5 Pieces Of Advice For High School Seniors

Looking back on high school, it's easy to think of all things I wish I had done. Even if high school isn't exactly your cup of tea, there's no harm in attempting to make the best of it all. High school is full of memorable moments, from prom to homecoming football games. However, that being said, college is great. There is still plenty you will miss as you head off on your new adventure. As a high school senior, here are a few things you should remember:

1. Try your hardest!

Senior year is stressful, but with the being said, it's important to still try your hardest! Grades still matter. Don't give up now, you've tried hard enough to get where you are, as hard as it can be: stick it out another couple months.

2. Spend time with your friends and family.

Spend as much time as you can with friends and family. They will be the people you miss the most when you leave for college. Cherish all the moments you have with them, use your Sunday's for movies with the family, and make memories with your friends. Spend time with the people who you love the most, make time for them. You will regret it if you don't.

3. Attend everything.

Go to prom, go to the football games, go to graduation parties. Those are once in a lifetime opportunities to make memories. Be in the moment and enjoy it all while you can.

4. Take pictures.

Going along with #3, take lots of pictures! Pictures are a good way to record and save these memories. When you miss your friends, or your family, or are just having a picture, there's nothing like looking back on old pictures and reminiscing.

5. Have fun!

It is so easy to get overwhelmed with all the college applications and upcoming decisions, but don't forget to have fun! Everything will work out in the end, it is so important to remain in the moment. Make the best of everything, don't wish time away. It goes faster than you think!

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.

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.
