4 People Every Senior Needs To Thank Before Graduation
Mikayla Poindexter

Graduation is right around the corner for high school seniors, and with that comes writing a lot of thank you notes. These last couple of months are going to very hectic and you'll have many things to do, but just don't let these 4 people fall through the cracks.

1. Your Parents

For 18 years your parents have driven you to every school function, every track meet, every football game, and everything else you ever wanted to do. They have fed you and cared for you and now you're leaving them to make your own path.

Odds are this is harder for them than it is for you. So, make sure they know they are appreciated.

2. Your Siblings

Your siblings have also always been there to support you, even if they didn't want to be. Your parents probably dragged them to every event they had to go to, or if they were older than you, your parents probably turned them into your chauffeur.

Thank them for being people you can look up to and for always being someone you can go to with even the smallest problems.

3. Your Teachers and Coaches

Every day your teachers left their families and children to make sure other children had an education and means to do what they love. Most of them end up spending more time with their students then their kids, so they start to love their students as if they were their own kids.

Watching you grow up is hard for them, even though you don't think it would be. They have watched you grow and have had just as much impact as anyone in shaping you into the person you are today.

4. Your Friends

These are the people who have stuck by you through the good, bad, and ugly, and for the first time in years, you likely won't be seeing each other every day. Thank them for always being there for you and for always offering a shoulder to lean on. Most high school friends lose touch no matter how hard they try not too, so make sure you thank them while you still have the chance.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
