Advice from Seniors by Andre R.K.
In this article there is advice from various seniors this year, so underclassmen: listen up. Advice from these seniors can make a world of difference and can really help you out in the long run, so make sure to pay attention.
Starting off with more academic advice, Erica Lloyd states, “I know you want to have fun, but please for the love of God put as much effort as you can in now so you are not stuck catching up and with a bad GPA. Never be afraid to ask for help, either with school work or mental health.” They continue on to explain that making sure you ask for help is extremely crucial, even if you are embarrassed; it’s better to ask than not. They said that they experienced firsthand what happens when you don’t ask for help.
Next with more academic advice is Xander Verhelst. He states: “Focus on school and get your work done or else it piles up.” Xander noted that staying on top of school work is essential to getting good grades, or you will get late work marked down and lose feasible points.
Turning into more friend-related advice, we have Nathan Schafer, who states: “Find a group of friends that you are really close with, avoid drama, don’t take things too seriously, and look at things with a wider scope.” He says that getting mad at little inconveniences is a waste of time and not worth the stress or anxiety. When talking about “looking at things with a wider scope” Schafer says that looking at things with a bigger picture and looking at things overall is more beneficial. It provides a better outlook on life and school.
Now we have Erin Moerler, who says, “Cherish the moments you have with friends, and the time you have because it will be over soon.” She explains that spending time with friends and cherishing those moments is key, without those cherished moments you will feel as if you did nothing in high school. Remembering these moments are so important because before you know it senior year rolls around, then your graduate, and all your high school friends are gone.
Overall seniors this year suggest that you cherish the time you have, and focus on school work as much as you can.
