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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
