Stepping into my senior year of high school, I've reflected and thought about all the change that will be coming in just ten short months. I've decided that I don't want these ten months to fly by without me taking advantage of all the opportunity senior year will bring. Sometimes we get so used to the mundane that we don't stop to smell the roses. School provides a lot of opportunity and fun that we let slip by. But I've made the conscientious decision to not let that happen senior year.

Here are five things to look forward to if you're going into you're senior year, or five things to reflect on from your senior year ;).

1. Pep Rallies

Pep rallies are no longer arenas of screaming teenagers. Pep rallies are now arenas with screaming teenagers with seniority on your side! Although my class is notorious for being the loudest since our freshman year and winning the spirit stick, we can now say that the spirit stick truly BELONGS to us. We can now walk in first without getting mauled by the other 1,000 students trying to get to their seats, and we have the best seats in the house to watch the show.

2. Senior Assassin

This will by far be one of my favorite parts of senior year. Water guns, eavesdropping, and sprinting is just too much for my little mischievous heart to bare. Throw in the fact that the prize is money and I just don't know what to do with myself. Although, I am still debating whether or not I'm ready to see the true colors that senior assassin brings out of people!

3. Senior Parking

This may not seem like a big deal. But having to wait 15 minutes to get out of the parking lot at school and having parents give you death stares when you ask if you can get in front of them in line IS a big deal. Hopefully senior parking will be less chaotic and nerve wrecking, and I can get out of the parking lot in under five minutes!

4. Senior Skip Day

I feel bad for those people who made a pact to not miss one day of school, because you better believe when senior skip day rolls around, I'm gonna be out of there! Oh c'mon! I think that we've earned one day where we all just take a break and go play at Chuck E. Cheese like four year olds. Or for some people stay up the previous night and sleep from 8:20 a.m to 3:05 p.m.

5. Senior Prank

Like I've mentioned before, my inner mischievous spirit is just itching for senior year. The senior prank is the perfect opportunity to unleash all the pranks I have stored in my head from Pinterest. I know that my class will not fail to deliver a prank that will have the teachers and faculty remembering our class for years to come!
