I Spoke To A Class of 2020 Senior From Brentwood High School, A Group Of Kids We've All Got To Feel For

1. Where did you/are you graduating from?

I am graduating from Brentwood High School here in Brentwood, New York. Where we bleed green. Go Indians!

2. What has it been like spending your last semester under quarantine amidst the coronavirus pandemic?

Spending my last semester in quarantine due to the corona pandemic wasn't hard due to the fact my life was like this before. The only problem is the assignments given to us which was work after work and I do better by being taught in person than by video.

3. Of all the things you missed out on because of quarantine, what has been the hardest to accept?

The hardest to accept was not being able to attend some school activities that were given to the seniors.

4. What has been a silver lining?

The thing that has been a silver lining was looking on the bright side of things instead of the negative. This happened for a reason and we've been punished by God due to humankind, misconduct; and after the punishment, good will come.

5. What have you done to make up for some of the graduation traditions you aren't able to do?

I have not done anything to make up for some of the graduation traditions that I'm not eligible to do.

6. What are your next steps, and have they been impacted by coronavirus?

My next steps are to accept it and move on.

7. What is the worst thing someone can say to a Class of 2020 graduate?

The worst thing to say to someone to a class of 2020 is you're "not graduating" or "sucks to be you."

8. What is one piece of advice you would love to give to the class of 2021?

One piece of advice I would give to the class of 2021 is to always look on the brightest side even when things get rough. There is always hope.

9. What about the last few months do you think you'll remember most?

The thing about the last few months that I think I'll remember the most is not being able to go to a restaurant and eat inside.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
