Yesterday marked 3 months since I graduated high school. On Monday, August 24th I started my first day of college. Crazy, right? I'm still processing everything that's been going on for the past 2 weeks. I'm super excited to share my freshman college adventures with you guys, in the next couple of weeks. But for now, I would like to help my fellow high school seniors to make their last year high school the best one yet. I guess you could say it's a senior year bucket list, but no matter what happens, make it count.
1) STILL stay true to yourself.
I know I know, I've said this a gazillion times, but I have to say this advice has probably made a huge impact me during my senior year. Thank you, Lauren Elizabeth.
2) Take lots of pictures, more than ever.
Do it. It's fun and try to not the delete the "ugly" ones. Those are the best ones.
3) It's okay to lose friends.
People say (possibly joking), the day of your graduation is the expiration date for friendships.
4) Try new things.
Most of you guys turn 18, so you have more opportunities to actually live life. Make sure it's legal and safe.
5) Plan for next year.
College. Career. Scholarships. Apply. Early is the best. Good luck
6) Write a letter to yourself and read it after you graduate.
It was a really fun activity to complete. You won't regret it. You would be surprise how much you have evolved over the past 2 semesters
7) Go to your high school graduation.
Now this you will regret, if you don't attend.
8) Buy or create a yearbook.
I feel like senior year should be the only year you should buy your yearbook, since it's crazy expensive like the college textbooks, but you do you, my friend. Since it's expensive, you can always create your own yearbook. Grab some paper of any kind, maybe print out some pictures of your own, think of a cute cover to draw or paint, let people sign and voila, there you go. :)
9) Value every moment.
Keep in mind, senior year will go by fast. Try to make everyday the best day. Focus on the positivity.
That's all the advice I can think of without repeating any advice from my previous high school advice posts. Enjoy :)
Quote of the day:
"East High is a place where teachers encouraged us to break the status quo and define ourselves as we choose. Where a jock can cook up a mean crème brulee, and a brainiac can break it down on the dance floor. It's a place where one person, if it's the right person, changes us all. East High is having friends we'll keep for the rest of our lives, and that means we really are 'all in this together'. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!" - Troy Bolton, High School Musical 3
