Senior year is unlike any other. Here are a few things you should know.. It won't hit you when you wake up for
your last first day of school. It won't hit you as you walk into the Senior locker bay for the first time as an official senior.
It won't hit you when you cheer at your last homecoming pep rally and attend your last football game. It won't hit you as
you go to your last homecoming dance and realize Prom is way better without the lower classmen and the DJ. It won't hit you
as you enter the floor to perform at state for the last time. It won't hit you as you fill out the countless college applications.
It won't hit you as you write that generic essay letter that you try to use for all your applications. It won't hit you as
your college friends return for Christmas break and give you all their advice. It won't hit you as you celebrate New Year's
with the friends you have known since childhood. It won't hit you when you cheer at your last Senior night and cry your eyes
out! You won't feel it when you are having the time of your life at your last spring break. You don't realize it during Senior
skip day, when everyone, no matter what group you are in, has a picnic. When May finally comes around and you realize that
it is your last Prom, but you don't really feel it when you are there having the time of your life. You begin to realize it
at Graduation when you look around and realize that you will never see half of these people again. You will begin to see it
more over the summer when everyone is getting their roommates, class schedules, and going to orientation. It still hasn't
fully hit you when you are sitting in your room packing up the past 18 years of your life, laughing with your best friend
about all the stupid stuff you've done. You might feel it the morning you leave for college as that it is the last time you
will see your room, your parents, and your best friend for like 3 months. It will finally hit you when you are sitting in
your dorm room with a perfect stranger, that you have to live with for the next year. Please, Please, PLEASE make every moment
of your Senior year count, you only get to do it once. College will be a lot of fun, but in the meantime, jump at every opportunity
you get to do anything that you have ever wanted to do. Spend as much time with friends as possible, for it will not be long
until you meet new people and inevitably grow apart.
