To The Rising High School Seniors, Before Your Last Year
Elizabeth Lincoln

Congratulations you've made it to your senior year of high school! You have an exciting year ahead of you, you will always remember this time in your life with the ones you love most! Make the most of this year and enjoy every second of it.

1. Senior year is fun, but don't let that distract you from working hard.

There are so many exciting events to look forward to this year. Football games, senior pictures, senior sport nights, spirit days, prom and graduation. But don’t let that distract you from trying your best and working hard like you have the last 3 years of high school. You have to finish out strong!

2. Senioritis is REAL.

I never thought it would actually kick in, but it did. You will not want to do any homework or work, but you need to. You will look back and regret it if you don’t finish your 4 years out with a bang!

3. Be in the moment.

Senior year is a great year for you and your friends to have fun and enjoy your last year together. Enjoy every moment of the time you spend with your friends because soon you'll be wishing for them back.

4. I know you're excited about graduation, but you will be sad when it comes.

I know most seniors are counting down the days till graduation and it is an exciting thing but no matter how excited you are for that day to come, you will be sad to leave your teachers and friends that day.

5. Enjoy every moment with your friends, because a year from now everything will be different.

Senior year is great to spend time with your friends. Be open to making new friends and doing things you normally wouldn’t do. You will meet some of the greatest friends in your senior year. Make tons of memories that you will always remember. Going to college and leaving your friends will be sad, but you will always have those memories you made along the way.

6. No matter how many times you say you won't miss high school, you will.

You will miss those teachers you had that were always there for you, you will miss walking down the hallway seeing familiar faces and you will miss your friends. Don’t wish it all away.

7. Enjoy senior events.

There are many events for seniors to enjoy, go and make memories. Prom, for example is an amazing night to spend with your friends and is a great time. Senior year is an exciting year so try not to miss out on these events because you will remember them for the rest of your life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
