22 things to know before and during your senior year

Senior year is the most sentimental and emotional year and there is no way to prepare for that but here are a couple things I wish I would have known before...

1. College applications aren't the worse thing in the world.

2. Senior year isn't an easy year, if you think you are going to slack off and have it easy get that thought out of your mind. Senior year matters to colleges just as much as any other year.

3.You don't realize how real it is to be a senior until you are at your last homecoming dance realizing you'll never have that moment ever again.

4. Senioritis is real.

5. Don't let others affect where you want to go never year and don't let anyone tell you you can't accomplish what you put your mind to.

6.Senior year really does fly by.

7. The little things won't matter in 5 years.

8.Don't pick a college based on where your bestfriends want to go, your friendships will stand distance.

9. Mental health days are okay.

10. It's the year to be yourself.

11. Its never too early to apply, over apply.

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.

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.

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.
