10 Things You Need To Do To Make The Most Of Senior Year

Looking back at high school people regret missing out on so many things. Senior year is one of the most important years in high school. After that your days of being a kid are essentially over. Whether you're going straight to college, work, or even traveling for a year you're never going to get these days back.

1.Get Your Senior Pictures Done

One of the saddest things I saw while looking through my yearbook was all of the blank pictures, maybe it didn't mean anything then but in 20 years when you look back at it you're to regret not putting something there. Even if you had a bad hair day that day, its still a memory!

2. Get to Know the People You're Graduating With

Some of the people in your class may actually be pretty cool. You may even have a thing or two in common with them.


3. Participate in Spirit Week

This one is huge. All of the pictures taken during Spirit Week will go into the yearbook, not to mention this week is just plain fun. I was in college my senior year of high school and still made sure to dress up.

4. Go All Out at the Pep Rally

The Pep Rally has the word "pep" in it for a reason. Its supposed to get everyone amped up for the big football game. Show some school spirit that day and have fun! Who cares what people think.


5. Go to Homecoming

Who wouldn't want to spend a Friday night out with their friends having fun and supporting their football team? Even if you don't like football its still good to go and get involved in stuff.

6. Participate in Senior Week

This week is designed for seniors to HAVE FUN!! So many fun activities ranging from Six Flags to a Hypnotist. This is what all of your class dues paid for, so go enjoy it.

7. Slack off a Little

That doesn't mean go fail all of your classes because you're a senior, but enjoy your senior skip day, go to the beach and hang out with your friends. Stop worrying about college and school work for one day and live a little.

8. Go to Prom

Prom only comes twice during your high school year and then its over. So go spend the ridiculous amount of money and go enjoy a night out with your friends. Don't forget to dance like no one is watching.

9. Spend Time With Your Close Friends

If you do plan on going to college, chances are you aren't going to see your friends for a while, unless you all plan on going to the same school. There's nothing sadder than when your whole friend group goes in separate directions, so make the most of the time you have left.

10. GRADUATE!!!

This is most likely going to happen..but make the most of your graduation and enjoy your special day!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
