An Open Letter To High School Seniors

Ok so half of the year is over the thought of graduation comes closer and closer every day, week, and month that past by. I know what it feels like I have been there.

The first thing I want to talk about is not to worry about the future because it will all happen on its own but the biggest thing is make sure you are happy. Making yourself happy is the thing you can do for yourself because it brings out the best in you and no one can take that away.

The next thing I want to say is do what you want to in college. Don't follow a major that makes money if you aren't going to be happy doing it. Don't make yourself wake up in the future and go to a job that you hate because you shouldn't have to. If you want to go to school for music do it. If you want to go for art do it. If people weren't successful in these career paths there wouldn't be a major for it. Don't let you high school guidance counselor scare you because I can tell you I learned from experience. When I was going to high school I thought computers is what I wanted to do with the rest of my life but it really wasn't and I knew this because I wasn't happy.

The next is the summer ahead of you enjoy it because you will regret if you don't. This is your last summer before college starts and make sure you have the best time of your life. Pull all nighters, go camping and just live life on the edge because you will have all the memories when you go off to college.You can make a photo chain around your dorm off all the things you did this summer and everyday you will take jog around memory lane or when you are upset you can look and laugh at all the goofy pictures.

Always remember live life on the edge and take chances becuase those are the times you will always remember for the rest of your life!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
