Dear Graduating Seniors,

High school is almost over. While this is a very exciting time with prom, graduation, and the best four years of your life right in front of you, it is important to cherish the time you have left with your friends from high school. You only have a few months left with some of the people that you've grown up with. Here are 10 things you should do before you all part ways in August.

1. Go on random late night car rides. 

Some of the best nights of your life are spent driving in a car with your best friends until 2 A.M. When you go to college, you most likely won't have access to a car. Grab your keys, go pick up your best friends, and go for a late night drive. You won't regret it.

2. Eat at your favorite hometown spots. 

Take advantage of all the food you love at home. Trust me, you will definitely miss your mom's home cooked meals, and your favorite restaurants in your hometown. College is great, but the food definitely isn't!

3. Go for a beach trip. 

This an obvious summer activity, but take time to plan trips with your friends and family. If your high school hosts a Senior Weekend at the beach... GO! Get tan and make some memories!

4. Go to graduation parties. 

Graduation season is a very busy time, but take advantage of all the final get-togethers. Soon, you won't be seeing the people who have seen everyday since elementary school.

5. Spend time with the people who matter most. 

It is important to remember to make time for the people who matter most While it is fun to spend the summer with friends, it is also important to spend time with family. For many people, college is the first time they are completely independent. This summer, hang out with your Dad, go see a movie with your Mom, and drive your little annoying brother around because soon you won't see them everyday.

Enjoy the summer, and get ready for the best four years of your life!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
