Senior year is a lot harder than I expected it to be, but I will survive it. Between all the new life decisions you will have to make, and all the events you have to attend you feel as if you are constantly behind, and always missing something. Although you will either be done with school forever, or just continue onto your next degree remember to stay current, and make memories. You only graduate once, and you will be one degree hotter when you finish. Here are some of my favorite things that are helping me survive this crazy journey.
1. A Planner
A planner helps you stay organized and grounded. It help keeps track of all the assignments that pop up, and helps keep track of all of the crazy events you want to participate in. I love my Happy Planner because I can add pages and change the cover. I also love using my planners as scrapbooks too to remember all the craziness later.
2. Notebooks
I love using Rae Dunn notebooks, not only does it make for a great Instagram picture, but it also has awesome paper. It can make you want to take notes when it looks cute. Pair this with some colored pens and you look like you are so put together even though you are far from it.
3. Flair Pens
These by far are the best pens. Not only do they come in so many colors, but they also write so smooth. When you have to write pages of notes studying to finish strong, these are the best pens to use.
4. Business Smart Clothes
During senior year you will most likely have to go on interviews, go to job sites, and give presentations. Part of getting the job, is looking the part. Some suggestion from me for business clothes are from Loft, J Crew, and Dress Barn.
5. A Sturdy Bag
The last thing you want to happen is for all your research projects you spent $15 dollars to print, and 50 hours to write and format fall into a puddle of water on the ground. Get a good bag. It is worth the splurge.
6. Spotify
Spotify is $5 a month for unlimited music. It will help you stay sane and study better. It is worth it.
8. Study Guides
If you are going to grad school, or need to pass licensing tests study guides will be your best friend. Not only do they help you pass, but they help you realize others have gone before you and survived these horrible state tests.
9. Friends
Friends will help you get through these rough times by showing you how to have fun and making you forget the work for a little bit and help you make memories that will last for a lifetime. Do not forget to hang out and be a human.
10. Support Your Favorite Senior
You all, if you have ever been a senior before show us some love, we need people to love on us and support us.
