Why I Am Excited For College Even Though I'm Still A High School Senior

Since starting my senior year last week, I feel so ready to graduate and move on to college. Passing through Target, Marshalls, other stores like that, I saw all the dorm room shopping and supplies which made my heart fill with excitement! Why exactly? great question. I think it is because college is a different experience where there are no “standards.” Whether it is the athletes, academic achievers, partiers, those who study abroad, their view of college would be different.

My high school experience is going well for the most part, I play varsity lacrosse, I sing in choir, I participate in different clubs and activities, but I love to write in the school newspaper. My sophomore year, I fell in love with journalism. My journalism class won an award for top newspaper of excellence, and I won honorable mention at the Ball State University J-Day competition. I love to write. I could write for hours and hours and never stop. This past summer, I applied to a university for broadcasting and journalism. I got accepted and I knew that since I got in, Journalism had to be a career for me.

Even though I haven’t graduated high school yet, college is so close to entering my life! I’m excited to start a new chapter in my life, and see what college has to offer!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
