1. Spend as much time with your friends as possible.

When you're in high school, you have this belief that you and your friend group will always be close. You have survived the past four years of classes, exams, sporting events, boring assemblies, and even awkward dances. I hate to ruin your dream, but you will probably all go in different directions after you walk across the stage and receive your diploma. Some friends do stay close throughout life, but the likelihood of you and your entire friend group remaining best buds is pretty impossible. You will attend different colleges and universities, pursue different careers, get married and have children at different times or not at all, and even possibly move somewhere besides the place you grew up. This depressing news being said, you still have one last semester to make the best memories.

2.Take a lot of pictures.

You might not be the selfie queen or the king of social media, but pictures are a way to see a time that is only in your memories. You might forget about things you've done or the photograph might remind you of something else. I look back on photographs from different points in my life and it reminds me of who I was and who I have become. These memories are something you will want to capture and hold close forever. You can't go back in time and say, "I want to relive the state championship game or my senior prom, but you can surely pull up photographs from those important life events and reminisce.

3. Get EVERYONE to sign your yearbook.

Teachers, classmates, friends, coaches, teammates, underclassmen, and even administration. You might never look through your yearbooks again, but if you do, you don't want to open it to an empty signature page. Having it filled will give you a sense of belonging and even let you see how people thought of you. Granted, you will get a few, "Have a great summer!"s and, "Good luck with College!"s, but there will most likely be a few heartfelt compositions in there that will spark memories.

4. Do all of the cheesy things.

Dances and proms. homecomings, pep rallies, sporting events, talent shows, and even the senior trip or picnic. Don't skip out on making memories and making the best of your last year as a high school student for the sake of looking, "cool", because when you graduate, you will realize that even the "cool kids," weren't cool.

5. Take it all in.

Pay attention during your graduation and awards ceremonies. Get involved. Don't let these last few months pass by without you at least enjoying the winning touchdown or the quiet girl singing the best solo ever. Don't let life pass you by because you want to be cool or because you think it's unimportant. You never know what could happen to you or others, so spend your time wisely and enjoy your senior year!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
