A Letter To My High School Friends

Thank you for all the memories.

A Letter To My High School Friends
Alison Moore

Well, hello there, stranger.

How have you been? It is hard to believe we have been out of high school for about a year now. I remember we were all stressing out about the ACT or SAT so we could get into that dream college of ours. We would constantly think that we ran the school and could do what we wanted whenever such as roaming the halls when we were supposed to be in class. Senior year was something that I will always remember thanks to all of you. You filled it with many memories.

It is so weird that we barely even talk now. We keep up with one another on social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We occasionally comment on something one of us has posted, and that is when all the memories come flooding back. Just this week I have been seeing all of y'all's pictures from your amazing times on spring break. I sometimes wish we would have kept in touch better over this past year. We all were told that you will most likely lose touch with you high school friends and unfortunately, I have seen that that is true.

I hope you are doing well. Since we barely talk anymore, I have no clue what all you have experienced and went through without me. Its crazy how we go to pending all of our time with the same people for four years and then after a year at college, we have made completely new friends and barely speak.

The memories from cheerleading games, classes when we did absolutely nothing in and lunches that we had the weirdest conversations at will forever be engraved in my memory. The endless number of pictures I took throughout the years will always be available for me to reminisce on and think back the days when all we cared about was the latest gossip about who was dating who and what we made on the easy little test.

As we all now by now, high school is nothing compared to college. The one class we thought was so tough in high school is our easiest in college. I hope you all are succeeding in your college career and if not, it is OK. College is tough, and as long as you are trying your absolute hardest, it will be worth it.

Lastly, I want to thank you. Thank you for giving me the best high school experience a girl could have. Thank you for being there for me when I needed you and being amazing friends. Hopefully we will all catch up soon but for now keeping up with y'all on social media will have to do. Keep striving to do your best and do not let that guy/or girl ruin your college experience. Take in every moment you get and do not be afraid to put down those notes you have been studying for hours and go make new memories for you to remember forever.

Love,

Your high school friend

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
