16 Things To Tell My Sister As She Graduates High School

Daelyn Josefak

To My Sister,

Congratulations! You've done it — you have officially graduated high school! I can't believe how fast time went. You're now off to college, ready to start the rest of your life after high school. It's crazy to think about, but I am so excited to see where life takes you in the future. That being said, there are just a few things I want to make sure you're aware of as you start this next chapter of your life:

1. You are the most beautiful person, both inside and out.

Don't let anyone ever make you believe otherwise. Never forget how unique you are.

2. Your beauty is unparalleled.

Seriously.

3. It has truly been an honor to watch you grow into the most amazing young woman.

Although it happened so fast, you are the type of person who makes everyone proud to know you.

4. You are the type of friend everyone should be.

You are caring, selfless and thoughtful, proving time and time again that you are the best friend anyone could ever hope for. Make sure your friends appreciate you because they could never find anyone better.

5. You radiate warmth and happiness.

You make everyone around you instantly smile.

6. All your hard work has paid off.

All those hours of studying, stupid group projects and annoying teachers are done with (at least for a few months) — now you have a diploma!

7. I couldn't be any more grateful to have you as a sister.

I couldn't have been blessed with a more wonderful person to be my sister.

8. You are the coolest sister and the greatest best friend.

I am lucky enough to not only have you as a sister but as my best friend as well. Not everyone can say that about their siblings, so I feel even more fortunate to have you.

9. Thank you for everything you do for me.

Thank you for always scooping ice cream for me and giving me the best advice when I need someone to talk to.

10. I can't wait to see what incredible things you are going to accomplish in the future.

I already know you are going to do big things.

11. I am so proud of you.

I am proud of the person you are.

12. I know it seems scary now, but college will be better than you expect.

Change always seems awful at first, but soon enough you'll adapt to college life and find that you actually enjoy it.

13. The people who are meant to stay in your life aren't going anywhere.

I know it's really tough to say goodbye to your friends at the end of the summer as they go away to school, but you'll be reunited before you know it. If your friends are meant to be your friends forever, a few months away won't change anything at all.

14. I can't wait to be by your side as you begin your college career.

It's an exciting time and I can't wait to see what is coming next for you.

15. I'm always here if you need anything at all.

I hope you already know this, but I mean it.

16. I love you.

I love you so much and I am truly so proud of you.

Congratulations again!

All my love,

Your Sister

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Don't freak out

Attend the first class

Keep attending class

Remember that everything works out at the end
