While applying to college is scary, the idea of graduating and moving on is one of the most daunting feelings a teen can experience. It is a mixture of appreciation, excitement, and terror -- something that haunted me throughout my senior year of high school. I felt stressed about my future, worried about where I was, yet excited to explore what lay ahead. It is that feeling that led me to create Dear Senior Year the summer after graduating; to express every teen's way of saying, "I don't want to grow up."
