To The Class Of '17, My Senior Class

Time flies when you're spending it with some people as great as I did

To The Class Of '17, My Senior Class

We made it!!!

At times it felt like senior year would never come. As a freshman, four years sounded like four years too long! However, we are here now with only a few days left of senior year, and the bittersweet feelings towards graduation are setting in.

I hope you all succeed in whatever you do after graduation, I will miss each and every one of you.

Of course, we expect to miss our close friends that are going to different colleges than we are, but I will miss them along with so many more. Every classmate of mine has become so very special to me in a way I can not even explain, and my heart breaks to think these next few days could be some of our last ever together. I wish each of you the very best of luck wherever life takes you after graduation. Don't be afraid to make mistakes or to make new friends — don't be afraid of change. Be brave, confident, and most of all be yourself because you have all worked so hard to get here, and you deserve to be successful.

Thank you.

Thank you, Class of 2017, for every laugh, smile, tear, and memory you have shared with me. Thank you for sharing such a precious time of your life with me. Thank you all for being my friends, and never letting me forget how many friends a person can have. I promise to make these last few days we have together the best they can possibly be because that is what we all deserve. We will leave our legacy on this school as a class to be remembered for its friendship. To the class of 2017, thank you.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
