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)

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
