9 Things To Do Before You Leave High School
Amya Gulati

While high school definitely isn't everyone's best four years, there are a few things you need to do before your senior year becomes a part of the past.

Take a day trip with your friends

Senior year gives most of us a little leniency to go out with our friends more often, and it's important to take advantage of that.

Go to the school games

Even if your school sucks at sports, attend a game or two and give in to the school spirit.

Talk to your teachers

Teachers, the good and the bad ones, have a large part in shaping your high school experience. Teachers are more open to their seniors as the school year progresses, and you'll probably have the opportunity to get to communicate with them on a deeper level. It's always interesting to get to know your teacher as a person.

Talk to the people you never really interacted with before, too

Instead of sticking with your same old friend group for the rest of the year, branch out and talk to people you never had the change to interact with before. You never know who you might make a friend out of.

Go through your old high school yearbooks/mementos 

Going through my old yearbooks and pictures throughout the years always made me a little nostalgic. You get to see yourself grow and are able to look back at all the memories you made from the time you were a freshman to now.

Skip class

You've got to do this at least once before you graduate. The penalty shouldn't be too severe, either (that is, if you get caught).

Attend every senior event

Most high schools do their best to make senior year a memorable time for the students, so skipping a senior event that essentially takes you out of class is pointless.

Don't you dare skip prom

It's the last time you'll see everyone from your grade in the same room together and actually be able to talk to most of them (graduation is too hectic).

Go to school the day before graduation 

Your last full day of school is something you're going to want to be there for. It's the last time you will attend class, see familiar faces in the hall, eat gross cafeteria food, and race to the parking lot in order to beat traffic.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
