We Really Are Graduating Soon

We really are graduating soon and that's so insane to think about. Things have changed so much since freshmen year, everything has, everyone has. And we're all almost adults now! We actually made it!

I actually (and this may sound pathetic) have this group really really good friends! As someone like me who tends to be an introvert, having my small circle of people I'm comfortable around and can be myself with is everything I ever could've dreamed of. Now I actually have that group, I have these friends who I spend time with and who I joke around with and get annoyed at and it's amazing!

Since graduation is fast approaching, I've come to the realization that I'm going to be separated from the majority of my good friends and it makes me a bit sad. I don't know how things will change once we all go our separate ways for college, but I hope that we all stay in touch and continue to be friends. It's all a scary mystery at this point, but it helps to not spend all your time worrying and to just live in the moment.

At the time that I'm writing this, my senior prom, my last prom ever, is tomorrow and I'm extremely excited and nervous and anxious, but mostly excited :D

So for now I'll push away the sad thoughts telling me that this will all be over soon and embrace the laughs, the fun and the good times while I still can. That's all we can do.

College is going to be this whole new world that I honestly don't feel too ready for, but it's coming and I pray that I get to keep all my amazing friends and we can support each other through this next stage of our lives.

So don't despair when you worry about the future, don't waste the time you have left in high school worrying and just enjoy what you have now. Time will go on no matter what you do so being worried and afraid is pointless.

Enjoy the rest of high school my fellow seniors, only a little over a month to go c:

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?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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!)
