A Letter To My Fellow Seniors

Take it all in while you can.

High school is hard isn't it? I think all of us can agree on that. Lets step back and think about the good things about high school. The games that we cheered at, the friends we made, places we went, and the family we gained.

There are so many things in high school that are important to us, but we don't realize it until after it's gone. There are also bad times like losing friends, or struggling in a class. Though the times are tough right away we need to realize that it's not the end of the world. The bad times prepare us for much more and something which is far greater than what we could ever imagine. We have fun in high school but we don't take it in like we should. This year is supposed to be the greatest year of our high school career.

I challenge you to just take time to remember the good times, and the bad because in the end you know you will never forget what you did in high school. Take it all in while you can because this time is almost up. Make more friends that you know you can talk to even when you go to college. Have those people you know you can count on be your best friends because you know that friendship will never die no matter how far apart you are.

Seniors I feel very blessed to be apart of this class, and I am ready to take this year in with you all and make memories we will never forget. Let's finish the year strong and prepare ourselves for our next step in life.

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

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?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"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:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
