Your Senior Year Isn’t The End

High school is a great time to discover what makes you tick. Many kids excel during their time in high school, becoming captains of sports and dance teams, editors at the school paper, and lead actors in school plays. You develop close friendships that you never want to lose.

But now you’re a senior. All that is about to change. And it’s okay.

High school will always be a place for fond memories, but college can be even better. High school years are all about you. You can afford to try out for the play, you can take a risk and join the water polo team, or you can sign up for the auto mechanics class. These experiences help define what you like and dislike, and they extend even further in college.

In college, you decide your schedule. You determine when you’ll wake up and when you’re going to take your classes. You can experiment with even more of your interests, and, depending on your major, they may not even be considered extra-curricular activities. This few years is a valuable time to experiment and discover, so take chances.

Before you know it, you’ll be graduated, tied down to a mortgage and spending countless hours at work. If you’ve been selfish enough—if you’ve experimented enough, that time you spend at work will be fun and rewarding because you’ll have discovered what you like best.
