Think about where you were a year ago. For me I was a high school senior. I did not live an hour and a half away from home. I was not engaged. I did not have my precious puppy. Just like every high school senior, I was ready to graduate and go to college. But here I am, wanting to tell high school seniors to slow down. These are the days that are easy to live. It is easy to go to school with all of your friends and then go home at the end of the day. But at the same time, living this repetitive lifestyle makes us oblivious to the little things that happen everyday. Like getting to see your family every night. When you go to college that changes. You will go days without speaking to your family simply because you are so busy. Not only that but you will not see your high school friends anymore. In high school I was so ready to graduate because that meant I was officially an adult. Well let me be the bearer of bad news. Being an adult is hard work. Your high school teachers are here to walk you through your classes everyday. In college you see your professor twice or three times a week and have to retain as much as you can in those short class periods. I am not going to continue with the hardships of college because you have probably heard it before. I just want to tell you not to rush. Take your time and enjoy your senior year. Go to your senior prom, picnic, pep rallies. Do all of those things with your school and your family. Enjoy the little moments. Before you know it you will have just finished your first semester of college. Think about how much your life has changed in the matter of 365 days.
