OMG IM GRADUATING SOON- here’s what to do!✨✨

Don’t panic, panicking and worrying will only make things worse but here’s some steps from an high school alumni going into college, and what to expect for graduation and starting a new college

first is don’t give up I know the senioritis is probably hitting hard right now, but you still have to pass your classes. If not, you’re stuck in a situation where you might have to take a summer class or you won’t be able to graduate at all and have to stay for another year I know it’s hard, but push through.

Second go to graduation practices. I know you might be done with school, but they also count as well and you could also not be able to graduate because you don’t go to practice. It is very lengthy and long to sit through all of that direction, but it is necessary.

remember to bring any cords or pins and wear your shawls to graduation it shows how much you have accomplished either it be high school or college where those with pride because you earned it and you worked hard for it.

if you can do something fun and decorate your graduation caps, some schools may not allow you to, but most of them will so show off that creative style.

it’s OK if you don’t have a college picked out right after you graduate high school most people either don’t want to or choose to do a gap year since all of the senior stuff high school at least is stressful and overwhelming to people, but there is no shame in that sometimes you just need time.

... Read moreWow, graduating high school feels like yesterday, and I totally get that mix of excitement and 'OMG what do I do now?' panic! As someone who's been there, I want to share a few more things I learned to make your high school graduation not just smooth, but truly special. It's such a milestone, and you deserve to soak it all in. While passing those last classes is crucial (senioritis is REAL!), don't forget the practical stuff that goes into high school graduation preparation. Make sure your transcripts are sorted for college applications or future plans. This might seem minor, but it can save you a headache later. Also, take time to write thank-you notes to teachers, mentors, or even friends who've supported you. It's a small gesture but means a lot, and it's part of wrapping up your high school journey thoughtfully. On the actual graduation day, trust me, you'll want to be prepared. I remember rushing around! Beyond just showing up for practice, think about what you'll wear under your graduation cap and gown. Something comfortable but nice is key, as you'll likely be taking photos before and after. Pack a small emergency kit: safety pins for your colorful cords, a tiny mirror, and some water. Coordinate with your family about where to meet afterwards – venues can get crazy crowded! Planning this ahead made my day so much less stressful, letting me focus on the celebration. Speaking of your cap and gown, this is where you can really let your personality shine and add to your high school graduation aesthetic! If your school allows, get creative with decorating your cap. Mine had a theme that represented my future plans, and it was so fun seeing everyone else's unique designs. Those colorful cords you've earned? Wear them with pride! They're symbols of your hard work and achievements. Think about how you want to pose for photos – solo shots with your diplomas, silly ones with friends, and heartfelt ones with family. These snapshots will be treasures from your high school graduation. It's not just about the ceremony; it's about the entire experience. Plan a special graduation dinner or get-together with your closest friends and family. I even took a moment to get a 'kiss for good luck from my cat' before heading out, which made for a funny memory! These little personal touches are what you'll remember years down the line. Don't be afraid to take tons of pictures – you'll cherish looking back at 'How I got ready For Graduation' and celebrating with everyone around you. And if you're still figuring out what's next, whether it's college, a gap year, or diving straight into work, that's perfectly okay. This is your journey. The most important thing is to celebrate this incredible milestone and feel proud of everything you've accomplished. You've worked so hard, and now it's time to enjoy the fruits of that labor before stepping into your next adventure. You absolutely can do this!
