Assignment 24 - Junior Year - Averi Ricks

If I'm being 100% honest, junior year takes the cake for the worst school year I've ever had. It started out good; I got my spot on varsity (volleyball) and I had some good games here and there, but after I hurt my shoulder, I kinda lost my spot on the team because my abilities were limited, so that sucked. And then to top things off, I tore my ACL! And then, the party train kept on going because I missed the last two weeks of school because of surgery which meant I didn't have a winter break because I had to catch up on work and I also had to take finals in January while simultaneously keeping up with the work that was due everyday! All of this piled on top of each other made me extremely depressed and anxiety ridden if I'm being completely honest. But, I did realize that I don't want to play volleyball in college, so I guess that's a positive that came out of it. And then of course corona happened but I really needed this break so I'm not complaining at all. This summer, I intend on getting my license (I couldn't drive for a while because of my knee :) ) and if quarantine lets up I wanna do stuff with my friends and just have a lot of fun. For my senior year, I want it to be as calm and stress free as possible. I of course hope I get into my top schools for college, but if I don't, it won't be the end of the world. I plan on reaching my goals by working on my procrastination and worrying less about the outcomes of things and just letting whatever happens happen.
