Video: 3 Tips to Avoid Senioritis

Justin shares three simple tips that will help you avoid senioritis. Motivation gets you to graduation!

Senior year is arguably one of the best (if not the best!) years of high school. However, senioritis is a real thing for a lot of students. Justin offers three simple tips to keep you motivated while still having fun as a big, bad senior. Check out the video below!

1. Don’t let yourself get distracted

Finish up your homework and studying as soon as you get home from school. Instead of distracting yourself with Netflix, social media, or a long nap, utilize the motivation you have from earlier in the day so you can have the evening to yourself.

2. Join a study group

Justin has a group of friends who do homework, studying, and group study via Skype. It’s a good mix between being social and productive. Surround yourself with people who motivate you to be better in school!

3. Don’t be afraid to take a break

It is super easy to get burned out your senior year. If you’re studying for a test and start to get overwhelmed, take a break and clear your head. You want to make sure you have a good balance between school and life. It will make you much happier if you have both as opposed to one!

CollegeXpress has helped me find scholarships to apply for and look into more colleges. While there are many websites similar to CollegeXpress, every website is different, and I've found a lot of good insight on this website. Receiving emails from CollegeXpress about scholarships is extremely useful, and getting insight about colleges near, far, and anywhere in between helps me narrow down my choices to what I want, which is also super helpful. The articles are always really good reads, and I can't stress enough how helpful this website has been to me. Anything related to college is beneficial to me as a senior, and I have learned lots of useful things to help me on my college journey this year.

I just discovered your site and LOVE it—fun, interesting, full of incredible information you can’t find anywhere else, and a godsend for those of us in the college counseling business. I am a fan!

CollegeXpress has helped me tremendously in my college search in narrowing down the schools I’m interested in. Using the college search tool, I was able to narrow down my choices to schools that matched what I was looking for. I also used CollegeXpress for their scholarship search, which helped me find scholarships that I meet the requirements of.

I never would have found the college I plan on attending without CollegeXpress! I've always been a person of ambition and have been dreaming of studying and working on my passion for law, legal studies, and political science. Washington College is where I plan on pursuing my career. My journey with my education has been difficult, and oftentimes, I was told I would never amount to much, but now I'm dual enrolled at Caroll Community College and have had experience in the fields I am dedicated to. Without the help of CollegeXpress (even in its early days), I would never have found Washington College and the information I need to apply and become a part of their community.

CollegeXpress has helped me in many ways. For one, online searches are more organized and refined by filtering scholarships through by my personal and academic interests. Due to this, it has made searching for colleges and scholarships significantly less stressful. As a student, life can already get stressful pretty quickly. For me, it’s been helpful to utilize CollegeXpress since it keeps all of my searches and likes together, so I don’t have to branch out on multiple websites just to explore scholarship options.
