10. Senior Prom
I mean, who doesn't like getting all dolled up and paying a million bucks for that ONE dress you love? Senior prom was tons of fun because it was the last night we all came together as one and danced like no one was watching.
9. Senior Trip
Washington D.C. was not ready for us. Being all together, or separated into our fun little groups, we learned so much and had so much fun. Shopping, being on the D.C. news, or crying together in the Holocaust Museum, memories were made.
8. Every Homecoming
I enjoyed every one of the homecoming dances I went to. The DJ's were all pretty great, I loved every dress I had, and my dates were always tons of fun. Don't forget about the after parties. Yes, even the non-drinking ones are tons of fun!
7. Junior Year English Class
Kami Coursen is a sweet person to begin with, but having her as a teacher is amazing. I learned so much about my classmates, as well as myself. I found out who I was, what I wanted, and why I was me. Junior year English brought so much life to me.
6. Having 4 Study Halls My Senior Year
What was better than sitting in the cafeteria with Terrible Terrie, sitting in the library with Mrs. Heller or Mrs. Sheatz, or in the office with Mrs. Porter? Endless days of Netflix and Christmas music...I mean homework and studying.
5. Church Youth Group
Although I did not attend this church, Engage was a pretty fun youth group, if you ask me. It was the first and only youth I was involved in. It was great to get together with all of my friends and learn about our God and our faith.
4. Halloween
Were we in high school? Yeah. Did we dress up, anyways? HECK YEAH.
3. Sports
Sports were magical. They brought classmates and peers together its one team. Was it stressful? Well, what wasn't at this age?! Was it fun? Tons of fun. High school track and field, volleyball, soccer, golf, basketball, and cheerleading will never be a part of your life again, live it up, now.
2. Spontaneous Late Night Trips
Whether it was to Applebees, Walmart, the Movies, or Sheetz, we were finally old enough to drive to these places after 11, and without parents hating us for it. Friday night Applebees trips were the best because karaoke and half priced apps.
1. Graduation
Even though it was the beginning of the end, it was amazing. A night where we celebrate each other and the hard work and struggles we have encountered as a class. We celebrate each other's success, and even shed a tear or two because we know it only gets harder from there.
Soak it up. Love high school even though you absolutely despise the place and people. Make it good. Be happy. It's your choice.
