To my graduating class,

We’ve been waiting for our senior year for the past couple years and we finally made it. To be completely honest, I can not wait to move far far away from our stupid little town and most of you. I wish I could say that I loved high school like a lot of people can, but moving to our school was honestly one of the worst decisions my family has made. Due to me being allergic to chlorine and our school not having a pool, I didn’t really have a choice though.

I’ve been trying to make the best out of this place since I moved here Freshman year. I’ve met some incredible people and quite a few horrible people. Whether you had a positive or negative impact on the past 3 or 4 years of my life I genuinely hope that once we are done with this stupid high school and everyone goes their own ways, that you are happy and successful with whatever it is you’re doing or wherever you may be.

I’m still counting down the days until June 5th when I’m finally done with everything here. I can not wait to move to college and away from here. I’m sure some of you feel the same. I’m not really sure why most people here are so mean and negative, but I hope those of you who are changing and like I said before, end up happy in a good place.

A lot of people say high school is the best years of your life and I’m just being honest but these past 4 years have been hell. I miss my old high school and would do anything to go back there. On the other side, there have been some really good moments. The football team won the conference thing (I don’t remember what it’s called exactly I’m sorry) this year, our marching band keeps winning just like they do every year, our cheerleaders got 1st place at their first competition, TV News is still one of the best things about our school (most of you hate it but the people in it love it so), the art department is still kicking ass like always, TSA wins stuff all the time, most (practically all) of our sports teams are so good, I could go on for a while about some good things about it.

Whether you loved high school or hated it, we went through it together, and on graduation day everything changes. We either go on to college, work, whatever you may be doing after this. It’s the start of the rest of our lives. So, if you love high school, or hate it like I do, make the most out of the rest of this year. This is the last time we get to be high schoolers. Stop hating each other for no reason, stop spreading rumors, stop believing rumors you hear, make new friends, forgive people for the stupid bullshit they did or didn’t do, and have fun because like I said before, this is it. Before you know it we’ll be sitting on the football field on June 5th listening to the words, “Congratulations class of 2018”.

Sincerely,

Your classmate who was ready to graduate last year.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
