To The Class Of 2018

For the last four years, we've spent nearly all of our days together in the same old place, eagerly waiting in line to graduate. Finally, our year has come. Outside of those red and black doors, adulthood awaits.

In a few short months, we will all walk across that stage and step out into the real world. It's scary to think about how close it actually is, all of the stress, testing, homework, and all-nighters will finally pay off.

When we all take a look back at high school, hopefully, we will think of all the good times we've shared as opposed to the bad.

It's true when they say there's a last time for everything; whether it be our last prom, football game, or homecoming- it's all becoming very surreal.

Soon, we will all part ways and go in every direction. We will probably see each other seldom after this. It's crazy to even think that we won't see most of the people we've literally grown up with.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

We spend so much time wanting to leave, that we forget to stop and appreciate. We don't realize these truly are some of the best times of our lives.

So, as our year draws to an end, take a second to cherish the people around you.

High School can be either the best ride or the worst, but it's definitely what you make of it. It's always best to have no regrets, especially when the time comes for us to leave.

So thank you, LCHS for giving us the best of friends, teachers, and the best of times.
I hope everyone in our class succeeds with whatever comes next.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
