Future Hye Jee Kim

Junior year was the busiest year of my life. I did so many things. So many. Too many. And because I did so many things, I now know everything that there is to know about all of life. Except not really. If anything, I know less than I did (or at least, I'm more uncertain about stuff). So now I'm going to tell you about it. yay.

Okay so Junior year, I stressed myself out about things that I really shouldn't be stressed out about. Grades, test scores, applications, extracurriculars, oh my. And just because I'm self aware doesn't mean I'm going to stop. It's kind of part of my existence now. But, while being perpetually stressed low-key sucks, it has helped me be successful in some things like..

1. Wendell-Irish Viola Competition: I did pretty darn well in this because the week before, I got stressed out about embarrassing myself and practiced a butt-ton.
2. Grades: I took harder classes this year than last year, which stressed me out, which made me try super hard, which made me get better grades.
3. GSP: I got in because of my stress about not having anything to do this summer

So among my many fabulous successes, I also failed.. which sucked but oh well.. These failures include...

1. NSLI-Y: I super wanted to get into this summer program because Arabic is literally the coolest language ever but I didn't, which sucked.
2. APUSH Long Essay: Let's just say that 15 minutes is not long enough to write a very good long essay.

But life goes on. and on. and on until you die. Happy thoughts.

So in the interim, I'll be going to GSP, volunteering at FACE camp, and taking a super hard senior year schedule (which is a terrible idea but hahahahahhahaha).

Sorry about it future me.
