To the shock and dismay of many people I really enjoyed my 4 years in high school. I made friends who I can surely say will be my friends for the rest of my life and I learned many life lessons that I will forever carry with me. But If I could change anything it would be in my senior year of high school. Towards the end of senior year I began to get lazy and slacked in my college process.
Although I successfully made it to college, because of minor mistakes I didn't allow myself as many opportunities as I could have. I could've certainly applied to more universities or at least looked into more options. My advice to students who are in high school right now would be to take senior year and the college process very seriously. Many people joke about senioritis, but this joke is in fact a truly serious matter. Colleges still look at your senior year transcripts and can use these final grades to determine your entry. If I could've put more efforts into my senior year I'm sure things would've hashed out a bit differently for me.
