6 Things to do While You're in High School
Becky Sturgill

High school is usually considered either the best four years of your life or your worst. I personally think that high school is made to sound more scary than it actually is. I have a list of the top ten things I think everyone should do before they leave high school.

1. Be a part of the chant team or cheering section at sporting events

I realize that not everyone is a fan of sports or a fan of being around crowds but, I highly recommend it. I've had so much fun being a part of my schools chant team and honestly nothing compares to it. Don't waste your high school experience by not getting involved.

2. Go to a party

I'm fully aware the the party scene is not for everyone, I get it. The reason this made the list is that I personally feel that everyone needs to have at least one memorable night to look back on. It doesn't even have to be a trashy teenage rager it can just be you and a few friends. Just have fun.

3. Take lots of pictures

When you're an adult with a family it's always nice to look back on all the great memories you had. Take pictures anytime you're feeling happy or having a good time. Those are the memories that will mean the most in the long run

4. Express your feelings

Whether it be your feelings toward your crush or a personal opinion towards something you feel strongly about, expressing how you feel is important. You always end up regretting all the chances you didn't take.

5. BE CONFIDENT

No one wants to be remembered as the person who was socially awkward and didn't talk to anyone. Confidence is sexy, and intriguing. Give everyone something to remember.

6. Leave an impression

Find a way to make your high school remember you for years to come. Write your name on desks, be apart of multiple clubs, get good grades, participate in sports, or just be a charismatic, fun, and exciting person to help your school remember you. You're only in high school once, make it count.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
