<\/p>\nit\u2019s the final stretch! we\u2019re almost there!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
right now, there\u2019s basically nothing left to do but wait till summer\u2026 so you might as well take advantage of your last few months as a high school student.
\n <\/p>\n
most colleges set up facebook groups for members of the class of 2019 to get to know each other. don\u2019t hesitate to like, comment, and create posts of your own. friend people and message away. everyone just wants to make new friends, so they won\u2019t reject you. it will be great to already know some people when you start school.<\/p>\n
whether or not your school has a facebook group, you probably know a few people from your hometown that attend your college. make sure to message them with any questions you may have. maybe you can even meet up when they come home for breaks. now you have an experienced, upperclassman friend!
\n <\/p>\n
you\u2019re about to leave your family and friends for at least four years. you don\u2019t want to regret not saying something in person when you had the chance. you have nothing to lose! it\u2019s not like you\u2019ll have to see them everyday if things get awkward.<\/p>\n
ask your crush to prom. cut out toxic frenemies. remind true friends how much you appreciate them. tell your parents how much you love them. now is the perfect time to be honest with everyone. get everything off your chest. it will allow you to have a true fresh start in college.
\n <\/p>\n
on a related note, give thanks to those that deserve it. you wouldn\u2019t have made it this far without the teacher that helped you during free periods, the college counselor that told you about your dream school, and the family members that supported you in good times and bad. whether the thank you is verbal, hand-written, or even through a gift, do what you need to do before you say goodbye.
\n <\/p>\n
just because grades don\u2019t matter as much any more, doesn\u2019t mean you should spend all your time watching netflix. use all of this time to give extracurricular activities your all. train for any sports you plan on playing in college. make the newspaper or the yearbook the best it can possibly be. write a novel. take more photos. do whatever you always wanted to do but couldn\u2019t because you had too much homework.
