10 Things I Want To Tell My Younger Friends Still In High School

Personal photo

Leaving behind younger friends in high school is heartbreaking. I think of you all everyday and am living for your instagram posts. For my little friends finishing up high school, here's a few things I want you to remember as you get through the year.

1. Your worth comes from God and nobody else

My sweet little friend you are perfectly imperfect. He has already decided your worth. Never let a boy, a friend, or a grade define who you are. You are worth diamonds and pearls and if God says it, then trust Him!

2. High school is not the best time of your life

Please don't feel like these years are meant to be the peak of your existence. High School is alight, College is great too! You will have amazing moments throughout your whole life. I never loved high school, but so far college has been amazing! You will find you group and your passions when the time is right!

3. I miss you

media.giphy.com

Not a single day passes where I don't think of you. I see your posts and seeing you happy makes me happy too. I miss giving you advice, helping you with homework, and just being there for you. It may not seem like it, but you taught me so much. You taught how impactful my words can be. You taught me that by helping someone, you can change their entire attitude. You taught me that I could be a big sister to someone even if we aren't related my blood.

4. I am here for you

media.giphy.com

I am always always here. I know that my college seems so far from your high school but I promise to always make time for you. My dorm doors are always open and I promise I never leave my room without my cell phone. No matter where you are or how old we get I will always be here through the good and the bad.

5. You are beautiful

I wish I could tell you this everyday when you question what you are wearing or if your makeup looks ok. You are so beautiful. You are beautiful in the way you treat others. You are beautiful in the way you laugh at your mistakes. You are beautiful in the way that you accept others for who they are. You are beautiful.

6. You are strong

media.giphy.com

I have seen you grow so much in such a short time. I have seen you overcome obstacles and do things you never imagined you would do. I have seen you cry and I have seen you conquer. I have seen you fail and I have seen you learn. Most importantly, I have seen you become strong and independent. You go girl!

7. You can overcome anything

media.giphy.com

You really can. I know at times this seems so hard and the world crumbles in around you. At the end of the day, I believe in you. I always believe in you. I have seen you do amazing things and I know that you are unstoppable.

8. Your hard-work will pay off

media.giphy.com

Keep on working hard. It will pay off in the end. On day you will be so thankful you were as dedicated, ambitious, and determined as you are. I'm so proud of you.

9. Girls are mean but you are not

media.giphy.com

Girls will break your heart harder and quicker than any boy ever could. Your best friends will become strangers and at times you will feel so alone. You might want to get even, to make sure that ex-friend knows how wrong they are, but you shouldn't. You are kind, you are patient, and you are forgiving. In life you will have to forgive people who aren't sorry and accept apologies that you will never receive. You are kind enough and smart enough to do this.

10. I love you

media.giphy.com

I do. I love you so much! You're like a little sister to me and I would do anything for you. I will beat up any boy who breaks your heart and be there when you have the worst of days. You mean so much to me and if it weren't for you, I never would have known just how important younger friends are. Keep on being you! There truly is nobody better!

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.

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.
