Senior year of high school tends to be the year teens start ditching more, and start to care less about school. This is simply because it’s their last year of high school. Students feel everything is coming to an end and there’s nothing left to worry about.
Senior year is not the end but the beginning of the rest of your life. Finishing high school strong will help ease you into college. This is because college, or whatever job you plan on doing after high school, is going to be a lot harder than high school. So slacking off might push back your mentality for the future.
Senior year is a very important year. It’s the year you decide your future. You have to decide what you’re doing after high school. You turn in college essays and applications. You have to decide between a trade school or a four-year college. Some people even decide to go straight into the work field. There are many important decisions made during senior year.
Most colleges look at your senior year transcript. They do this to see if you finished your high school career strong. However they don’t receive the last semester until it is fully completed. If they see you failed to finish strong or slacked off they hold the power to revoke your acceptance, and that could ruin all of your goals.

“Senior year is not the end but the beginning of the rest of your life. Finishing high school strong will help ease you into college.”
I love this quote. It is so true. I viewed graduation as the end of a part in my life. Which is kind of true, but not actually. It should be viewed more as preparation for the continuance of your life. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to make it a great year or the best time of your life because there are so many beautiful things up ahead. View it as a regular year that bridges you into your next school year in a way.
