Enjoy High School While You Can

Once it's over, that's all you get.

Enjoy High School While You Can

High school is supposed to be the best four years of your life.

Sadly, this isn’t true for the majority of teenagers.

Over the course of four years you win some and you lose some. You find out that most of the time, you’re only friends with people because you see them every day.

Not everything is going to work out in your favor. There will be good days and bad days. Things are going to come to an end.

Your last Friday Night Lights, your last basketball game, your last dance competition.

I have watched senior boys walk down the field for the last time. I have witnessed basketball teams play their heart out on that court for the last time. I have watched dance teams cry as the buzzer rang because they knew they would never dance another high school game again.

Just remember never to take any of it for granted. Your time is going to fly by and although you may not realize it now, you’re going to miss it.

Take the time to get to know everyone that you can, because there are personalities hidden behind every face that you'd never guess, and sometimes those people turn out to be some of your best friends.

Before you know it you're going to be putting on your cap and gown and you're going to link arms with your best friend, your name will be called and you will walk the halls of your high school for the very last time.

No matter what you do, always remember to take a moment, during the Friday Night Lights, the basketball games, the dance competitions, and everything else, take a moment and take everything in. Remember everything that you can, because once it's over, that's all you get.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
