I'm glad that I worked hard on my academics. However, I wish I went out and did stuff more, and also found a niche in my art.

Make sure that you get all of your college apps in early!! Don't procrastinate, it's so stressful, especially with senior year final work piled on top.

My advice is to do what you love, and things will work out for you. Volunteer doing something you care about, join clubs you're interested in, and make art that you're passionate about.

It's your senior year, enjoy it.
