Dear Fellow Seniors,

I cannot stand when you sit around stressed out from college apps or schoolwork or life at home and say “wow, I’m so ready to go to college and get out of here!” Think about what you’re saying. Really what you mean is “wow, I’m so ready to go to college and get out of here and leave all of the friends I’ve known for 4-13 or more years and my family and go someplace at least a few hours away so I’ll be happy!” It doesn’t make senese to me. Yes, we’re all maddeningly stressed over where we’re going to be next year, and maybe because of schoolwork or because we’re still doing college apps (the latter two for me). Everything will be calmer after January 1-20 or so, and you can relax a lot until April. So, don’t say you want to leave everyone behind, unless you really do. I know I don’t want to leave.

With Love,

Adam Feldman
