High School Seniors it's decision time!

Some people think they can wait until the last minute of high school to decide on their future. The problem is we're talking about reality and a person shouldn't ever make a last second decision when talking about their future. Becoming a high school senior is basically the time when reality truly sets in. It's the time when a person must decide to on their future. Sure there are plenty of other people who plan things out and just map out a plan for their future. On the other hand if you're anything like me or like I would say around my friends a human being you procrastinate about things. Sometimes you put the most important things in your life on hold to take care of the unimportant things in our lives. For instance sometimes we have an important essay or research paper to write but we put it on hold to talk to our friends about our teenage drama or just the drama that we're going through period whether it's with our parents or are friends or family members. We would rather go out and hangout them take care of the necessary things in our lives which leads us to rush to do the important things in our lives at the last minute. In one example my ex girlfriend waited until mid February to apply to a school she had set her heart on for years however she procrastinated. She chose to put the unimportant things first like going out and party just to have a good time and going on road trips just because she wanted to getaway for a weekend or two. Her goal originally was to apply to school in august the beginning of the school year but she allowed nonsense to clout her mind. With her waiting too long to apply she went on the schools waiting list hopeful her G.P.A. would be enough along with her test scores to get her into school by the next fall semester. Instead she stayed on the waiting list nearly a year forced to go to a community college for that year then she had to transfer to the school of her dreams. The point of this story is not to wait too long to take care of the important things. Homework get it done as soon as possible. If you know you have a quiz or exam coming up then study now instead of waiting until the last moment. As far as your senior year sure you love your friends and some of them love you back however they're not going to save you and pay your bills. You have to do that. Therefore you have to make decisions on time and not wait until the last minute. If you're applying to schools now or you're just taking your SAT or ACT then you've waited too long. I wish you luck and I hope the best for you but know this once your high school senior year begins so does your future. It's the year you make the tough decisions that will steer your life in the direction you want to be in. Don't take your senior year for granted because your future is counting on you to not to take it for granted.
