Best Advice for 2018 High School SENIORS!| Back To School| Top tips Part 1

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Senior year can be an adventure filled with hard work and well-deserved festivities. However, even through the air of celebration, you're probably starting to think about all that lies ahead. Here are some senior year hacks to keep you cool and collected during your final year of high school:

1. Pencil it in
There's a lot on your plate and winging it isn't always the best strategy. From applying to college to making plans for senior week, a strong calendar game will be one of the most invaluable tools in your senior toolkit. Senior year can have a lot going on, so a digital or paper calendar that you use can be a huge asset. Make a to-do list and set milestones on your calendar. Few things in life will feel more satisfying than crossing items off that list.

2. Savor the moment
You may be eager to leave high school and step into the world of adulthood, but don't get ahead of yourself. The world isn't going anywhere. Make sure to take time and savor the joys of senior year. Go to football games; hangout with friends; drive around aimlessly. Becoming an adult is exciting, but growing up comes with its own challenges. You have the rest of your life to enjoy adulthood, but you only have now to enjoy your time as a teenager.

3. Go easy on yourself
With graduation on the horizon, every decision might feel like the most important choice of your life, but try to take it easy. Maybe you'll get into your first choice college; maybe you won't. Either way, things will be okay. Bumps in the road may feel insurmountable, so remember to go easy on yourself. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Take a deep breath and remember: something that feels like a setback today is only one step on a long, exciting journey toward tomorrow.

4. Keep your cool
SATs, friend drama, parties, college applications - this can be a chaotic and exciting time in your life. However, with every excitement becomes an equal dose of stress. That's why it's important to learn and commit to healthy means of stress management. You may feel busy or overwhelmed, but now is not the time to neglect those morning runs or evening journal entries that always manage to clear your head. Take things one day at a time, and you'll get through senior year no problem.

5. Just do you
High school is coming to an end and, soon, the people you've grown up with are moving on and (in some cases) out of your life. Whether your peers are heading off to college, the military, job training programs, or any number of post-high school endeavors, it's time to practice the art of perspective. In high school, it's easy to get caught up in what people think of you, but now is the time to let go. Soon you will be on your own, achieving bigger and better things. Don't let your past define you. Take this time to prioritize the things that really matter - real friends, hard work, exciting adventures, and yourself.

The stress of high school can get to you sometimes, and between making time to maintain due dates and a social life, and finding balance or stability can be difficult. Anxiety is a huge demotivate for most people and its something that you have to work on continuously, everyday, in order to give yourself the best shot at being successful.

With less than 50 days left until graduation, I think it's safe to say that we're all feeling a little blessed and a lot stressed. The second semester of senior year brings about a lot of feelings. Some days, you laugh. You laugh because it's finally warm outside, because your best friend makes you feel genuine happiness, and because in less than 50 days you don't have to take another midterm or final ever.

Other days, you cry. You cry in the car and leaving class and in front of your friends and in front of strangers. On those days, we all need a little help to get us through. Here are eight tips to help you survive your second semester of senior year:

1. Invest in a tiny stapler

I know that this one sounds kind of silly, and it is kind of a random one. However, having a small stapler has saved my life (and my grade) on more than one occasion this semester. It can be hit or miss on whether or not a professor wants something stapled, so better be safe than sorry and just carry a small one around.

2. Get a Happy Planner

It can be overwhelming when you're trying to keep up with your social calendar, your capstone course, your other 15 hours, and holidays. It is so important to stay organized, and a Happy Planner is my favorite way to do so.

3. Find someone you can vent to about senior year struggles

This person should have no problem listening to you continuously complain about research assignments, senior thesis, job hunting, the fact that we still can't listen to new Beyoncé music on Spotify, and the fact that boys are still confusing. Be sure to return the favor and listen to their senior struggles, as well.

4. Find somewhere new to study

When you've been in a town for 4+ years, it can be easy to fall into habits. Try shaking things up by studying in your sorority house instead of the library, or outside rather than in Starbucks. You'd be surprised how much a simple change in scenery can help you focus.

5. Decide what's next based on what you want

Don't apply to graduate schools just because your parents want you to or because your boyfriend or girlfriend is going. Don't apply for jobs in a city that you'll be miserable living in because that's what is expected of you. Don't move back home if you don't want to. You're about to graduate college. Your life is about to drastically change. Make sure that you're making decisions based on what you want.

6. Start looking at graduate programs and jobs early

On that note, graduate with peace of mind by having an idea of what's next. Some places are willing to hire you months in advance. I, personally, found a job two months before graduation and it was a huge weight being lifted off of my shoulders.

7. Take it all in

Take a step back from your apartment that is full of your friends' laughter. Take a step back from studying for your last ever finals. Walk a little slower across campus. Now, take it all in and realize how beautiful this time of your life is. Really appreciate it because in a little over a month, this won't be your life anymore.

8. Carpe Diem

If there's something that you've been dying to do in your college life but haven't done, do it. If you've never stayed up until sunrise, do it. Say yes where you would have normally said no. Carpe every freaking diem.

Now good luck, graduates. You can do it.
