SUMMER

      Happy Thursday! Today I finished my last final and at commencement dinner I officially became a senior! I didn't expect to feel so cool when I thought of becoming a senior. I don't want to have too high of expectations, but I feel like your senior year of high school is kind of one of the most important years of your life. It's your last year living with your parents (hopefully), your last year as a "child," and your last year before you have to enter the real world. It's very frightening because I know I'm going to have to do a lot of hard work and figure out where I'm going to college, but I'm also excited because the pay-off is going to be amazing. My friend and I are going to celebrate the start of summer tomorrow by going on a shopping spree, I can't wait! I want this weekend to be super fun, since the rest of the summer is going to be spent at work. If you still have finals: hang in there, they'll be over soon! Good luck!

Carpe Diem,

Brooke
