It Goes Too Fast

It's finally here and almost over

It's finally here and almost half way over.

Senior year is the year I've longed for since 9th grade, I just couldn't wait to be done with school. Now we're almost half way through the school year and it's bitter sweet. I've worked so hard to get where I am today and it's scary to think that by this time next year I'll be six hours away from my family, going to college. I'm going to be on my own and I honestly don't know how I feel about that.

Everything is happening so fast, my last marching band season is almost over, homecoming was here and gone, we just had senior night, and it's almost the end of first semester. Graduation will be here before we know it.

everything is coming to an end way too fast.

Thank you to my family for believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself and pushing me to do my best. I wouldn't have made it here without you (literally, I probably would have failed)

Thank you to my friends who struggled with me. It was hard but we didn't have to do it alone. I love you guys, even the ones I don't talk to anymore.

Thank you to my teachers for pushing me and helping me achieve my goals. Thank you for teaching me not only how to find the perimeter of a triangle, (like I'll ever need it), but also teaching me life lessons that I will carry with me on to college and use through the rest of my life.

I've made so many amazing memories in high school and it just doesn't seem possible that I'm already a senior. Freshmen year was literally only 2 months ago it feels like. There were bad times, and times when I seriously thought I wouldn't pass to the next level, and times I was so overwhelmed with everything life was throwing at me that I would just cry. There were also amazing times that I will never forget and I will cherish forever. I made amazing friends and got rid of a few toxic ones but overall high school has been the best part of my life so far. I will carry these memories on with me and have amazing stories to tell one day.

I'm ready to take on the rest of my senior year and I will cherish every second of it because there May 22, 2017 is right around the corner.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
