Tomorrow the last of four girls graduates high school. This is honestly a big deal. When you go through events over three times in your life you start to miss them when they are gone. Events such as elementary school fall festivals, Middle school sports, and just the reminder that 6 years ago I was in the same situation. I would rather forget about it but tomorrow I will experience a high school graduation for the last time when it comes to my sisters. We are all finally adults. I keep repeating it through my head because that is how I think.
I really don't understand my obsession with this but all in all that is life. So without further adoo.... I give my advice to my soon to be graduate baby sister.

Ha ha so what do you think about that! I think this list would have come in handy back when I started college almost 6 years ago.
Hopefully this will come in handy for some one else!

Congratulations! And I know what you mean, I do miss those times in school. The list sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI hate when I say I miss school but in all honesty I do! However if I went back I would probably want to just go home!
