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.

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.

Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
