Having a fun senior year

<p>Hey, so i'm a junior right now. I'm sitting at my desk with my class schedule page on my right, my list of ECs on my left and my life on my conscious. My schoolwork and ECs are extremely time consuming. To the point where I leave my house at 7 for school and get home around 7 every day, sometimes even later (i.e. with sports, some days I get home past midnight). I don't know what to do. I long to go to a school that I will be proud of myself for going to, like Harvard and Wharton. I just feel like I hear everyone saying, "have a fun senior year! That's really important!" but I don't know if I will be having fun if I do all this stuff, studying as long as my eyes will stay open or as long as I can keep myself prying my eyes open trying to force myself to review. Junior year wasn't that tough. I mean, I am happy right now ( i just had my IB tests so I'm full of joy that that and prom setting up [we had to plan it, so work for that has been going on since june of last year] will be all over tomorrow.) I just don't know. Does anyone else know what I'm feeling or has experienced it? I just don't know what to do. Before I get the whole, do what you love, I just want to say, I love my school work ( mostly because of teachers) and I have no problem doing all the ECs I'm doing, but I just don't know if I will be able to have a social life. I mean, I do enjoy doing stuff other than my ECs and my schoolwork, but I just am concerned I won't have any time for friends...and a lover... just kidding. But anyone have any ideas of what I should do? Maybe a way I can be with my friends but still be productive? Like, I am pretty sure I'm gonna make some study groups with my friends and classmates, so I guess that's some time with friends...sort of. I dunno. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. And i'm really sorry about the never ending post. Thanks everyone.</p>

<p>I took on about 6 leadership positions at my school and took 4 aps, the rest honors. I had time to spend with my friends but senior year isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. With the addition of applying to college, you find that you will be more stressed out than you were junior year. But you work with it. Study groups is a good idea, also, the clubs that you are apart of are SUPPOSED to be enjoyable, have fun, and meet people there as well!
It’s all about balance. </p>

<p>also, with really no time left in senior year, I can personally say it wasn’t very fun at all. It’s all worked up to be some great thing. But, college should be.</p>

<p>my senior year is about to end. It was fun at times, but not so fun at others. Its not one big long party like some want you to believe. And senioritis is definitely real lol. I think it basically comes down to what u make it. I decided to be little more loose with my studies and try to have more fun. That worked but still there were those ■■■ times.</p>

<p>my senior year is just about wrapping up now. i didn’t really have loads of fun, because i actually had to bust my a** in school for the first semester, taking 5 AP classes and also maintaining ECs, because i was applying to a lot of competitive colleges. school was basically a living Hell up until March/April and i’m still kind of drained from it… so no matter what i don’t know if i will really describe my senior year as “fun.”</p>

<p>but i’ve already resigned to the fact that this summer + college will completely kick a** compared to anything i’ve done or could possibly do in HS, so i’m not really ‘trying’ to have fun here anymore. what’s the point? i just want to graduate and move on with my life.</p>

<p>

agreed! :).</p>

<p>My last day was today :)</p>

<p>^ ugh lucky! I have two weeks to go!</p>

<p>Senior year sucks. It is the worst year out of all four years literally. If I had to rate each year: 1 being WORST and 4 being BEST, order goes as follows:</p>

<ol>
<li>Senior Year</li>
<li>Sophomore Year</li>
<li>Freshmen Year</li>
<li>Junior Year</li>
</ol>
