| 2009 is here. It's my last year of high school, my last year of putting on that Warrior lacrosse uniform, my last year living with my parents, my last year of New Jersey.
Everyone always has those regrets that they wish they did something better back in high school. I'm jumping on the bandwagon and saying that I wish I tried harder academically in school. I actually wished that I had gone to private school instead of a public school. Sure, private school kids may be tools, douche bags, bitches, etc. But hey, there's a reason private schools are called private schools. Better academics, athletics. I wish I put myself in a better position for college; I believe private school could have put me there. Putting academics aside, high school's been a hell of a ride. I feel that I can truthfully say that there's not much I regret doing in my four years of high school.
Resolutions?
-End high school with a bang
-Have fun
-Don't do anything stupid
-Stay true to myself
-Have a great senior season of lacrosse
The idea of college really scares me. I'm not one who moves on very easily. I know that college is the place where I can reinvent myself, but what if I'm content with who I am now? I've spent 17 (almost 18) years finding my niche in New Jersey. Why must I spend four years in a foreign environment starting over? Could it be that I am not yet pushed to my potential in Shitsville, New Jersey? Perhaps once I'm in college, I'll realize why college is so special. It's the one chance where you get to live on yourself. No more depending on mommy and daddy. I guess I just hold high school close to my heart. It'll be hard to find the same people here once I graduate. These people are the ones that I've gone through everything with. They're the ones who've been there at your worst teenage moments, and your best moments. I'm not ready to let high school go.
"We're going to graduate. That's going to happen. Nothing is going to slow down.

| Senior year is not at all what I expected it to be. From what people told me, I expected to bullshit all my classes, do whatever I wanted, and goof off with my friends. It hasn't even been a full month of school, and I'm already suffering like never before. I never have energy during school, my lacrosse motivation is dead, and just everything else in between is giving me a lot of white hairs.
I'm stuck in a college/lacrosse dilemma. I have two choices...
-Go to a decently good school (at least for my standards), but play only club lacrosse since they don't have a legitimate team (I wasn't recruited to play at the prestigious schools like Princeton, Hopkins, or Duke. I'm not THAT good).
or-Go to a school that's not as good academically, but play on a legitimate team, and possibly start my freshman year. Playing a sport in college is an opportunity that doesn't come along too often. I know I would regret it if I passed on playing real college lacrosse. But do I want to spend the next four years of my life at a place knowing I could be somewhere better? _____________________________________________________________________________________ High School Musical 3 comes out soon. I need to get the soundtrack ey-es-ey-pee.  I want to be a Jabbawockee for halloween.

Step Up 2 was actually a good movie. Way better than the first.
Lacrosse season starts Thursday. Tomorrow will be my last day of freedom. I need to enjoy it.

| I had a meeting with my lacrosse coach after school to discuss my college choices. He said to name five schools that I would want to apply regardless of my current grades, cost, and location. So I said USC, Boston College, UMich, UC Berkeley, Northwestern. Who WOULDNT want go to those schools right? I guess what he expected schools closer to Jersey and where I could play lacrosse. I'm gonna be honest; my grades aren't exactly like Boo's or Justin's grades. I'm definitely nowhere near as hardworking as they are. He told me to go home and research schools that have my major of interest (Accounting) and a school where I could do well in school and play successfully. So far, a small handful of schools seem right.

| An excerpt taken from an ESPN article
 
Finally, can you guess the last thing we heard as we were walking
(OK, hustling) out of the stadium right after the final play? That's
right, it was the sound of euphoric Giants fans chanting, "Eighteen and
one! Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one!" Yes, it's safe to say the
Boston-New York rivalry has been taken to new heights. As a tennis
umpire would say, "Advantage, New York."
Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one! Eighteen and one!
I can still hear them. I will always hear them.
