*IMPORTANT POST FOR HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS! STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND READ THIS POST!* *not Hetalia-related; not history-related* These are screenshots of the letter that can be found at the link I shared several minutes ago. If you are a high school senior, especially one who is stressing out over something academic-related (which is literally every single senior ever), READ THIS POST AND LOOK AT THESE PICTURES. Once youre done with that, come back up here and read my version of this letter: I myself am currently a high school senior and if youve been paying attention to this page you know that Ive been wanting to post more and more but end up posting less and less as the early action deadline of November 15 comes around. I want to take breaks and post on this page for you guys but I always end up putting school work first because I want to hand in all of the things and finish everything on time if not early, because I desperately want to avoid making the same mistakes this year that I made last year. Im hella stressed out. Im pulling my hair out almost every day and crying almost every week. Senior year isnt supposed to be this torturous. It shouldnt be. But it is. And it hurts. But this letter reminded me something that not a lot of teachers or parents take the time to tell their students/children often enough. It reminded me to RELAX. And I hope it does the same for you. Yes, this year is the end. Yes, this year is that last run in the relay race of high school. Yes, this is the year where we determine what futures we want to have and are told which futures we got accepted into. But remember that this is the year right before we break free of the stresses of high school. This is the year we are supposed to enjoy ourselves. This is the year where we make the memories with each other and with ourselves that we wont ever forget. This is the year where we are supposed to get through the present and look towards the future, in a positive way. So yes, while we have a ton of things due for college and teachers and scholarships and contests and other things, it is important to remember to take some time to relax. Take a break. Goof off for an hour or five. Waste a day hanging out with your school friends. Waste two days hanging out with your online friends! Take breaks from what youre doing so you can relax and relieve some stress. You deserve it. We all do. Remember that post a short while ago about remembering to take a break from what youre doing to take care of yourself and eat/bathe/sleep/etc? Well, do that here. Take a break from all of that crazy stuff. You need it and you deserve it. I hope this letter and mine have helped you in some way. Just hang in there and remember to take care of yourselves. Were almost there! Link to the letter: theprospect.net/a-letter-to-my-high-school-senior-peers-11886
