Advice, Beautiful, and Best Friend: hit you when you begin to see all the promposals
and excitement of girls as they purchase their
dresses. It will hit you when you come home to
visit, and you feel like a stranger in your own bed
It will hit you when you're overwhelmed with the
weight of your schoolwork and all you want to do
is hold your mom's hand, hear encouraging words
from your father, or joke with your siblings. It will
hit you, and you won't be able to change the past.
You'll want to savor every moment you spent your
last days here, but it will be too late.
So make sure it's not too late. Practice the motto
of "carpe diem" every single day you have left at
home. Don't just make the best out of your senior
year. Make the best out of every day you have
before you pack your bags and begin your life.
There is so much going forward, and there is so
much to look toward, but slow down and keep
everything you have right in front of you in focus.
Because, before you know it, all of who you are wil
become who you were, and who you will become
will begin to make all the difference

And then it will hit you again when you're home for
Thanksgiving, and your family is talking about
events, conversations, memories, and everything
else you've missed. You'll love your new life and all
of the exciting friendships that accompany it, but
there will always be a little piece of home that
you'll never fill. It will hit you again when you're
studying for exams and you will remember
complaining about high school exams that you
wish you could go back and take instead. It will hit
you when you're home for winter break and you've
had to miss putting up the tree with your family
because you were at school. It will hit you when
the seniors after you begin talking about
graduation and how they can't wait to leave. It will
hit you when you begin to see all the promposals
and excitement of girls as they purchase their
dresses. It will hit you when you come home to
visit, and you feel like a stranger in your own bed
It will hit you when you're overwhelmed with the
weight of your schoolwork and all you want to do
is hold your mom's hand, hear encouraging words
from your father, or joke with your siblings. It will
hit you, and you won't be able to change the past.
You'll want to savor every moment you spent your
last days here, but it will be too late

Here it comes. Here comes the beginning of the
rest of your life. Here comes your independence
Here comes your freedom, your liberty, and your
future. Here comes the start of a new adventure
with all new surroundings and all new people
Here comes the discovery of you and your
capabilities. Here comes forever...
But there it goes. There goes the comfort of
your mom's hug when your heart has been
broken. There goes the Friday night
lights that
will forever brighten the stadium you consider
home. There go your best friends, and the
convenience of driving to their house at 2 a.m. to
go to Waffle House. There goes your family, and
waking up to see all of their faces every morning
There go your dogs and being able to hear their
excited barks every time you walk through the
door. There go your final days in those hallowed
halls that will always define the person you
became. There goes the uniform you've played
in for four years now. There goes the last pitch,
shot, goal, or pass you will ever make on that
field or court again. There go your senior prom
your last exam, your graduation, your summer,
and the goodbyes. There go your familiarity and

all of the people and places that fell alongside
Because with every new journey you're about to
embark on, there is going to be something you'll
have to say goodbye to for a little while. This time
is exciting and beautiful, but take heart and leave
nothing for granted. Because you will be sitting in
your dorm on that first night with either a complete
stranger or with someone you know across from
you and it will all make sense
It will make sense why they told you to extract
every ounce of joy that you could your during
senior year. It will make sense why they told you to
hug your mom a little tighter during those last few
months. It will make sense why you were
supposed to keep in touch with those you never
did. It will make sense why you received constant
questions about where you were going to college
It will make sense why you took countless college-
readiness surveys and questionnaires
They were trying to prepare you for becoming a
stranger to everything you used to know, and
become comfortable with everything you were
about to be
