I remember junior year; it was totally what you are describing. Like where you are going and preparing for college, and everything, and all that you thought you knew changes!
I don't think that you were in denial about your life being in a good place; maybe it is just so overwhelming right now that it feels like it? IDK. Maybe not. I feel sad too, and I try to think about that because I am also at a changing point in my life...trying to buy a house....scary and not ready?!
