11 Reasons To Get Excited For Senior Year

It's that time of year again. June and July have come and gone way too quickly, which means August has descended upon us-bringing with it the commercials for school supplies and the school forms in my email inbox. For me,it means back-to-school for the last time in my general education career. It's easy to for me and for most other incoming seniors to have a big case of senioritis from the moment school starts. This illness seems to plague seniors every year, and although I feel affects of some of it coming on I am determined to be excited for the my last year of high school because after all there are a lot of benefits to being a senior in high school.

1. You Finally Get the Nicest Lockers

Finally....

2. Teachers Finally Treat You Like Adults

It's nice to finally be respected

3. Senior Privilege

Seriously we can pretty much do whatever we want now

4. You Know The School Like the Back of Your Hand

You all the shortcuts

5. You Get Out of Standardized Testing

Honestly this might be the best reason

6. The Underclassman Look Up To You


You run the school now

7. Senior Skip Day

The classrooms will be empty but your spirits will be full

8.You Get To Hold Leadership Positions

President of chess club is finally yours!

9. Senior Pranks

The pressure is on! You have to beat the class of 2016

10. Class Bonding

Squad up it's your last year together

11. You Only Have One More Year Until You're Out of There

If you can't find anything else to be excited about- you only have one year left!

High school definitely has it's highs and lows and I am excited to move on to the next stage of life but before I head off to college I am pumped to enjoy my final year of high school.

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.

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.
