To the high school senior who is having the time of their life... Enjoy it! You're only a high school senior once in your life. Soon you'll be a college freshman, and here are some things you need to know before you jump in.

1. Involve yourself in things you genuinely care about and enjoy, not just in things that look good on a resume.

2. No one, literally, no one cares what you wear. If it's comfortable, go for it!

3. Time flies, especially during that first semester of college. Take time to stop and take it all in.

4. It's okay to be the last person in the room to finish a test. You probably just aced it.

5. Don't have the "broke college student" mentality. Do what you want for fun but be responsible and you'll be okay.

6. Ask for help. It makes you look smart, not dumb.

7. It's okay to say no. That club meets every week, it's okay if you miss it every once in a while.

8. Go to the games. Have some school spirit. Take pride in your school.

9. Own it! Be responsible, study hard, and have a little fun.
