1. You're going to have to decide what you want to do in life - and somewhat soon

-Whether that be working or going to college, it's going to be a tough decision and you're going to feel like you have no idea what to do, (trust me, I still don't know what I'm doing)

2. You no longer get summers - or if you do, it isn't a very long one

-You are an "adult" now (or at least you're not a teenager but not yet an adult) and summer vacations and trips every other week are no longer an option

3. You probably won't talk to your high school classmates anymore

-Everyone goes their own directions and when seeing them every day is no longer a requirement, you probably wont see them as often or if ever except through likes and follows on Instagram

4. When you see a high school classmate at Walmart, you'll want to run the other direction

-Everything feels awkward and fake when you see that one girl from high school that you never really liked but you act like it to be cordial in the Walmart parking lot

5. You can finally add your all your teachers and classmates on Facebook

-(so you can stalk them and see what they're up to)

6. You're really good friendships from high school are going to be a lot more difficult to maintain after high school

-Meaning you probably will go weeks without talking or hanging out because life is busy and you're both doing your own thing, but if they are really a good friend it won't be an issue because when you do hang out it's like nothing changed

7. You'll probably gain weight

-"Freshman fifteen" is real, even if you aren't going to college. No longer being in sports really affects you, no more practices every day and games every week. You really have to take your own initiative to get in shape

8. Your parents are going to expect more from you

-Whether that be paying rent or more chores, they will want more from you, trust me

9.You'll spend your money differently

-When you're still in school and your parents pay for the majority of things you don't really care if you buy a bag of chips for $7, but when it's your own money and you don't have as much of it, you're going to think twice and try to find the best deal on those bag of Doritos.
