I've been very excited about my graduation which will happen in a couple of weeks, and I can't stop posting about it. So bare with me here, through this blog post :)
I will cover a few things you should do prior to graduating, which are meant to make unforgettable memories and make you feel accomplished as you step out of your high-school journey. Note: I won't cover anything like make up plans for the summer, or find a job, as it is a separate subject of interest! :)
1. Start a Countdown
Something like a countdown might do a few things for you: cheer you up while you're finishing up a hated subject, motivate you to do something productive, and/or start making you feel a little sad about leaving you 4-year-long home. I found it to be a very purposeful tool for all of the above reasons, and now my memories from the last month of school will be more organized.
2. Pictures and Messages
Our generation gets to enjoy wonderful quality photographs taken from our phones and cameras, so never miss a chance to capture something like graduation - it must be kept in your memory forever! Some teachers or students do not prefer to take pictures, however, for various reasons, and that's perfectly fine. In this case, you could ask this person to write you a wonderful message and save it in your grad album, so it doesn't get lost.
3. "Thank You" Notes
It would be extremely nice if you would write your teacher/guidance councillor/friend/etc. a little "Thank You" note, or sign a card... Not only it will be a tangible object which contains memories, it is also very pleasant to receive something small, but precious like this.
4. Report
Some of us might have had unpleasant, or other experiences which we have suppressed for a long time. It's time to reveal all your concerns to/about whoever you need to. In case you will say any last words, though, make sure you are very polite, considerate, and mature about the issue.
5. Make a Little In-Class Party
Consider making a little in-class party before graduating from school! You could make up a movie-night with popcorn, a pizza party, with pizza and different discussions, and/or arrange something more creative than I just listed. Before arranging any event, however, make sure you are aware of any allergies or concerns of the participants in order to make the best time out of your party.
6. Make the Best Out of It
Make sure to make the best out of the last few weeks of high school. Get involved in any kinds of events, participate in contests, study fun, enjoy a coffee/tea/juice every now and then and just fill your time with great experiences! It might not seem like you're graduating a month before, but try your best to make the very best out of your last 20 school days.
