3. Meet a New Person Every Day
A simple goal you can set for yourself that will help make senior year amazing is meeting a new person every day! This is your last year in high school, so it’s a good idea to meet as many people as possible! This will also encourage you to get out every weekend, and go to the mall or simply a local coffee shop to meet a new person that day. Everyone you meet is going to teach you something new, so why not start meeting new, interesting individuals today?
4. Learn a New Skill
This is your final year of high school! That means it’s your last chance to take quality classes for free, and learn a new skill just for fun. Take this opportunity to begin learning a new hobby, language, or trait. You’ll never know how learning something new will benefit you in the future!
5. Make Memories
Well, duh! What is senior year for if not making memories? After this year, you and your friends could quite possibly go your separate ways. While that isn’t much fun to think about, you should keep it in mind so that harsh reality can encourage you to make memories every day! Spend as much time as possible with your friends having fun, taking pictures, and making memories that will last a lifetime.
6. Attend Senior Activities
Part of making memories is attending all of the senior activities your school offers! That means prom, grad night, a senior trip, and anything else your school may offer exclusively for seniors! These activities are designed for making memories and making new friends. You’ll never feel more school spirited than at these events, so make sure you plan on attending during your senior year!
7. Live without Regrets
In fifty years, it’s more likely that you’ll regret not doing something than you will regret doing something foolish or crazy. That being said, don’t go out partying and drinking, or putting yourself in undesirable situations. Use good judgement, but try to live without regrets and keep moving forward, having the time of your life!
Senior year should be an exciting time for everyone, and you should be proud of yourself for making it through high school! Now that the end is almost here, what are you looking forward to most about senior year? How do you plan on making it the best year yet?
