Hello, seniors of 2018! Graduation is weeks away and I know you’re just dying to be done already. You’re about to be out of class A LOT (doing senior exclusive things, of course!), but nothing is over just yet.

Look, I know things are crazy and about to get even crazier, but try and enjoy yourself as much as you can. The end of senior year has many battles, as well as, many victories. It’s a stressful time that can sometimes take away the joy that graduating brings. Don’t let the little stressors take away your big reward! You earned this yourself and should take it all in.

With all of the stress you need to allow yourself some time to unwind and slow down. Senior year goes fast enough without you having to rush it. Enjoy yourself and the people around you, because you won’t get these days back. If you’re too busy wanting everything to go faster, you’ll miss out on all that’s going on right now.

I know, I know, you’re tired of school and ready for it to be over. You still have grades due and they need to be good ones. You may not think senior year grades count, but trust me they do. Don’t just give up on your assignments and think you’re going to be fine. Most colleges require your freshman through junior transcript and your final transcript, which means your senior year does indeed count.

You’re about to graduate school just to, maybe, go on and do more school! Yay! College is right around the corner and you need to be spending as much time as you can with your friend and family, especially. They’re going to miss you and whether you want to admit it or not, you’re going to miss them, too.

It’s time to give yourself some love, you’re about to finish +12 years of school. All those times you thought you wouldn’t make it this far or would never graduate, you’re finally here! Be proud of yourself, you deserve it.
