Fourth Quarter is full of AP Exams, Finals, College Decision deadlines, Setting up future college plans, Prom, and the rising fever of Senioritis. Most seniors that are taking AP classes are being challenged at a college level in difficult classes, but seniors are slacking off. They take these classes to tell colleges that they are still pushing themselves, but by the time they get acceptances, they tend to stop pushing themselves. With seniors taking off these past months due to senioritis, they are cramming to learn all the knowledge before the AP Exam to attempt to get college credit.
Most exams take place mid May, the same time as Prom. Prom is a stressful and expensive time. Tickets are $55 each, with no discount if you have a date. Dresses range from $100 to $400, without any accessories. Tux’s usually $100 to $200. Then Corsages and boutonnieres range from $30 to $50. Then there is dinner and a party bus or limo. During this time, seniors are also paying senior dues, buying yearbooks, and buying tickets for all-night-grad party. Being a senior is expensive. Lets not forget about the stress of prom dates and actually finding a dress or tux.
Deciding on a college is never easy. Seniors need to get over being rejected from schools and pick a school that they will live at for the next four years? That’s not an easy choice. Some ways to decide a college is to visit, see if the campus and the people are a right fit for you. If you can’t visit, another way is to compare the schools, rating them by housing, cost, social life, degrees, academic prestige, extracurriculars, and anything else important to you, then the one with the highest ranking at the end is the best fit.
For Seniors with Senioritis, two months left. We can do this.
