Seniors, Enjoy The Little Things

Cherish every last moment you have because you never know a good thing 'til it's gone.

Dear Seniors,

Congratulations on being super close to graduation! As scary as it seems, it is by far one of the most exciting moments in your entire academic career. You are SO CLOSE to being done with high school for good and are SO CLOSE to moving into your college dorm. You probably have already started picking out decorations to put in your room and may have already found a roommate.

You're probably counting down the days until you can finally kiss your hometown goodbye and start a new chapter in your life. With all the excitement surrounding the end of one chapter and the start of a new one, I'm giving you one piece of advice: cherish every moment you have while you can.

Kris Allen's lyrics in Live Like We're Dying say this, "you never know a good thing 'til it's gone." This lyric applies to my advice because it's the little things that you don't even think of that you will miss. This is why I advise you to appreciate every little moment you still have left in school. Enjoy having classes with your friends because come next semester, they won't be in the same class as you. Instead of getting mad at your friends for petty reasons, grow up and appreciate all that they have to offer.

Hang out with them and laugh like there's no tomorrow. Pretty soon, you all will be in different states- maybe even timezones- and all you will have is FaceTime and school breaks.

Cherish every moment you have with your family. Hang out with your family members and make sure they know how much you love them. You will go from seeing them all the time to only seeing them on weekends you come home or over breaks. Say all you want about you not going to miss home in college, but I can guarantee you that you will miss them more than you can imagine.

You're going to regret not hanging out with them as much as you could when you were home which is why I say take advantage of all the opportunities you have to hang out with family.

Look around you and appreciate everything. Remember to take time and appreciate your "lasts". Your last performance onstage, your last sports game, your last History class, your last time walking through the doors of your school, capture every second of it. Remember how it made you feel and how bittersweet it is to end one thing and start another.

So while a new chapter in your life is exhilarating, take time to appreciate what this chapter has in store for you. Like Kris Allen said, "you never know a good thing 'til it's gone."

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
