2 million minutes. That’s roughly-give or take- the amount of minutes each person is allocated for their time in high school. Don’t let it slip away, especially seniors. I know everyone says it, but make the most of the time you have left and follow this advice for the best closure on this chapter of your life

1.) Fall in love. Treat your guy or girl well.

2.) Count. Set countdowns on your phone. Count the days until college acceptances, prom, graduation, and your imaginary wedding.

3.) Dress like you’re royalty at least one day of the remaining days you have left in that hellhole. Stop caring what people say, if they point or even stare.

4.) Hum in the halls until people wonder who you are. Grab that boy’s attention who has had yours since the night of freshmen orientation three years ago.

5.) Stare at yourself in the mirror. Stare long and hard enough until you can tell everyone where everything you hate about yourself is located exactly. Don’t actually tell people. Keep these insecurities to yourself as you force yourself to grow up in the future.

6.) Know when to fight and when to walk away.

7.) Talk. Say whatever’s on your mind, especially the things bothering you. Don’t eer let your thoughts go unsaid. Write them in a journal, talk to your pet, or into your pillow. Reach out to your best friend in a different area. Maybe even get up in front of your English class and say whatever the hell you want. Everyone will probably stare and talk but chances are at least one of them will know what you mean/

8.) Give up- on that boy, your friends, your physics test, even yourself. Come back and pick it all up and know that you are strong enough to carry it all.
