Dear Hollister city lights,

I miss you. I miss every aspect of you. even parts that i don't like. I miss the laughs, the jokes, the hours and hours of hard work, the tears, the sweat, the music, the choreography, I miss it all.


Most importantly, I miss the family that hollister city lights is. The bond that we all share is unlike any other group, stronger than any other group. when I think of show choir, I think of the stories we tell. I think of the early morning rehearsals when we turn the fans on full blast because of the work we endure. I think of the day we get costumes, and how our eyes light up with excitement like we're little kids again. I think of "show choir saturday's" and being at competition all day so our hard work pays off.

Our group is a group unlike any other. We come from all different cliques in the school. from athletics, to thespians, to "outcasts", to academics, to band, and whatever else you can possibly think of. We have it.

This group has brought me closer to people who I never once thought would be part of my life is such a big way. I have grown to not be afraid to step out of my comfort zone and try to new things because of hcl.

It's even taught me pain, and heartbreak. but like I have said time and time again, this group is a family. And if one of us is fighting, we're all fighting. and we come up stronger.


Each and every single of one of us will walk through our life's a little different than others, simply because of what show choir has taught us.

Endurance, hard work, kindness, compassion, confidence, drive, and so much more.

Hollister city lights, I miss you. and I pray to see you all again

-Kylee

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
