As another school year has begun to unravel, we find ourselves amidst fall, which happens to be one of the best seasons of the year. Our minds and bodies are refreshed from the summer, the weather is getting cooler, and the progression of fall sports, which everyone anticipates each year.
From the cross country meets to the volleyball showdowns to evening soccer games to the Friday night football games, exhilarating sports matches are all around us. However, it’s not all about sports as we also look forward to memorable school events such as spirit week, homecoming, and pep rallies, which make the fall all the more exciting!
For the class of 2024, fall also happens to be when many of us are beginning our college application process, and officially taking a look into our lives beyond high school. College application season is considered to be one of the most stressful seasons as seniors juggle college apps, school work, extracurriculars and organizations, jobs, and making time for our social lives as well. Students are finding it difficult to stay on top of school as college deadlines are approaching, meetings for clubs and organizations are running, and our school work isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.
With fall sports nearing its end with a few weeks left in the season and the early action college deadline creeping up on us, seniors are feeling overwhelmed and rushed in the final countdown of the season. We shouldn’t make it all stressful as there’s still time to have fun and work hard for a few more weeks, and we’ll be leaving this season with a weight lifted off our shoulders and everlasting memories from our last fall in high school.
