Dear my little sister who happens to be a senior in high school,
Homecoming is over, yet graduation is practically a lifetime away.
Oh how I wish I could be in your position again. I remember senior year like it was yesterday. Counting down the days until graduation and praying to get accepted into my dream school, it was most definitely the best year of my life.
Every month there was something to look forward to. Senior year is filled with old friends, new friends, homecoming that you work so hard for to win, senior banquet, spring break with your best friends, senior cut day, you name it it was fun.
The last day of school it starts to hit you. This is the last day you'll be in the same building with all of these people at once. You grew up with them, cried with them, laughed with them and supported them. Though, some you never quite conversed with; you still feel like you're connected with them. I mean, you have been in school with them for the past 13 years.
Senior year... it goes by quicker than the weekend. There is so much fun, so much love, so much excitement it's gone in the blink of an eye.
Prom can be the best couple of hours of your life or after prom is when it gets good. You're constantly laughing, constantly thankful to be a senior but constantly ready to leave this place to refer to as jail, or whatever else you came up with since I graduated.
To my sister, who wishes high school over every second of every day...please stop. I envy you and sometimes catch myself vicariously living through your snapchats or your Instagram posts because jeez do I wish I could be in your place.
Enjoy your friends being a two minute drive down the highway, enjoy the minimal workload, enjoy the teachers who remind you daily of how quick this year will fly by.
You make me so proud, I am so excited to see what this year brings for you, I wish I could be in senior year again, I love you.
