Finally Putting Senioritis To Sleep
Graduation Caps

So you've registered for your fall semester of your final year of college? While this is an exciting and riveting time for many rising seniors about to embark on their last year of an impactful segment of their life, we must remember to stay the course. Listed below are 10 ways to stay in the game and make it to graduation. Here are the 10 ways to put that early senioritis to sleep.

1. Go to Class

At the end it may get hard to find the motivation to attend classes. However, the skills you learn and the discussions you have in the classroom setting are priceless. Take advantage of your education and give 111% in all of your senior years classes, besides for some of us the will be our last.

2. Eat regularly

Many seniors no longer have meal plans once they reach their capstone year. ensure you are taking time out of your busy schedule to feed yourself, and no living off Wendy's 4 for $4 and chugging tequila is not a balanced diet!

3. Sleep

With senior research, partying, traveling, working, applying to grad school, and looking for jobs, it can become difficult to remember to sleep. However, sleep is the most important element to succeeding in your senior year. Make a schedule this way you can prioritize your life while ensuring there is an adequate amount of time to catch some zzz's.

4. Stop binge drinking

While everyone is happy they are finally 21, remember to leave room for tomorrow. You only get two livers so take care of them. Many seniors become dysfunctional senior year because they are too hungover to get work done as a result of binge drinking the night before.

5. Do all of your assignments

Let's be honest, we get lazy senior year! Make sure you are paying attention to your syllabus and getting those assignments turned in. Besides, you've made it too far not to graduate now!

6. Complete readings

"Readings smeadings" as the saying goes senior year! Although you feel that you are done and you've learned everything there is to know, you haven't. Get those readings done, participate in class, and leave your impact on your campus!

8. Pay your dues

I've seen too many seniors wait until the last minute to order chords, send out graduation invitations, book after graduation trips etc. Pay your dues you only graduate undergraduate once, so do it right. Save over the summer to ensure everything you want to accomplish is within you budget and can be obtained.

9. Job hunt/ Grad school

You don't want to be that college graduate working at McDonald's after graduation or bumming around your parent's house twiddling your fingers. Make sure you are taking the necessary precautions to prepare solid grad school applications and looking for jobs. There's no better feeling than having a place to go after you walk across the stage!

10. Enjoy the ride

Some senior stress way too much. It's your last year so carpe diem!

The senior journey can be beyond stressful, you're about to be an adult for goodness sake. But don't fret with this formula your obligated to succeed and become that important person your parents have always bragged that you are!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
