From The High School Senior With 100 Days To Go Before Graduation

The best is yet to come!

With about 100 days until graduation, I'm itching to be done.

While most people look back on high school as some of the best times in their life, it's doubtful that I will.

Don't get me wrong, I made a few real friends, and enjoyed a Friday night football game as much as the next student, but the clubs and activities and pep rally's were not for me.

For most of my high school years, I pretty much kept to myself. I tried to mingle every now and then but I had moved around and attended different schools throughout the years so I never moved on to the next grade school with the same people. Once I got into high school after attending two different middle schools that moved onto other high schools, I knew NO ONE, and didn't try to know anyone either.

I was involved in relationships my freshmen through my junior year, and my senior year has consisted of various dual enrollment classes, working, and only two classes at my actual high school, so I haven't made socializing within my school a big priority, and as we've gotten older I've realized some of these people aren't the kind of pals I need to have around anyways. I've been extremely busy, and not super involved in my high school years but I see it as a blessing because it has opened so many other doors for me.

I have a great group of friends outside of school, and no regrets because I'm most excited about what is to come in my college years.

New environment, new people, new places. It's a fresh start filled with new opportunities and I can't wait to walk across that stage and move on to a brand new chapter of life.

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.
