Senior year is always seen as the best year of high school, but for some that isn't true. Some incoming seniors dread still having another year of high school left. I was one of those seniors who felt miserable most of senior year. There were good times with friends, but overall it wasn't the awesome experience everyone makes it out to be. Here's what I have to tell those seniors who, like me, just couldn't wait for senior year to be over and done with only a week in.

It's okay to not enjoy senior year, I didn't. Don't force yourself to do things you don't want to do just because it's "part of the experience" of senior year. Skip your last homecoming if you don't want to go. Skip your last anything if you don't want to go because it may be senior year but it's still your life. Do the things you want to do. You'll be glad because they make the year a little bit better. Anything to make senior year easier for you is what you should do.

Don't skip school though, you'll miss a lot more than you think. It may feel great to just not go, but you should go. You need to do well academically your senior year for your future and to graduate. It's not fun, especially if you got stuck with a full schedule as a senior, but go to school and pay attention in class.

You may not enjoy academics, but learning more in life is an important thing and if you actually pay enough attention in school you can learn loads of information. There's a lot that teachers don't teach in class, but class can teach you life skills. You can learn material and people in school.

Take from those around constantly to learn how to deal with people and how to see the world in a way you never have before. It's hard to do, but it makes senior year worth at least something.

Even if you don't do anything I've mentioned thus far, please don't give up. Fight the urge to just give up because I can assure you the wait for high school's end is worth it. You'll move on to much greater things than sitting at a desk all day scribbling notes down that you'll never look at.

College will come and you'll love it. You'll finally know where you belong and school won't be boring. Your classes are in your hands to do with them as you want and your free time is yours. You get to be the adult you've waited to be.

You'll explore who you are and meet the people you'll befriend for life. Just know that the struggle is real to get through senior year but take it from me, you'll survive and get to live the life you always dreamed of.
