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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
