Ditch Your Laptop, Dump Your Boyfriend, Live in the Moment

Dear Incoming Freshmen,


Here’s the deal, high school is great. It really is!! Don’t let people tell you anything different! High school is like life, and life’s what you make it, so let’s make it rock. ;) When you go through four years at the same school, you realize that you have to make the most out of your time. You don’t want to be the person that just floats through classes and doesn’t do extra activities. Getting involved was one of the best things I ever did.
Whether it was joining a club or doing stats for the volleyball team, I had so much fun throughout my four years, so far!!! But I always wanted more, which is why I want you to consider joining a sport!! Only one thing keeps me from truly enjoying my high school experience. I wish I would have joined a sport. Softball is the name of the game. Ever since I was around 9, I dedicated myself to supporting the Los Angeles Dodgers, which would fuel my love of softball. I was never really athletic, so I never told my parents that I wanted to play, but I always had the desire. I just wanted to experience what the Dodgers did. I never joined softball, but I will always wish I did.
I just want to say, that if you have an inkling towards something, follow your heart!! It may pay off in the end, or maybe you will just enjoy the experiences you make. I hope you learn to try new things because it can never hurt. Live in the moment, because having regrets is not the business. Good luck, you’ll conquer high school.


Sincerely,
A Girl With One Regret.
