Being a senior in high school brings lots of excitement. Knowing how close you are to freedom in life also causes you to just jump right to it and stop with school. Dubbed “senioritis,” it makes senior year very difficult for people to endure and enjoy, but the keys to enjoying senior year with senioritis lie right here in this article.
The biggest way to make it through the year with senioritis is to experience it with people you enjoy being around! Being with the special people in your life makes every moment more special and memorable than being by yourself. If you don’t have someone to experience your senior year with, there is still time to find that person or group of people! Branching out and getting to know others to make memories with will be its own adventure that you won’t forget, so don’t be afraid to take that leap of faith and talk to that person in class, at lunch or wherever else you may find a potential friend to make memories with!
Another effective way of getting past your senioritis is simply to get involved at school! Weber High is home to a large variety of clubs and groups to join. Having extracurricular activities to participate in helps the school year breeze by much quicker than normal. If you look through the different clubs to join, there’s sure to be at least one that you would fit right in with. Inviting your friends to join clubs with you will allow you to end up with some great memories and adventures to tell your kids about someday. Joining clubs is also a great way to find new friends! If that was something you were struggling with, it is fairly easy to become friends with people who share similar interests to you, which is exactly what type of people you’ll find in the clubs you are joining.
Taking fun classes does absolute wonders with making your senior year memorable. As a senior, you are given a lot of free space in your class schedule to choose a lot more elective classes, so filling those with tons of super fun and entertaining classes will help you enjoy your senior year even more. Senioritis hits many people like a ton of bricks so you want some fun classes to help you get through the day rather than a stale and difficult class that you could be risking your GPA for.
There is no true way to get rid of senioritis, all you can do is move through it and have fun in the process. Having a blast in your senior year helps take your mind off the actual school part that makes senioritis so awful in the first place. Being true to yourself and doing what you’re most comfortable with is what will help you survive your senior year with senioritis. If you think that the advice given isn’t as effective for you, then there are more ways to do it. It’s all about finding what ways work best for you, how you are going to overcome that senioritis and have the best senior year that you can possibly have!
