What I Wish I Knew As A Second-Semester Senior

When thinking back on my senior year of high school, a ton of memories come flooding back into my brain. There are some bad memories, but most are filled with my best friends and nothing but smiles. High school was so simple. It was so cared free compared to the college world. It is a time in your life like no other, so you should absorb it. Take it all in because if I was a senior all over again here are a few things I would have loved to know:

1. Life as you know it will never be as it is right now.

2. Be friendly to the "nerdy" kid, you will soon become that kid in college.

3. Say hi to everyone in the hall because these are most likely going to be the last few months you ever see them.

4. Get to know your teachers.

5. Make new and more friends.

6. GET OUT OF THE CLIQUE.

7. Spend time with your classmates because this is it.

8. Never be afraid to apply to that college that you have always wanted to attend.

9. Take English seriously.

10. In these last few months, don't be focused on after graduation rather than before.

11. Graduation will come and go so fast, do not wish it here.

12. The idiot you think you will never miss, you won't.

13. Take mental pictures

14. Don't let the mean girls get to you. They won't go away.

15. Don't be afraid to cry.

16. Like seriously, it is sad.

17. Do not be embarrassed if you are not sad, not everyone loves high school.

18. Don't let this be your peak.

19. Walk across the stage with ease, not too fast.

20. Breathe during your prayer at Graduation so your face isn't so read.

21. Don't be obnoxious, be a kid that adults like.

22. Love. Everyone. You. Meet.

23. Just because football ends, doesn't mean the fun ends with it.

24. Football season is the best part of senior year, but it doesn't have to be the only fun part.

25. This really does fly by so quick, so appreciate every moment.

26. Take it all in. Because you have no idea the fun that is coming your way, but you have no idea just what you're exactly leaving behind.

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.
