I thought the year before that was the hardest. Too much mindless quantity and as a result a serious lack of motivation. They tried to prep us for college in my senior year by triggering very interesting debates in class about just anything and having a lot of oral exams (even about math, I still don't fully grasp the point of releasing that on an already terrified student under normal circumstances, but in other courses it was quite neat). Thus quality improved, and they teached us a lot of new things, about how to succesfully do a presentation, using PP, the power of bodylanguage and your voice to intrigue an audience, and so on. You get closer to your teachers and your friends. Nostalgia will hit you pretty hard, knowing you'll never go back to this, but the onsight of experiencing college (which is amazing btw) is pretty exciting aswell. Don't overstress it, just try to ad a new dimension to the way you look at your studybooks, like finding the essence of things, or looking at a subject through the eyes of a different philosphy and you'll be fine.
