Senior Year Essay

I do not think senior year has been turning out like I have always thought of it as going. I have always thought of my senior year being the easiest and most fun year of high school. Yes, I have had fun, but it has not been easy. I have been put through challenges already that I know will prepare me better for college.

Seniors have a tendency of taking their last year of high school for granted. They do not realize that the relaxed classes and fun filled weekends with their best friends will all soon come to a devastating end. They have applied for college, bought miniature refrigerators, and sent in their housing applications, but none of them have really thought about college in the way that they should. When asked about college most high school seniors image the huge parties, attractive people, and freedom; however, college is much more than that and, in a way, much less. College and high school are completely different when it comes to a student’s actual lifestyle, but they have many of the same traits that most high school seniors do not see coming.

Junior year. My junior year I realized things about myself that I hadn’t previously known. Things I’ve never done before and things people thought I couldn’t do. Situations I thought I wouldn’t be in and there I was. Junior year, I did it.

Your senior year of high school seems like the most stressful year of them all. In my senior year my goal is to be accepted into all of the colleges I would like to apply to. I would like to apply to five schools currently. Another goal I have is to work for higher grades this year. By managing sports, work, and school I will become better at time management. Senior year should be stressful, but also fun. My goal is to enjoy my last year with all of the friends I made,

Fresh from Truman, just starting out, I must admit I was at a loss on what to do with my Biology studies. Furthermore, in this economy I had doubts as to whether I could obtain a job lucrative enough to support myself with the degree once I received it. This is why, heartbroken and disappointed as I was to have learned that I had not received my degree, I consciously put it off for a while until I figured out exactly what I wanted to do. It turned out that what I learned majoring in Biology not only gave me the tools to save my own life but helped me to do what I believe I was put on this earth to do.

The results from this study verify the ‘Freshman Fifteen’ by demonstrating that freshmen at Cornell University, who were enrolled in introductory courses in Nutrition and in Human Development, experienced significant weight gain during the first 3 months of college. The gain in weight during the first 12 weeks of the semester was 1.9kg or 158.3 g/week. This amount of weight is more than double of that observed by Hovel et al10 (76.57 g/week) and more than that recorded by Matvienko et al12 (103.85g/week in their untreated control group).

Losing friends, meeting new people, first job, first car, boyfriend, getting my license. Throughout the last four years of high school I’ve experienced a lot of new things and learned a lot on the way. I remember walking into school on the first day of freshman year; I was thinking that these are going to be a very long couple of years. I was wrong; these past four years have gone by so fast, so I guess my dad was right when he said they’d fly by.

The new year has arrived and seniors have started their final year of high school. This means applying for college, considering scholarships, and planning for the future has begun. These three things alone have caused stress to many seniors.

Senior year came on much faster than expected. One day I’m the freshman trying to find where the Geography classroom was and the next, I’m the senior helping the new freshmen find their classes. They tell you these four years would fly, but until you experience it yourself, you won't believe how fast they actually go. So much changes in these four years and if you blink, you just might miss it.

Being the only one in my immediate family to go to a four year college is a little intimidating. Your parents expect you to be better than them, to be an inspiration for your siblings, and to be someone they are proud to call their sister, daughter, granddaughter, or even cousin.

Along with making that choice in the future, I have to decide what I want to do with my life. Starting freshman year has been frightening because it means the next few years can determine the rest of my life. After high school, my dream would

Modern life is full of demands, frustrations, hassles, and deadlines. Everyone experiences stress as it is a natural part of human life. Our bodies have a built mechanism for responding to stress. However, during a certain period of time, people tend to face more stress than usual. One of such periods is college life. It can be very stressful for some people, especially for those who are not used to carrying out with so many responsibilities. Students spend most of their time balancing classes, projects, tests, final exams, personal life, and work; that is enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed. This stress can cause multiples problems, not just emotional, but physicals as well.

It was 2016, and I was finally a senior in high school. Being a senior in high school was something that I had dreamed of since my early middle school days, and at last, I was there. It was the last year in one of my least favorite environments, and I couldn’t wait to graduate and move away from the only place I had ever known. I had lived in the same town for seventeen years, and I had gone to the same school with the same people for thirteen years. I was looking forward to something new in my life. I was most excited for my senior year because it was the year that I was going to choose where I wanted to move away to and what school I wanted to spend the next four years of my life at. As the year moved along, I slowly realized that I wasn’t moving away and that I’d be staying home to attend college, which was one of the most difficult decisions that I ever had to make.

I have never traveled outside of the United States and I believe traveling abroad to England would be a great experience for me. I am a declared psychology major (I want to pursue a career in clinical psychology) and I believe I would get a lot out of this program. If I get accepted into this program I would have the chance to experience a different culture, while getting closer to achieving the requirements for my major. I would also have the opportunity to see how others behaviors differ from the behaviors we show here in the United States. Many of our ancestors emigrated from the United Kingdom to North America, so I would like to see how our behaviors, attitudes and emotions have changed over time after separating. Another reason that
