I waited, while others already heard from their school early. But I decided waiting for the mailman daily wouldn t do me any good but make me more nervous and made better use of my time. By the time acceptance letters roll around, seniors usually give up volunteering and other service activities. However, I have continued with my service because I have met many new people and learned more about others at the same time. I would like to see more people volunteer their senior year, but it s difficult because there is no academic purpose to volunteer anymore.
Procrastination is a common thing among seniors as well as slacking off.
From my experience, slacking off was bad for me because I did nothing except come home, go online or watch television. My grade in physics dropped, and I decided it was time I get my butt off the couch and start working. It s also important to take the time to have fun and spend time with your friends before you part your ways. And, that fact that I ve decided to major in pre-med scares me even more. But I will remain optimistic and enjoy the time I have left.
