As the semester is winding down, there are many things that need to be done before the semester can officially be over. Here are some of the most important things to consider, in the last few weeks of school:
Grades. Grades become a big deal at the end of a semester. People start realizing how much they should have gone to class, or how much more they should have studied for an exam. However, the end of the semester is still a good time to save your grades in classes. You can study hard for finals and finish off those projects strong, to help improve your grades.
Goodbyes. Unfortunately, all our favorite seniors will not be here after these next few weeks. That means losing some of our best friends, and some of the best memories we've had here at school. So take the time to say your goodbyes fully to the people you love, who you will miss so dearly next year. Also, there are a lot of us that won't be living in our particular house next year, so this will be the last semester living in, so you must cherish the last few weeks that you have.
Packing. The last few weeks are spent packing stuff up to take home with you. Maybe your parents visit a few weeks before, and begin taking some of your things home. Then you are left to pack up the rest of all your clothes and memories into boxes to move out. The worst part is when your room is all packed up and your room looks so bare, with nothing in it.
Whenever a semester is coming to an end, it is bittersweet. I know that we all love not doing homework, and no studying for a while. However, it's things like Grand Prix, The Cactus, late night movies, and laughing until we cry, that we will miss. So take in these last weeks and make them the very best!
