<p>Senior:</p>

<p>(in approximate order of importance)

  1. Not completely kill myself/anyone else (first priority)
  2. Get into college!
  3. Finish college apps and not procrastinate too terribly on them, write good essays
  4. Do well in classes/on AP tests
  5. Stay motivated/not get horrible senioritis
  6. Be relatively successful on math team, be a good captain</p>

<p>That’s about it for academic goals … socially, keep in contact with summer friends, be patient with the ones I see every day, be at least somewhat friendly to everyone else.</p>

<p>Senior year goals:
Enjoy my last year of high school, make lifelong memories.</p>
