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 helped me narrow my school choices down from 10 schools to four and then two. It also gave me information on a school I had never heard about or thought about attending until now, which is the school I will be attending in the fall. I am thankful for CollegeXpress and its helpful tools.

CollegeXpress has provided me with tips that were for college students, but as a high school junior, they were still very useful. Not only that, it also gave me an idea of what to expect when it comes to going to college or already being in college. I want to say thank you to CollegeXpress, and I hope you continue the wonderful tips until I hopefully get into college and throughout my college journey.

I've used CollegeXpress quite a bit as a senior, particularly for colleges and scholarships, so it's been a very big asset in that respect! I would recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a college education, especially seniors! This scholarship will help me achieve my goals in ways I couldn't have before, and I know that there are opportunities like that for everyone on the website and in the magazines!

CollegeXpress has helped me find scholarships for the colleges I applied to. It was very hard for me to find scholarships in the beginning that I was qualified for. My teachers recommended this website to find some, and not only did I find some scholarships but I also got to look into some schools I hadn’t heard of before. I was very happy to have discovered this website, especially with the coronavirus spreading all over as I can’t really go visit many colleges.
