To Graduating High School Seniors,

The day has finally come — you're officially a high school graduate! You should be so proud of yourself and your accomplishments, along with making it this far! High school could've been rough at times, I know, but overall, you finally made it and I hope you're able to reflect back on these past four years on a positive note!

Graduating high school is going to seem so surreal at first because you felt as if this day would never come — but it did! It'll feel strange for a while, even once you begin college or anything regarding your future. However, that sense of surrealism will pass and you'll slowly begin to adjust to this new life after high school!

With that being said, now that high school is finished, you have your whole life ahead of you which also leaves more room for bigger and better things! You no longer have a set schedule every day, you won't see the same faces every day, and finally, you won't feel as confined anymore! Yes, there will be times where you'll find yourself reminiscing and feeling lost, but my advice to you — do not get hung up on the past, especially high school!

Sure, these past four years were probably the best four years or maybe even the worst. Either way, don't get so caught up and dwell on it. You're allowed to miss and look back on all of the memories and good times —but you also have to remember that there is so much more out there in the world and in your future, besides high school.

Graduating high school is such an important and exciting milestone in your life — but this also means you're onto your next chapter that consists of so many more milestones. So go out there, enjoy yourself, and make your mark!

This your time now and you've only just begun!

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:

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.

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.
