Don´t forget it, this is the first day of the rest of your life.

Since you finished to serve your sentence, this is the first day of the rest of your life.

This is the first day of the rest of your life, so you have to make it count.

Sentence 1. This is the first day of the rest of your life that you shall never forget.

Sentence 2. As you may have heard, this is the first day of the rest of your life.

Sentence 3. This is the first day of the rest of your life, and I remember it just like yesterday.

Aliocha, your first sentence is really two sentences! And your third sentence uses a semi-colon, which defeats the purpose of the exercise.

Sofia and Yosua, your first sentence adds an independent clause rather than a phrase.

Jefferson, your first sentence adds a relative clause rather than a phrase.

Here is an example of an added phrase:

This is the first day of the rest of your life as a student.
