4 Little Tips For the High School Seniors

You only think you're ready to get out of there.


1. Stop complaining about being in high school.

You only get to go through high school once. Stop complaining about the bull crap work that you have do. You're gonna miss it. You're gonna miss the teachers reminding you when things are due. You're gonna miss your parents making you go to class because the one day you don't go to class in college you get bonus or they assign something that you have no idea about.

2. Go to all the events.

Spring semester will bring a ton of senior events. Go to them all. You've probably been told this a million times but it's because it's so true. Just go.

3. Start preparing for college early.

Figure out what you are going to need and start shopping early. There's nothing like shopping at the very last minute and not getting what you want. Don't get everything on the list the college sends you. Find a friend that has lived in the dorms and they should be able to tell you exactly what you need and do not need.

4. Spend time with your family.

Believe me, I was ready to get off to college, away from my family for a little bit. I thought that I knew how to do everything and I would be just fine. Wrong! I call my mom and dad every other day and text them almost daily. If it's not a question about what to do then it's an "I miss you, can I just come home?". Spend Friday nights at home watching movies or playing cards. It'll be well worth it when you look back on all the memories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Chandler Bing
Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
