It's 2016! We're all excited to metaphorically turn a new page and get ourselves together.
But that also means that break has come to a tragic end and we must return to our responsibilities. School is back in session and I don't know of anyone who is cheering and jumping for joy.
Luckily the heartthrob that is Zac Efron is here to give you some words of advice in order to tackle this semester with everything you've got!
Go for 4.0!
This is the semester you go for the gold! Don't let any of that "C's get degrees" B.S. cloud your mind. Zac likes the smart ones.
Step out of your comfort zone.
Looking for some new friends or a new hobby? Join a club, say hi to a stranger, go to that frat mixer! I heard the DJ is super cute and maybe you could ask him to teach you a thing or two.
Go to the gym.
Even if it's the last place on earth that you want to be, it'll improve your mental and physical health so you're ready for those final exams...and to run into the arms of Zac after he sees how well you do those crunches.
Don't stress yourself out.
Yes, you may have a 10 page paper due in 4 of your classes, but stressing will only make it worse! Take breaks, deep breathes, have a healthy snack and drink plenty of water. And take full advantage of when puppies come to campus. Plus, Zac is a total dog person.
Make time for friends.
Because let's face it, otherwise you'll go insane. Plus, you'll be separated soon for a whole summer! Worse if you're a senior! Make new friends and hangout with your BFF's, otherwise you'll regret it. Zac doesn't mind good conversation, say hey!
Don't be afraid.
Don't let judgement from others or the fear of the unknown hold you back from living your life. Whether it's your parents scolding you on your major choice or your peers laughing because you're a professional basket weaver, it's all about confidence. Zac loves confidence.
Find love.
Don't settle for "Netflix and Chill" nights, because you honestly deserve better. Frankly, you deserve a Troy who will make you feel like you're as lucky as Gabriella Montez.
Seniors: This. Is. It.
Kill it this semester. Be kind to yourself and know you've come so far. Ace that exam, go to that party, take tons of pictures, fill out those applications, live every moment, and finish strong so you can rock that stage when you graduate with honors.
Zac and I wish you good luck on your upcoming semester and we both know you can do this!
