One week until senior year of college begins. 9 more months to do all those things you've been meaning to do since freshman year. Two more semesters to make the most of. Let's do this.

1. Have a quote wall of all the dumb, funny, absurd things you and your roomies say.

I did this freshman year with my roommate and STILL get a kick out of reading it. The memories always come flooding back.

2. Keep a board of corks from all your girls' nights.

3. Road trip.

Get off campus and get lost.

4. Go to a concert or music festival.

These are always the easiest memories for me to look back on and pinpoint how I was feeling at a certain point. We LOVE a good concert. Bonus points if it's country because country concerts undeniably have the best crowds.

5. Take one second videos each day.

I have always wanted to try this and obviously remembering every moment of senior year is worth it.

6. Get to every single football/basketball game.

Make it past the tailgate! You got this!

7. Take advantage of your student discount.

The expiration date is uh ... quickly ... approaching.

8. Make new friends.

Grab a drink with that interesting person you've never gotten a chance to know.

9. Join a random club you're interested in (but may have been embarrassed to join early on!).

Meet people who have similar interests to you.

10. Keep a journal and add just a sentence each day.

You'll be able to look back on each day with a clearer view and highlight all the best moments.

11. Take polaroids.

Those pics are the cutest.

12. Put together a momento of your favorite college memories.

Scrap booking is actually a grueling process, but it's worth it, right?

13. Go on a bar crawl.

No need to explain.

14. Go on a frat house crawl.

Ha ha ha.

15. Revisit the freshman dining hall.

Maybe there's not good food, but let me remind you you once loved to hate that place.

16. Don't be too sappy and make the most of every moment!

You'll be done before you know it! Seriously. Stop crying.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
