Cherish each day at school as these are the days you will look back upon.

You only have one school year from 2017-2018, so why not make it the best?

1. Take every opportunity.

Opportunities come and go, but it is up to you whether to take life by the reins or to let another adventure pass by you. A second wasted is time that can never be retrieved. So, make sure every second count. Whether you are in high school or college, these are the times... This is YOUR TIME!

2. Get meals with friends.

At the end of a long day, there is nothing quite like grabbing a bite to eat. Eating with friends and talking about what happened that day — the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens. Treat yourself to ice cream every once in a while because ending the day on a sweet note is never a bad idea.

3. Try for the unexpected.

Try out for clubs and organizations that you would never think of trying or one that interests you. Once you find that passion, never stop reaching for your dreams. In life, the only thing that can prevent you from attaining those goals is fear itself.

4. Drink lots and lots of coffee.

It is the secret saving grace to late nights, good study sessions, and great times. Sometimes, we all need that kick and this is my secret recipe. It comes in the form of mocha and caramel and what is better than that!

5. Don't look for love, for love will find you.

Love is everywhere and it is up to you whether to welcome it or not. Love for friendship and love for a relationship, either way, we must be receptive to whatever is thrown our way.

In high school and college, you will meet lots of people some who you like and do not like, but this gives you perspective. Every encounter teaches and emphasizes what your values are, so do not be afraid to take a step back and listen.

6. Laugh at least once a day.

It is proven that if you laugh and smile once a day that improves your health. Laugh at those corny jokes on Laffy Taffy wrappers, the mistakes made, and those The Office references. Put little jokes and pictures to make you smile in your locker or dorm room to help you in this mission.

7. Every day might not be easy, but...

Remember that behind every stormy cloud is a sunshine. We have to go through the tough times at school — whether it be mean girls or academically challenging exams. But, you can do it. Know you are never alone in the fight.

8. Make time for family.

Your family is here for you in the good and the bad times, so never forget that you are not alone. They are here to support you during your academic school year whether it be with exams, homework or issues with friends. Do not be afraid to ask for help, but also be mindful of others issues and lend a helping hand.

9. Remember that you are in school for an education...

So, put everything you got into your school. Go to those teacher hours. Go to the library and when you are in there, make sure you focus in. You are going to school for a degree and then a job SO MAKE EVERY CENT WORTH IT!

10. BUT Don't Forget While Studying and Working Hard to Have Fun!

Enjoy all that life has to offer especially the little things. Go on those spur of the moment weekend road trips, sporting events and concerts, and enjoy those stay in movie nights.
