You made it!! Can you feel the nostalgia starting to set in? Well, hold that thought, because the first semester of senior year is no cakewalk. Remember how junior year was all about AP classes and SATs/ACTs and prepping for college? Yeah. So is first semester senior year. It’s time to make yourself a calendar of college application deadlines, SAT/ACT test dates (for retakes), AP exams, graduation gown orders, etc. There’s a reason we’ve all heard of senioritis. Don’t succumb! …Because second semester senior year is amazing. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel. Believe it or not, after the stress of college applications, and waiting for acceptances, you actually get to pick a college. And go to that college. So, please, enjoy this time with your friends and take part in your school’s senior year rituals. A change is gonna come (Sam Cooke, anyone?) and it’s going to be amazing. :)

Here is an exceptionally lengthy and most certainly over-kill list of what […]
I hate to be “that person,” but for the betterment of your senior year, I will suffer the reputation. I’m not about to tell you that summer shouldn’t be fun, relaxing, indulgent: because it should be. What it should also be, however, is the perfect opportunity to prepare yourself for the oncoming chaos.
Whether you’re rejoicing or mourning at the conclusion of the school year, the days we’ve got left are disappearing fast. It’s a weird kind of time for seniors, one in which nobody really knows how to feel. Nostalgic about our fleeting youth? Excited for the transition into “adulthood”? There’s definitely some fear and anxiety that […]
As consumed by finals as you may be (or may not be, if you’re an intelligent senior… I am not one of those), you can start finding solace in the fact that the end is near. I’m talking breakfasts at 11:00 a.m. Afternoons by the beach. Evenings catching up on every Netflix movie that you […]
