Yes seniors, you are almost free from the clutches of ridiculous high school policy and your parents constant nagging, but will you really be ready to face the world? Below you can find five signs you might not be ready just yet.
You only know how to make microwave dinners.
When you must rely upon yourself to create a meal, the stove and oven seem to be foreign objects. Ramen Noodles and Campbell’s canned soups become your best friends, easy to make and yummy to eat.
You haven’t memorized your social security number yet… or your drivers license number, or your bank account number or your new college ID number.
Who needs them, right? These may just be some of the most important numbers you’ll need for the rest of your life and in college, but you’ll find time to memorize them later.
You do your “fun” or “easy” homework first and the rest the night before the due date.
Sleepily you roll out of bed Sunday morning when horror strikes – tomorrow, all your homework will be due. Better start working on that collage for art, your research paper that Coach Dibley assigned three weeks ago can surely wait until tonight.
You can’t work the dishwasher or washing machine without help.
All those buttons and different soaps can be confusing, better just put the dishes in the sink and throw your clothes in a laundry hamper. Someone else will take care of it.
You come late to everything…
School, work and church have become events you sneak into five or ten minutes late. Sleep has become a precious and rare event that often causes your tardiness.
