To The Summer After High School When We First Met

No, it's not an ode to Katy Perry. It's literally about the summer after high school.

No this isn't a love story or an Oath to Katy Perry's song. This is literally about the summer after high school. The summer when you create these amazing friendships and create the best memories.

The summer after high school was one of my favorite summers. I'm about three years out of high school and I still remember it like it was yesterday. I felt like it was non-stop friends and non-stop partying. Like all the time. Senior week, graduation parties, goodbye parties, beach trips, and some days by the pool.

The summer after high school is probably one of the shortest summers ever but, it's also the best. There's not much time to do everything you want to do before you go away to college. Between all the dorm shopping, working to save money and all those grad parties, you want to make time for those important friends. You somehow realize who you're real friends are. The people you constantly want to spend time with you before you leave.

The summer after high school you create these friendships with people that are different than all the other types of friendships you have. You become friends so fast. You have all these plans to get done in a short amount of time. You want to spend all this time with these new friends before you leave, so you do stupid things together. The most random things. But you don't want to waste any time so they do not seem stupid to you. They are just little memories to add to this awesome summer. Yes, it sucks creating these friendships so close to leaving. These friendships are different, though. These friendships are drama free and full of fun. It's one of the best friendships to have.

This is why I'll always remember my summer after high school because I created some really awesome friendships and had the time of my life. Shout out to you guys for making it a great summer.

So for you graduating seniors, take advantage of this short summer. Don't sit around waiting for plans or a party. Go out and do stupid things with your friends. When you go away to college you'll miss these little moments you've had with your best friends. These moments don't come very often. Whether it's all day partying by the pool or beach or just driving around eating ice cream, take advantage of those moments because one day you will want them back.

And ps.. be cautious and safe. No one wants to get in trouble with the law right before college and risk being grounded. A.K.A senior week and Memorial Day weekend.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
