Dear Class of 2017,

You finally did it: you're seniors in high school. You have been waiting for this moment since you were freshman, maybe even longer. You're the top dogs of the school, its a great feeling isn't?

As a high school graduate, I can tell you that senior year was by far the best year of high school. Between the Friday night football games to homecoming to your senior prom, what could be better?

It may sound stupid and cliche but your senior year will go by way too fast. One day you're walking into your first class and next thing you know you're walking across that stage at graduation. It will happen within the blink of an eye.

So enjoy all the little things. As you enter your first day of senior year, start to take everything in. This is the last first day of high school your last first time going to your new locker and so on.

So go to football games,

and the pep rallies.

Homecoming,

basketball games,

and PROM.

Because once it's over, you're not going to be able to do it again.

Senior year is about the memories and having as much fun with your friends before you all go your separate ways.

Take it day by day,

and don't take anything for granted.

Much love,

a class of 2016 graduate
