With graduation quickly approaching Seniors are asking themselves, what's next? Luckily there are lots of items to be done to prepare for the next few months. Preparing as much as you can will help keep you from being overwhelmed when May hits.

Planning your senior trip should be at the top of your to-do list. With summer vacations spots filling up fast and money to be saved, it is important to plan it sooner rather than later! So, text all your friends brainstorm some ideas, and check out our article How To Plan Your Senior Trip. Follow the steps listed and you'll be laying on the beach enjoying that sunny weather in no time!

Graduation parties are also very big priorities for some of the Seniors. Getting to party it up with your closest friends and family is the best way to kick off your entrance into the real world. This is a good opportunity to get some money saved for a senior trip or just to add to your college fund. Throwing some delicious food together, some yard games like cornhole, and some good music could make for a great grad party.

Commitment.. that's a lot. But you have to decide. Making the final decision on your college is vital in the next few months. Getting everything in order from meal plans to financial aid will relieve a lot of your stress in the future. Remember that this part is supposed to be fun so let yourself get excited!

Meeting new people can be the most exciting part of the college experience. Colleges offer Facebook and Instagram pages for incoming freshmen to interact on. My College Roomie can also help alleviate the stress of finding a roommate or friends for the fall. A strategic questionnaire and matching system can definitely help the process go smoothly.
