Don't worry, be happy

A Letter To The Incoming College Freshman
Heidi Paxson

Senior year has somehow come to a finish and summer already seems to be flying by. A little voice in the back of your head knows that nothing will ever be the same after the fall quickly approaches. For some reason, these changes seem like a weird or bad thing. The truth is, change can be hard, making new friends can be hard, and leaving your family can be the hardest.

However, all of these changes are for the best. Whether you're going to college or starting a career, moving on to the next chapter of your life can be a very exciting thing. The next few years will help each and every recent graduate grow, mature and learn how to live life on their own.

Growing up, college always seems so far away. When you reach middle school and you hear the year you graduate for the first time, it seems like that graduation will never come. High school seems never ending but once it ends, it seems as if it flew by in a blink of an eye.

Spend as much time with your family before leaving the house, and keep your high school friends in touch no matter what you do.

Always look forward to what's coming, never let anyone stop you from accomplishing something you have your mind set on, and carry your morals with you wherever life takes you.

Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
