To My Sister Who Happens To Be A Senior In High School
Alexa Levin

Dear my little sister who happens to be a senior in high school,

Homecoming is over, yet graduation is practically a lifetime away.

Oh how I wish I could be in your position again. I remember senior year like it was yesterday. Counting down the days until graduation and praying to get accepted into my dream school, it was most definitely the best year of my life.

Every month there was something to look forward to. Senior year is filled with old friends, new friends, homecoming that you work so hard for to win, senior banquet, spring break with your best friends, senior cut day, you name it it was fun.

The last day of school it starts to hit you. This is the last day you'll be in the same building with all of these people at once. You grew up with them, cried with them, laughed with them and supported them. Though, some you never quite conversed with; you still feel like you're connected with them. I mean, you have been in school with them for the past 13 years.

Senior year... it goes by quicker than the weekend. There is so much fun, so much love, so much excitement it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Prom can be the best couple of hours of your life or after prom is when it gets good. You're constantly laughing, constantly thankful to be a senior but constantly ready to leave this place to refer to as jail, or whatever else you came up with since I graduated.

To my sister, who wishes high school over every second of every day...please stop. I envy you and sometimes catch myself vicariously living through your snapchats or your Instagram posts because jeez do I wish I could be in your place.

Enjoy your friends being a two minute drive down the highway, enjoy the minimal workload, enjoy the teachers who remind you daily of how quick this year will fly by.

You make me so proud, I am so excited to see what this year brings for you, I wish I could be in senior year again, I love you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
