Dear Senior Year Me,
Don't worry about getting accepted to colleges. All of your teachers will keep saying how you can't slack off, and how senioritis can't get to you, but remember how great you did all 4 years. Getting in will be the easiest part for you, the rough part comes with choosing.
You're going to go out a lot and do crazy things. Take hundreds of pictures and save hundreds of videos. Whether or not you're with 2 people or 200, record these memories. You're a senior and you're going to want to remember it all. Go act childish and laugh until you forget what's funny- just be careful and be smart.
You won't realize how much you love football games until you're not at them every Friday. Your college won't have as much school spirit as high school. Embrace it all while you can, because you won't be in the bleachers forever.
Completely out of the blue, you'll sign up to go on a religious retreat with girls from your school. Without a doubt, it's going to be one of the best experiences of senior year. Plus, you'll be there with your best friend, so it's an incredible experience altogether.
After 2 failed attempts, you'll get your driver's license (finally).
It'll be the year of theatre for you. You're going to be on stage more than ever before, completing 4 shows in a school year. (You'll get the lead in the last one... just letting you know.) There will be so many tears when it's all over, so don't wish any of it away. Take in every moment because you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
It doesn't work out with the football player- kind of a long story. You'll be upset for a while, but I promise that it was meant to happen and it's better this way.
It's been a long time coming, but you'll rekindle old friendships and it'll feel amazing. You'll get very close with people you'd never expect. You'll also lose some friends when you see their true colors, but please don't let that drama stop you from saying what you want to say. You've never let it stop you before.
Go to that surprise party in December- You'll meet a guy there and you'll date him for a while- 9 months and counting to be exact.
My perspective's changed since being a freshman all over again. Senior year is a lot to handle, I know. Take in all the drama, the tears, the laughs, and make some memories because you'll miss it all sometimes. You'll miss it when you least expect it.
