Step back. Take a minute. Breath. Enjoy this. Enjoy these last'; last first day, last first game, last homecoming, last game, last homecoming dance, last prom... Just breathe and enjoy your view.
Once you get to College things will change. You aren't the same person you were when you stepped foot in high school let alone the same person you will be when you step out. Enjoy every moment you have. Because in a few months you will walk the stage, and it will be of the best moments of your lives, believe me, but it will be quick and everything you rushed through seemed pointless. So don't rush, slow down and absorb everything. Moments with your siblings, your parents, your family, your friends, everything. After a couple months you will soon be forced to pack memories up and take them to a strange place where you don't know people and are forced to make new memories and new friends. You won't have that same group of friends because it feels like they are half way across the world, and your only way of communication to your family is phone calls and Facebook because you will be so busy.
Dear high school senior, enjoy everything. When you are thinking of staying home and studying or going to watch that movie with your best friends; chose the ladder of the two. You will still have that grade, but you won't have that time to be with friends or family.
College is here. College is waiting for you and it's exciting and fun, but wait. Take your time and be a kid as long as you can because you only have now, and once you get to graduation and see the people you have known for so long in caps and gowns and realize you will soon leave them, you will wonder where the time has gone, so please take your time and enjoy your last's because once you get into College you'll be happy you enjoyed the little moments with people who mattered.
"Today is your day. You're off to great places. You're off and away!" Dr. Seuss
