Dear Senior reading this. Can you believe it's the end of your senior year already? Senior year really does fly by doesn't it? This is your last summer before you all go away to college. Right about now I'm sure the tears have happened on your last day of school and your group of friends has made a pact to never split up. But listen to me when I say make this summer the best summer you've had so far and make the most incredible memories.

Go out with them every chance you get. Even if you think you don't want to go out, trust me, go out. You will regret the nights you wanted to stay in when you all go to different schools. Sometimes you have the best times when you least expect it.

Stay out as late as you can. I've found the best memories are made late at night. Drive with the windows down, blast music, sing with your friends. Just enjoy the simple things like this late at night. I promise you won't regret it.

Take lots and lots of pictures and Snapchats. You will find yourself looking back at these more than you think. Each picture will also remind you of all the memories associated with it. I'm not saying be on your phone the whole night or record EVERYTHING. But, record and photograph a good amount. This pictures will mean so much to you later.

Have as many sleepovers as you can. Sleepovers with your best friends are truly irreplaceable and you will miss them when you go to different places. Trust me, you don't know how much you will miss them until the school year starts and you can no longer call and ask if they want to sleep over.

Moral of the story is, spend as much time as you can with your best friends and make the best memories. You're going to miss the comfort of having them so close.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
