Senior year has been a mix of firsts and lasts and a combination of a slew of emotions. From college to friends, to trying to "adult," all high school seniors will relate to this list.

You know you're a high school senior when...

  1. You type in “c" in the search field and it fills in “commonapp.org”.
  2. You don’t understand when people ask what college you go to because most schools don’t even give out EARLY decisions until December.
  3. You never go into the cafeteria anymore.
  4. You actually have to start being on time for school so that you can get a good parking spot.
  5. The freshman literally look like babies to you.
  6. And you also feel like a completely different person that when your freshman self.
  7. When you are doing something in school that you aren’t supposed to do, you think, “Well, whatever, I’m a senior.”
  8. You give credit to the past old captains of sports teams and presidents of clubs because you realize how much work it actually is.
  9. You start to realize how many things your parents pay for that will become your responsibility.
  10. Sometimes you are SO ready to get out of your high school.
  11. But other times you just want to hide under your covers in your childhood bed and never come out so you never have to be an adult.
  12. You contemplate committing a crime before you turn 18.
  13. You don’t have time to have senioritis when colleges have 3 supplements each.
  14. You think about all of your lasts, and it’s bittersweet.
  15. You realize that the underclassman are scared of you and you are sadistically happy about that.
  16. You know better than to ask the juniors how junior year is going.
  17. Senior privileges mean you get to hang out with your pets at your house during your lunch.
  18. You realize that you will have to leave your pets next year and you force them to spend more time with you.
  19. Middle school is finally far enough in the past that you can laugh at old photos and not die of embarrassment.
  20. If your extended family asks you about college one more time you will actually go into hibernation.
  21. All you do is eat because having your license means McDonalds and Panera whenever you want.
  22. It also means you spend way more money than you used to.
  23. You drive everyone home from school, sports, and clubs.
  24. You have a countdown until graduation.
  25. You try not to be absent so that you can save up for senior skip days.
  26. You actually don’t understand how middle school backpacks are so big.
  27. You already started looking at prom dresses because this is your year.
  28. You can’t believe this is your last year, and you want to make the most of it.

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.
