Going into your last year of highschool seems like a breeze, but it is much harder than it feels. Lots of people have many regrets by the end of it all and even want to repeat the year. When everyone tells you it goes by fast they are not lying. So these are some things to remeber to make your senior year a success so buckle up and ride this year out with no regerts... or well regrets.

1. Always tell your family about your day.

You may not think it is important, but to them it means the world.

2. Go to every football game even if your boyfriend is older than you.

It will be important once you do not have the option to go ever again you will regret not going

3. Make as many memories with your best friends as possible

By summer you might not have the time to make any By summer you will be insanely busy so hang out with your friends and take tons of pictures.

4. Say goodbye to your favorite teachers because you never know if they'll be there when you come visit.

If you do not say goodbye to them when you leave you may never get the chance to you never know when they'll move on!

5. Enjoy the things you do every year such as Marching band or the Talent Show or maybe even orchestra because the last time will come fast


The last time hits you like a boulder as you stand as a senior, but live that bittersweet moment up!

6. Do not be afraid to cry sometimes its bittersweet being a senior


Everything is happy, yet is sad near the end. So cry. It is normal. Soak it up.


7. Study study study! Senior year is not easy.

Well that one explains itself... do not become a senior again.

8. Smile as much as you can.

Smiling is not always easy, but enjoy these days they are the easy ones


9. Buy the tassel and cup and key ring. I promise you'll never use them again, but you'll be happy you have them.

It is unnecessarily expensive, but you'll want it when it all ends.

10. Do not be afraid to go crazy at graduation cry, scream, laugh it is the last chance to do so as a kid

This is the last time to really live it up its a huge accomplishment and a goodbye live it up.

Bonus tip: Do not take anything for granted.

Even the little things should mean the world!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
