Some days it feels like I have all my crap together and others it feels like I'm only holding it all together with flimsy bits of tape. There's so much stuff I have to do. Serious, life changing stuff. College applications, SAT and ACT, driving test, volunteer hours, projects, college-level classes, liking boys, hating boys, liking girls so much more.
Looking at things in a positive light, you could say I've got everything under control. I mean, I found a really great college that should be somewhat easy to get into, I get a second chance to take the SAT, I'm finally comfortable driving, I'm getting all my volunteer stuff set up, I've got plenty of time to finish my projects, I've got A's in all of my classes and am at the top of my college-level class, and a boy asked me out for the first time.
Sounds great, right? Well, it doesn't feel great. It all feels like a ton of bricks on my shoulders.
On days when my depression kicks in I feel like I'm going to break down. I just feel like I'm not cut out for all of this.
What if I don't get into the college I want to get into? I'll be devastated.
My SAT and ACT scores are extremely weak. My ACT score is one point below the college's minimum and this college is not exactly a school for geniuses. My SAT score is just a joke. I feel like an idiot. I'm retaking the SAT this weekend and I haven't studied at all. I have no time this week to study either because I've got midterms and a bunch of other stuff.
I've never been one to stress over tests. I love tests actually. I love retaining loads of information and then spitting it all out on paper. This is why I'm doing so great in my Animal Science class, the college-level course. I have yet to get a grade below 90. The tests are the hardest tests I've ever taken and yet I continuously score above 100. I don't understand how I can do so good on these tests and then be a complete failure at taking the SAT.
On top of all this school stuff, I'm also dealing with my sexuality. In every single one of my classes there's at least one girl I'm incredibly attracted to. Every day I get pains in my stomach looking at these girls because I know I could never have a chance with them. They're all straight and all totally out of my league. That's the kind of girls I'm attracted to. Straight, gorgeous ones.
I can deal with it, sure, but then.. on top of all that I have this really sweet guy wanting to go on a date with me. I'm don't have any friends so this is a pretty big deal. I really want to be friends with him, plus he has a lot of friends who he could introduce me to. I don't want to scare him off by telling him I think I'm gay. I'm not ready to tell anyone anyways.
Agh.. getting all of this out helps, but writing it has given me a headache.
