My graduation dress arrived last week from Lilly and I absolutely love it! I'm so excited to wear it in May, but at the same time it makes me realize just how fast this last bit of high school is flying by. 3. I …

I ordered my graduation dress this week. Am I rushing things?... Nah, but I'm still trying to ward off senioritis. It's not …
