I spent my whole life up to that point just waiting to get out. Not that I didn’t have great friends, family, and experiences at home – I just wanted something different, as I’m sure that many of you do. One piece of advice that I can give to you right now is to enjoy your last few months at home. Your high school friends are a special bunch, it’s breaking your parents’ hearts that you’ll be leaving, and you won’t get a delicious home cooked meal for weeks.
However, you do have a lot to look forward to: friendships that will last a lifetime, professors that you’ll never forget, and nights that you couldn’t even make up. This is an exciting time; you will never be in this same spot again, so smile, soak it all in, and get ready for the best time of your life.
For now, try not to trip at graduation and don’t do anything that could jeopardize the awesomeness that awaits you. I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors and hope that you will share the same sentiments that I have.
