Many students, both in college and high school, are entering their last semester at the school they have known for the last three and half years. The lockers and hallways, the lecture halls and libraries, and all the people. All of your teachers and professors will soon become like storybook characters. It all will seem ever so bittersweet. It will all rush by too quickly and end before you know it. Here are some things to keep in mind to all the seniors out there, especially high schoolers.

1. Do not rush it. I know you "cannot wait to get out of this town and away from all the people." And you will be so utterly "over" anything and everything. Yes, you will have those extreme cases of senioritis, but enjoy every minute of it. Don't be too cool for anything. One day, you will miss some of it.

2. Do not take the small things for granted. The things such as living at home with your family or simply driving around with your friends. Especially enjoy the home cooked meals your parents prepare for you. You will miss those oh so very much in college.

3. Do not let "being tired" be an excuse. You are young; go live life and take on adventures. You are going to eventually miss the empty days you now have--so use them. Fill them with activities and stories. After sporting events, go to Steak 'n' Shake and stay there for hours with your besties. Don't rush home; find dumb things to do and laugh.

4. Be in the moment. Taking pictures is great, but be sure to make memories to go along with your continual photographs. If documenting your fun with photos is important to you that's wonderful; take a photo and put away your phone. Enjoy the company and places you experience. Your phone and media sites will still be there an hour later.

5. Do not fright. I understand the unknown can be terrifying. Deciding what university is the best for you and then second guessing yourself a time or two. Though it seems like the end of the world, you will make the choice that is best for you and it will be great. And if it doesn't work out, the next school will.

And for all the college seniors... God bless you. Good luck with all of your upcoming endeavors and I wish you the best. Enjoy your last semester living in the campus bubble and being reckless as you please. Even though it seems as soon as you graduate you must jump into adulthood, you don't. Well, you should probably attempt to find a job, but you can still enjoy your youthfulness.

Here's to you, seniors. In the words of Billy Ray Cyrus, "Get ready, get set, don't let go."
