11 Reasons To Get Excited For Senior Year

It's that time of year again. June and July have come and gone way too quickly, which means August has descended upon us-bringing with it the commercials for school supplies and the school forms in my email inbox. For me,it means back-to-school for the last time in my general education career. It's easy to for me and for most other incoming seniors to have a big case of senioritis from the moment school starts. This illness seems to plague seniors every year, and although I feel affects of some of it coming on I am determined to be excited for the my last year of high school because after all there are a lot of benefits to being a senior in high school.
