While high school definitely isn't everyone's best four years, there are a few things you need to do before your senior year becomes a part of the past.

Take a day trip with your friends

Senior year gives most of us a little leniency to go out with our friends more often, and it's important to take advantage of that.

Go to the school games

Even if your school sucks at sports, attend a game or two and give in to the school spirit.

Talk to your teachers

Teachers, the good and the bad ones, have a large part in shaping your high school experience. Teachers are more open to their seniors as the school year progresses, and you'll probably have the opportunity to get to communicate with them on a deeper level. It's always interesting to get to know your teacher as a person.

Talk to the people you never really interacted with before, too

Instead of sticking with your same old friend group for the rest of the year, branch out and talk to people you never had the change to interact with before. You never know who you might make a friend out of.

Go through your old high school yearbooks/mementos 

Going through my old yearbooks and pictures throughout the years always made me a little nostalgic. You get to see yourself grow and are able to look back at all the memories you made from the time you were a freshman to now.

Skip class

You've got to do this at least once before you graduate. The penalty shouldn't be too severe, either (that is, if you get caught).

Attend every senior event

Most high schools do their best to make senior year a memorable time for the students, so skipping a senior event that essentially takes you out of class is pointless.

Don't you dare skip prom

It's the last time you'll see everyone from your grade in the same room together and actually be able to talk to most of them (graduation is too hectic).

Go to school the day before graduation 

Your last full day of school is something you're going to want to be there for. It's the last time you will attend class, see familiar faces in the hall, eat gross cafeteria food, and race to the parking lot in order to beat traffic.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
