Yes, as the title implies, this post is dedicated to my dear friend Kamilah and all her awesomeness! When I read her blog post, for a break from studying psychology, I got to thinking about how I was like Miss Kamilah my last year in high school. I was involved in a LOT of things, from the plays (and everything associated with that), to Interact, to Student Council, to Student Improvement Committee. I remember that it was great when it all begin I thought it was wonderful, but I wasn’t exactly an ace at a little thing called “time management” and I’m still working on the art of that. But I must say that Miss Kamilah, I commend you for being able to be in all of those rather time consuming sciences, and not completely sink. I was in Biology, and I still passed by the skin of my teeth, but I didn’t try. Mr. Quick hated me for it, I hate me for it. So if you feel overwhelmed, it just means that you’re human, and you can’t do everything. So before you decide to take on more things, remember that you are indeed 17 and are infact entitled to have fun your grad year, and enjoy every minute of it. Leave the stress and sleepless nights for university (something Erik didn’t do in grade 11, and I highly doubt his grad year). So take my advice, if you find that something has to give, don’t let that thing be your school work. And have fun girlie! You are an awesome person, and I have learned so much from you, even though you might not know it. Also meeting you Miss Kamilah was one of the BEST things that could have happend to me and I love you for it!
So have fun, leave the stressful, sleepless, “i’m so tired, I’m only surviving on coffee” nights for university. Engineering is stressful as it is. You’ll need to conserve your all your energy so that you don’t suffer from a burn out.
Much love always,
Jenn
