16 and senseless

I'm about a week into being sixteen, and I've got nothing. 

I don't even have my permit. I practiced in a parking lot once and didn't even use the gas pedal...kind of embarrassing. My grades are kind of slipping. I don't understand anything in math while everyone else does, same with chemistry, history, I guess everything. I used to be so smart! Sure. I am taking advanced classes, but still, I can't seem to wrap my head around anything! Like just today we had a history test, our first of the year, and all my smart friends said it was hard. I didn't think it was that hard though, so that's probably my sign I got everything wrong. 

I don't have a job (well, I tutored my neighbors kid last year, but I don't know if that's gonna happen again this year), Never had a real boyfriend, and getting dumber by the day. (hopefully this isn't true though) 

I don't really know if anything's really supposed to change after your birthday, but i feel nearly the exact same. only change is that I'm older and behind. 


Sincerely, Sandra.

i felt similarly when i was your age!

i didn't get a job until i was 18 or 19. i had AWFUL driving phobia/anxiety. my grades TANKED even tho i was smart or "gifted" or whatever, and i especially struggled in math. didn't have many friends and certainly didn't have a bf/gf.

i'm now a manager at a shitty fast food joint, which isn't the greatest but it's a comfy gig and i like my coworkers, i've been here for almost 5 years. i got my license two years ago at 25 y/o and i drive every day without a problem. i also met the love of my life and got married--and it was my first serious long-term relationship!

you'd be surprised by what you will be able to accomplish in the future. if i could go back and talk to my 16 y/o self he would probably pass tf out with shock and disbelief lol.

everything will be ok eventually! just hang in there <3
