11 Things To Remember As A High School Senior

Lexi Pilz

Going into your last year of highschool seems like a breeze, but it is much harder than it feels. Lots of people have many regrets by the end of it all and even want to repeat the year. When everyone tells you it goes by fast they are not lying. So these are some things to remeber to make your senior year a success so buckle up and ride this year out with no regerts... or well regrets.

1. Always tell your family about your day.

You may not think it is important, but to them it means the world.

2. Go to every football game even if your boyfriend is older than you.

It will be important once you do not have the option to go ever again you will regret not going

3. Make as many memories with your best friends as possible

By summer you might not have the time to make any By summer you will be insanely busy so hang out with your friends and take tons of pictures.

4. Say goodbye to your favorite teachers because you never know if they'll be there when you come visit.

If you do not say goodbye to them when you leave you may never get the chance to you never know when they'll move on!

5. Enjoy the things you do every year such as Marching band or the Talent Show or maybe even orchestra because the last time will come fast

The last time hits you like a boulder as you stand as a senior, but live that bittersweet moment up!

6. Do not be afraid to cry sometimes its bittersweet being a senior

Everything is happy, yet is sad near the end. So cry. It is normal. Soak it up.

7. Study study study! Senior year is not easy.

Well that one explains itself... do not become a senior again.

8. Smile as much as you can.

Smiling is not always easy, but enjoy these days they are the easy ones

9. Buy the tassel and cup and key ring. I promise you'll never use them again, but you'll be happy you have them.

It is unnecessarily expensive, but you'll want it when it all ends.

10. Do not be afraid to go crazy at graduation cry, scream, laugh it is the last chance to do so as a kid

This is the last time to really live it up its a huge accomplishment and a goodbye live it up.

Bonus tip: Do not take anything for granted.

Even the little things should mean the world!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
