress from this school year, reconnect with family and friends I haven't had as much time to be with, and work on figuring out my future and preparing myself for college applications.
