Video: 3 Tips to Avoid Senioritis

Justin shares three simple tips that will help you avoid senioritis. Motivation gets you to graduation!

Senior year is arguably one of the best (if not the best!) years of high school. However, senioritis is a real thing for a lot of students. Justin offers three simple tips to keep you motivated while still having fun as a big, bad senior. Check out the video below!

1. Don’t let yourself get distracted

Finish up your homework and studying as soon as you get home from school. Instead of distracting yourself with Netflix, social media, or a long nap, utilize the motivation you have from earlier in the day so you can have the evening to yourself.

2. Join a study group

Justin has a group of friends who do homework, studying, and group study via Skype. It’s a good mix between being social and productive. Surround yourself with people who motivate you to be better in school!

3. Don’t be afraid to take a break

It is super easy to get burned out your senior year. If you’re studying for a test and start to get overwhelmed, take a break and clear your head. You want to make sure you have a good balance between school and life. It will make you much happier if you have both as opposed to one!

My high school counselor introduced me to CollegeXpress freshman year. It has made such a difference in high school, and I plan to continue relying on it in college. CollegeXpress is my go-to because it addresses each aspect of being a student. There are the articles you’d expect regarding college applications and financial aid, but you will also find advice on things like de-stressing and maintaining relationships while balancing a heavy course load. CollegeXpress will also keep you updated on current scholarships through e-mails each Saturday. (They don’t harass you with any product promotion like so many other sites do.) CollegeXpress is a lot like an older sibling who has already conquered the challenges you are facing. Now, they are reaching out a helpful hand. I say take it.

I found CollegeXpress when you partnered with Bold.org for a scholarship. I found your website, put my information in, and got connected. I only wanted to stay in North Carolina [for college] and not move far from home, but you all opened a door up for me. I started researching colleges you suggested for me. On your social media platforms, you also give really good test-taking tips that I used and suggested others to do the same. It helped me a lot on my exams, so thank you.

My mother signed me up for a couple of scholarship contests through CollegeXpress. I was also able to do some research and compare the different schools on my list. I was able to see the graduation rates and different programs that helped me decide on Adelphi University. I will continue looking for some scholarships for my start in September.

I just discovered your site and LOVE it—fun, interesting, full of incredible information you can’t find anywhere else, and a godsend for those of us in the college counseling business. I am a fan!

CollegeXpress gave me options of schools with my major and from there I was able to pick what was most important to me in a school. Everything was so organized that I could see all the information I needed.
