Hurray, the holidays are here! After three years of High school, it feels really weird to be finished, I’ve been waiting for this so long and then in an instant it’s over. Suddenly I find myself standing before an ocean of free time, and I can’t wait to dive into it. One thing that I find interesting is how quickly your daily routine can change during a holiday. During a revision period, I would be thrilled to have an evening without homework, whereas now I can sleep for 10 hours and be lazy all day without thinking about it. It’ll be weird not to have that voice in my head that says “shouldn’t you be doing some more homework?” all the time. What I look forward to the most is that now I can do the things I usually don’t have time for, like watching lots of episodes of my favourite TV-shows, work on my design and coding skills, practice violin properly etc. The only thing I don’t like about this holiday is that I don’t have a job, which would be nice to have, and since many of my friends are working I feel a bit left out.

For me, it’s weird to think about the fact that I’m actually done with High school, it almost feels like it was yesterday that finishing High school seemed like a distant cloud in the horizon. It’s a bit sad that all the people that I’ve spent so much time with during the last years are suddenly disappearing, and somehow it doesn’t feel real to me that many of my friends won’t be that close anymore. Hopefully we’ll be able to keep in touch, and it’s going to be really exiting to see what everyone does with their life. For me, this is kind of the start of a new period in life, there are so many choices to make compared to before, many of us will get a place of their own soon, and we are slowly beginning to move into the adult world. It feels both exiting and a little frightening to think about, but I do believe that I’ll enjoy it eventually. Before I reach that stage, however, I’ll have to work on my relationship with our couch, which has been severely neglected during the past few months.
