6 Things to do While You're in High School
Becky Sturgill

High school is usually considered either the best four years of your life or your worst. I personally think that high school is made to sound more scary than it actually is. I have a list of the top ten things I think everyone should do before they leave high school.

1. Be a part of the chant team or cheering section at sporting events

I realize that not everyone is a fan of sports or a fan of being around crowds but, I highly recommend it. I've had so much fun being a part of my schools chant team and honestly nothing compares to it. Don't waste your high school experience by not getting involved.

2. Go to a party

I'm fully aware the the party scene is not for everyone, I get it. The reason this made the list is that I personally feel that everyone needs to have at least one memorable night to look back on. It doesn't even have to be a trashy teenage rager it can just be you and a few friends. Just have fun.

3. Take lots of pictures

When you're an adult with a family it's always nice to look back on all the great memories you had. Take pictures anytime you're feeling happy or having a good time. Those are the memories that will mean the most in the long run

4. Express your feelings

Whether it be your feelings toward your crush or a personal opinion towards something you feel strongly about, expressing how you feel is important. You always end up regretting all the chances you didn't take.

5. BE CONFIDENT

No one wants to be remembered as the person who was socially awkward and didn't talk to anyone. Confidence is sexy, and intriguing. Give everyone something to remember.

6. Leave an impression

Find a way to make your high school remember you for years to come. Write your name on desks, be apart of multiple clubs, get good grades, participate in sports, or just be a charismatic, fun, and exciting person to help your school remember you. You're only in high school once, make it count.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
