Your whole life has been leading up to this ...
All the laughter, all of the tears, all of the years of being "a kid," and now you are the top dog -- you're a high school senior. First and foremost, congratulations on making it this far. But this is the beginning of the end. Senior year will fly by and sometimes you forget to make the most of it. So here you go -- the definitive list to make senior year YOUR year! #1: Take Risks with People This could be the last year that you see a lot of people that you grew up with -- the crush you've always admired from afar, the friend you got into a silly fight with, the person that you made fun of and feel badly about. You may regret not talking to these people to fix things or let your feelings be known. Granted, things could go badly, but they could also relieve years worth of feelings. It's worth a shot. #2: Take a Tour of Your College Everybody remembers the first time they were on their college campus. They remember the way it made them feel, and for many students, that feeling led them to make their decision. It is just something that you do not forget. Plus, it also helps to not have the nervousness of classes the first time you step on campus.
#3: Don't Fail
Senioritis is a real affliction. 106% of high school seniors are diagnosed with this illness. Once you get accepted into college, it's super easy to just work a lot less hard. After all, you have reach your goal. But remember, colleges DO rescind acceptances. So, you might as well keep working hard to practice for college in the fall.
#4: Make Those Memories
And on the flip-side of #3, don't work too hard. After all, you did work hard to get here. I'm not talking about going to prom or taking senior pictures. I mean do things that you've never done before. Bury a time capsule with your friends. Go skydiving. Just do something that make your senior year extraordinary!
