Ah it’s finally April. But April doesn't just mean that were getting some nice weather. For high school seniors, it means they’re starting to come to their last days of what they’ve known for 12 years. Graduation may seem far away but honestly, it’s here before you know it. It get’s you thinking, “What have I done?” or “Have I made my mark?” Well seniors, having graduated almost a year ago now, I’ve compiled a list of things I did, or think you should do before that final bell.
1. Put Old Feuds To Rest
We all have petty feud’s or grudges whether we admit it or not. But the reality is, a year from now, your life will be completely transformed. There’s not point holding onto the past. When you're able to laugh about it later its much better than being mad at them for the pettiest reasons
2. Senior Ditch Day
Maybe it isn’t the best idea to encourage you to skip class but I’m doing it. In the spring when you’re committed to college, or know whats coming next, it’s good to reward yourself with a day of fun with your friends, because the reality is there’s most likely never going to be another day like that.
3. Go To Prom
You are not too cool for prom I don’t care what you think. So many of the greatest high school memories come from prom. Years from now you can look back on all your award pictures and laugh at all the preparation that goes into one night, but also smile at the great memories it makes.
4. Senior Prank
The entire senior class should always do a prank. My senior class decided to make the senior hallway a beach. Seeing everyone's faces was priceless. Our administration threatened to take things way which honestly made it even funnier.
5. Tell Your Crush You Like Them
Honestly, you’re going to regret it if you never do. Again, you’re very likely to see them very little, if you ever do again. Stop worrying about the person laughing at you or not feeling the same way because you are moving onto so many bigger and better things.
6. Senior Spirit Week
In my high school we had a week at the end of the year where the seniors had a different theme each day, but we were the only ones to dress up, and again it was hilarious, and i have many interesting pictures from this week. It made seniority's temporarily subside when you see everyone looking ridiculous and the confused faces of under classmen.
7. Thank your favorite teachers
It may seem stupid, but they don’t hear it enough, and you're going from seeing them every day, to maybe on breaks. I made sure I did this because without my favorite teacher, high school would’ve been a much different place. I wasn’t a fan of high school, but they made it bearable.
Lastly, just enjoy every single moment. You’re almost there so stop racing to the finish line, and just enjoy the ride.
