Senior Checklist: Getting Ready For Senior Year
Senior year can be one of the most pivotal moments in high school. There are new challenges in store along with preparation that needs to be made for college. Today we want to take some time to get students up to speed for their most important year yet.
“Senior year can be one of the most pivotal moments in high school.”
GPA And Scholarships
One of the key components of senior year involves bunkering down to try and raise your grade point average in an effort to gain scholarships. Scholarships can make a massive difference in that they help fund college tuition and in some instances make it so students don't have to pay out of pocket. This is typically viewed as a way of rewarding those who managed to excel in academic achievement along with giving students a head start for higher education. A high GPA is also a requirement for enrollment in certain colleges which can affect choices depending on where a student wants to go. While some students may not recognize the importance of good grades in high school, they can offer unparalleled freedom and choice later in life.

Preparing For College
For many students higher education is one of their main goals. College can have several requirements depending on where you opt to go. SAT's and ACT's function as tests to help gauge a students aptitude in a wide variety of subjects. Many colleges use these as a sort of screening process to help determine eligibility for admissions. Seniors will need to dedicate a healthy amount of time to practice and prepare for these tests as they can help for their future endeavors. Seniors will also want to have a college admissions essay ready and prepared. This essay can ideally highlight a student's history along with their ambitions and why college can help with that. While it may be easy to feel the need to achieve, this essay should highlight your best qualities along with being honest with your strengths and areas to improve.

Enjoying The Journey
More than anything else, seniors should make sure that they enjoy the journey. High school along with all the events and activities for senior year can help develop character and charisma. Extracurricular activities can give students the chance to meet others who are passionate about the same interests along with building up their resume. Mentally taking time for yourself is also something that seniors will want to do. Some seniors are in the position of having to work while also doing high school full time. This can leave students feeling stressed out as they may be working to help pay for rent or future college tuition. Seniors will want to take extra care of themselves as they will need all the mental energy they can get to help focus on their academic priorities. Being mindful on your mental health along with remembering to have fun during your senior year can make a world of difference.

Your Senior Year Awaits
With new horizons in front of students, senior year brings with it a new era of adulthood. While college may be just around the bend, it's good to remember to cherish the present along with being ready for the future.
