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.

1. You Finally Get the Nicest Lockers

Finally....

2. Teachers Finally Treat You Like Adults

It's nice to finally be respected

3. Senior Privilege

Seriously we can pretty much do whatever we want now

4. You Know The School Like the Back of Your Hand

5. You Get Out of Standardized Testing

Honestly this might be the best reason

6. The Underclassman Look Up To You

You run the school now

7. Senior Skip Day

The classrooms will be empty but your spirits will be full

8.You Get To Hold Leadership Positions

President of chess club is finally yours!

9. Senior Pranks

The pressure is on! You have to beat the class of 2016

10. Class Bonding

11. You Only Have One More Year Until You're Out of There

If you can't find anything else to be excited about- you only have one year left!

High school definitely has it's highs and lows and I am excited to move on to the next stage of life but before I head off to college I am pumped to enjoy my final year of high school.
