An Open Letter To Those Who Graduate In May
Jordyn

You are almost done.

You are in the home stretch.

But that means you can't give up.

You have to keep fighting.

Forget about the senioritis.

This is the last semester to make it count.

This is the last semester that you are in college.

You then move to the real world.

Where you start adulting.

Where you get a real job.

It seems scary at the time.

But all the years of college has prepared you for this.

For this next phase of your adventure.

This is your last syllabus week.

This is your last winter at your college.

This is your last semester to get snow days.

This is your last semester to be with friends.

This is your last semester of living with your roommates.

So make it count.

Have fun with your roommates.

Cherish your late night heart to hearts.

Watch this season of Bachelor with them.

Go out for dinners.

Order that Chinese food when you are stressed.

Do things you wouldn't normally do.

Make memories.

Smile and laugh often.

Make this semester your best one yet.

Because before you know it, it will be all over and you will graduate.

Graduation still seems far away but it is right around the corner.

This semester will fly by and everything will be over before you know it.

And once you graduate, you will want to do college all over again.

So best of luck on your last semester and make it count.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

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.
