To all the incoming freshman, and all other grades in high school:  always cherish these years. You will eventually miss these times and will miss seeing your friends every day. I personally know this, as I am a senior and will be gone in less than five months. I will live 2 hours away, and will not be seeing my long time friends every day of my life. You will get so used to being at the high school and being around your friends every day, and when it is over, it will be so different and feel like a whole new life has just started for you.

Don’t get me wrong, you will be ready to graduate, and ready to do something new, but it will be hard and it will be very different to you. No matter how much you think you hate high school and all the drama that comes with it, you should still cherish it. Go out with friends, go to events and sports games, attend all the dances, even if you hate them, because someday you will look back and wish you would have been there for it all.
