9 Things To Do Before You Leave High School
Amya Gulati

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/mementosĀ 

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 graduationĀ 

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
