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.

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?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

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!)
