Hey guys, junior here getting a bit anxious about making the most of senior year. Any tips on how to have a good senior year both academically and socially? What should I focus on to end high school on a high note while balancing college apps?
Hello there! Your senior year is indeed a special time, and it's fantastic that you're looking ahead to make the most of it. Academically, stay true to a challenging course load, but don't overburden yourself to the point of burnout. Balancing is key – if you've maintained good study habits thus far, continue with them and keep an open line of communication with your teachers for support.
On the social side, actively participate in school events and cherish the moments with your classmates. For college apps, start early to reduce stress. Dedicate time over the summer to work on your essays and compile the necessary information for applications. Remember, it's also important to make time for yourself – read a book, exercise, or engage in a hobby. By managing your time wisely and maintaining a positive mindset, you'll create a senior year that's both productive and enjoyable. For any specific advice or help planning out your year, feel free to reach out to your school counselor – we're here to help!
