To Those Who Think They Won't Make It Through Highschool

There are times that you are walking around and you wonder, why am I here? Is it even worth it? My answer to you is yes, it is so worth it and you can do it. All of the mean things that are said and all of the struggles you face are worth it. The pain of losing a friend or losing a boyfriend or girlfriend you thought you would be with forever are worth it. Do not give up.

There were times during my own high school career when I thought I just wanted to give up and forget school. I am so glad I stuck with it. Being in high school is sometimes the worst feeling. Rumors get spread by the girl that is jealous of you or you failed that big test you studied all week for. I have been in both situations and it is not fun. Been there, done that. Despite it all, I came out okay in the end.

Right now, I am attending the college of my dreams to do what I love, which is riding and dealing with horses. I love the feeling of being able to get up and go to the barn and study what I have worked for my entire life, which is not long but it still means a lot. However, none of it would have been possible if I hadn’t stuck it out in high school. I am not saying that it is horrible to not stay in school, because high school is not always for everyone. For myself and I am sure for other people, high school has played a big part into furthering our future, whether it is college or getting right into the workforce.

As much as it seems like you are struggling now, I promise you it will be worth it. Ignore the people who try to bring you down. Study harder for that next test. If you ever need someone to talk to, find someone who will listen. There are more people like me out there. You got this. I promise.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
