What does your rising senior do to stay motivated (for the pending college app finish line)

At our school there is also a day…the Seniors last day of school…where everyone wears not just their college shirt but also lots of other gear. The girls go all out…hair ties…face stickers…body glitter…shoes in school colors etc…BUT they also wear their school shirts as soon as they are admitted to a school they plan to attend. There is also some controversy about that last day but as a public school, the principals reaction was “They have a right to wear whatever they want that day”
