So, this is it. You’re in the
homestretch my friends. You’re in your final semester of childhood. It’s
insane, I know. Time is going to fly by faster than you ever could have imagine
it would. It’s the little moments and the seemingly insignificant memories
you’re going to miss the most. The spontaneous nights with lifelong friends, or
the thought provoking conversations with teachers. The bus rides home with
teammates, or the laughs shared with classmates. Make lots of moments, have a
TON of fun. Here’s a couple of tidbits of advice I gathered from my now
washed-up-freshmen-in-college friends. Enjoy.
1.
The familiarity
you’re feeling right now isn’t going to last that much longer. Enjoy it, love
it.

welcome to one of the best times of your life so far. Enjoy every single
second.
