To The Seniors Who Didn't Get To Finish Their Year, I Know You're Hurting

To The Seniors Who Didn't Get To Finish Their Year, I Know You're Hurting
Cecilia Flick

Dear Seniors,

I know you are hurting. We don't get the ending we deserve, and from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry.

This is for all of my high school seniors.

I feel your pain.

The first two years of high school were the hardest for me. I was severely depressed, and I hated everyone.

Then, during my junior year something in me changed. I started cheering, and I saw my high school differently.

I began to hate that I took everything for granted in years past. This is difficult for me to even wrap my head around as I'm here in my bed, crying, writing this.

I'm sorry for all of you.

We will never get to walk into school with a coffee in our hands late for the first period or go to another Friday night football game.

Some of you will never play your last baseball game or whatever sport you play. Some of us will never get a high school sweetheart. We won't have our last prom or graduation.

We won't get that "High School Musical 3" ending that we all deserve.

I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now. I'm hurt, angry and just incredibly heartbroken.

I will never forget the hot air in the gym during cheer practices, how my favorite teacher would roast me while simultaneously giving me great advice and the one time that I actually ate lunch in the school cafeteria I got hit in the head with an orange and a rat scurried across the ground.

They say that high school is the best four years of your life. I don't believe that for a second, but I do believe that these four years have been a rollercoaster and that they have changed our lives.

I will never forget high school and all the memories (good and bad).

We didn't get the ending we had hoped for, but we'll stay positive because something greater is coming.

Goodbye, high school.

You will be missed.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
