Monomoy WritesIntroductionSo, you’ve made it to senior year—congrats! You’re this close to freedom, but first, there’s a gauntlet of deadlines, decisions, and drama to dodge. Here’s some real talk to help you through it all.
📚 "Do I really need to keep my grades up?"Yep. Colleges do look at your final transcript. You don’t want to risk an awkward “Actually, never mind” email from your dream school. Besides, future-you will thank you when you don’t have to retake Algebra II in summer classes.
Pro tip: Find one teacher who genuinely likes you. Their recommendation could be your golden ticket.
💰 "How do I survive college apps without losing my mind (or my wallet)?"Deadlines are not suggestions, and essay word counts are not a challenge to break. Be real, be you, and for the love of all things holy, have someone proofread.
Scholarships: There’s free money out there. Apply for everything, even the weird ones. “Left-Handed Duck Collectors’ Grant” might just cover your books.
🧠 "Senioritis is hitting hard. Help?"It’s real. It’s relentless. But stay sharp—coasting can cost you. Save your mental health and your GPA by keeping a schedule.
Hack: Reward yourself after assignments. Essay done? Netflix. Math homework finished? Nap. Motivation, unlocked.
💙 "Can we get sentimental for a sec?"Yes, and we should. This is your last lap. Go to that game. Take that goofy group pic. Sign yearbooks with more than “HAGS” (seriously, write something). You’ll miss it more than you think.
Conclusion
