There are so many activities you can do to earn junior high glory for your future college resume. There’s CJSF, volunteering in the community, even year-long electives like leadership, journalism, broadcasting and yearbook. Are you already stressing about college?  I know I am. By stressing, I mean full-on breaking into a cold-sweat. You may think it’s too early to be thinking about this, but I think it is never too early to prepare. OMG. I sound like my mom!

Going to a good college is very important…well, to most people. No college means no job. No job means no money. No money means no home. Without a home, that person can say “goodbye” to the comforts of life and “hello” to the streets of Los Angeles.  No thanks.

I am constantly thinking about SAT’s and AP classes, and all sort of acronyms that have something to do with my future. I know, I know.  Maybe I am pushing myself too hard. In fact, I envy those go-with-the-flow kind of people. At the same time, their carelessness makes my brain feel like it’s going to explode.

Perhaps the solution is to be right in between: a mix of hard-work and relaxation.  I’ll work on that tomorrow.
