Everyone has memories from high school. Somehow you never seem to forget those four pivotal years of your life. From freshman hazing to graduation, it's a completely magical time. But there's a lot more to high school than we realize during our time there. It's said that college is where you discover who you are. Before you have to be an adult and pays bills and manage your own time, make sure you enjoy being a fun-loving, free teenager.
Don't worry so much about who likes you and who doesn't. In a matter of years, you won't see them anymore. Instead of focusing on who doesn't like you, focus on who does like you. If you think you'll miss someone when you leave, cherish the time you have with them. If you can't wait until you don't have to see someone anymore, don't give them the time of day now.
Be involved with everything. Do all you can while you can. Now is the time to try everything. You don't have to be the star of everything. Try all you can. There is no shame in giving up something as long as you've given it a chance.
Spend time doing what you love. Try everything, but spend all the time you can doing what you love. If it makes you happy, then do it. There will come a time when you can't play for your basketball team anymore or you can't be in the drama club you've dedicated the last four years of your life to. So if you love it, spend as much time as you can doing it.
High school can be stressful and super intense. There will be days when you beg god and Jesus and Muhammad to release you from this prison. But it's also the only high school experience you get and you can't trade it in once it's over. So enjoy it. Don't waste a single second
