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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
