An Open Letter To My High School Friends That Are Literally The Highlights Of My School Career
Simrit Shawla

Dear Srihitha, Srinidhi, and Snigdha,

Senior year is flying by, and before we know it, we will be out of here. Our lives are about to completely change, from not seeing each other in the hallways all the time to not even eating lunch everyday together. It is scary to think that four years of high school flew by.

It feels like we were just freshman, complaining about all the workload from Honors Biology and AP Human Geography. We've grown since the time we were freshmen, and honestly, I just wish we could restart high school. I know y'all would want to, too.

First of all, I love y'all. You guys have helped me become who I am today. Many people have come and left our group *cough cough, y'all know who*, yet we have a million happy memories that has helped make us a family. Even more, junior year was the year where we all truly became closer.

From our daily drama spills during lunch to our references from our favorite shows, you guys are truly one of a kind. Everyone needs friends like you guys! I don't know what I would do without you all. You guys are my navigation, my best friends, my rays of hope, my ride-or-dies, and my medicine. You guys mean the world to me, and I can't even describe how much you mean to me.

When I look back through junior, sophomore, and freshman year, I think of all our jokes and struggles with the stupid teachers at our school. Our mini games we played during lunch, like Paranoia, to just talking about the future. I loved all our memories together even though it would be a huge struggle to get everyone to hang out outside of school.

Whether it was Holi or Garba, we always took countless pictures, and we literally looked like babies back in freshman year. We all had a huge glow up from freshman year to now being seniors. Wow, it feels weird saying seniors because we have been waiting for this moment ever since we were freshmen!

I was going through my camera roll, and I found our 8th grade formal pictures. I knew from 8th grade that you guys were definitely the best friends anyone can ask for! Here's a before picture:


And after picture. We have truly had a huge glow up since then, and I know all of you guys can agree with that!

I am literally so thankful to have friends who will always be there for me, who are the only ones that cheer me up, the only ones who will be willing to do anything for me, the only ones who care about me the most!

I sometimes wish I was Telugu because you guys are Telugu, and Telugu movies are absolutely the cutest. However, I'm a honorary Telugu who has watched 10 Telugu movies! I am slowly making my way through all the cute, funny, and historical movies.

Literally everyone needs a Srihitha, a Srinidhi, and a Snigdha in their life. Without you guys, life would be very boring and plain, just like vanilla. All three of you are the most sweetest people anyone will ever meet; you are my motivation through everything. You believe in me more than I believe in myself. If people don't have friends like you, they need to find them.

You are the only reason why I'm never lost because you are my navigation. You are my GPS to guide me through the tough obstacles on the way to get me to my destination.

I am so glad I moved to meet 3 amazing friends that are always there for me during every milestone no matter what. Y'all will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for always having my back no matter what.


Love,

Joey (a.k.a. Simrit)

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

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.
