Though the end of the year is approaching quickly, it still pays off to push through and finish off the school year.
“If there’s one thing you should consider on this list, it’s that your last high school transcript can still impact your college decisions. This is particularly true regarding scholarships and financial aid, which are the last things you want to put in jeopardy,” myredkite said.
Senioritis is familiar to many seniors as the waning motivation in a student’s final year. It often seems unavoidable. However, giving it a label doesn’t mean you have to join in.
“Just because there’s a name for it, doesn’t mean senioritis has to be real! Don’t give in to the senioritis hype or let yourself be defeated the first time you’re hit with apathy, procrastination, or lack of motivation. The ebb and flow of these feelings are normal, especially during your senior year, but they don’t have to set the tone for the rest of your time in high school,” myredkite said.
As you step aboard on the journey of getting organized, it is vital to set specific goals for yourself. These goals act as milestones, providing direction and a sense of purpose. This approach enhances your productivity and instills a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
“While you’re getting organized, be sure to set goals for yourself to give you something to work towards,” myredkite said.
It is important to sustain the effort you put into your academic journey over the past four years. Graduating and achieving your academic goals are made possible by the continued effort in the final stretch.
“Your schooling is a marathon, not a sprint. You don’t want to make it this far and give up in the final stretch. Show how committed you are and that you take your academics and learning seriously by continuing to give your all to classes and responsibilities,” myredkite said.
After 269 days of school this year and 14 years of schooling, becoming an adult and finding yourself is a change that is bound to affect you.
“The fact of the matter is: you’re going to college! It’s a big responsibility and transitioning to the college life will be fun, rewarding, and sometimes challenging. The good habits and mentalities you maintain at the end of this part of your life can transfer to the beginning of the next,” myredkite said.
