Memories

Well. Sophomore year is almost over. Writing this blog is so bittersweet. When I look back over the past school year and think of all the different memories I have, I go from smiling to crying to laughing and do it all over again. I think of the times where I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe and the times where tears streamed down my eyes. I think about the restless nights where I stayed up for hours studying and the nights that I didn't wanna go to sleep because I didn't wanna say goodnight. I think about all the friendships that I've made this year and all the broken relationships. I think about all the things that made this year so stressful and the little things that made it worthwhile. I can definitely say I've grown, and there's no doubt I've learned this year. But when I think about this year, I sure wish someone would have warned me! I most definitely wasn't prepared for it. So as I end sophomore year and began junior year, I will leave you with a few words of advice.

1. Be thankful for everything. You never know which breathe may be your last or when the last time you will talk to someone may be, so take nothing for granted.

2. Cherish your close friends. You know those few people who have always been there for you? Yeah, don't lose them. Don't ever take them for granted because you have no idea how much you need them.

3. Don't trust everyone. Some people will act like they care, but they only want to tear you down. Choose your friends wisely and don't share everything with everyone.

4. Study. Study. Study. Sophomore year is a lot harder than freshman year. You're in for it. Not everything's gonna be so easy anymore. Keep your grades up.

5. HAVE FUN!! Your high school years are supposed to be some of the best of your life. Don't wish your life away. Take a break and take it all in, you're gonna miss this!

Good luck!
