I can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm going to be a senior. Like all of us basically only had 1 full year of school and now suddenly we're seniors that's so depressing we basically didn't even live our teenage years
on the goodbye ritual, i’m doing a senior year scrapbook!! i’ll get to commemorate all of my “lasts” and the people that have had a great impact on my life. i love that you included that because i think it’s so important. thank you for this video, i’m starting school next week and i’m lowkey sad and excited so your advice made me feel better about my life
Hi!!! Did you know going into college apps what major you wanted to do?? I am not sure what the best route may be for researching colleges and choosing which ones I would like to apply to if I don't know what field I want to study yet…any tips?
gurl ur glowing!! love ur necklace and thanks for this video!! <3
i start senior year in 2 days and i’m having an existential crisis 🙂
I’m a senior and I honestly feel like I’m so ahead of the game and I feel like it’s a bad thing because I started applying to a couple colleges that were open during the summer and I actually got accepted into one of them and I really like the college and they gave me a scholarship but now I feel like I’m so ahead and feel like I’m doing something wrong like I’m still applying to other colleges just in case but I feel almost bad that I’m ahead of my planning any advice ??
1 year too late
when your email already belongs to the student search service-
I can't believe I'm part of the senior group you are talking to, it feels like yesterday when I was a freshman watching people start college and talk to the new senior class. I keep seeing all these comments from people talking about being seniors and it's weird to think they are the same age as me.
I’m glad i’m not the only one who has a panic attack every time they think about how this is senior year
I'm just sipping my air and watching all you people suffer in college or highschool
i wish i have seeen this video way sooner smh
legit just got an email from LSU.
do you think it's ok if I only apply to 3 schools if they're all target schools, and I really love one? I know I'll only go to a state school so my options are very limited in the first place.
Thanks for your suggestions~ Very useful
Another recommendation to underclassmen, APs are super great and all, but they can be stressful and the exams are VERY difficult. Be mentally prepared for these classes and possible disappointments, cuz I had a fair share of that.
Don't worry we can use caption)
Thank you so much I'm a senior this year and I'm getting so stressed out about this kind of stuff so this was really helpful!
No entiendo ni madres pero helou
Here in swansea wales most comprehensive schools help the children with collage as here they only 16 when they start in September
14:54 I graduated over 3 months ago and I'm still not 18.
Hi
yall applying to 8 to 12 schools?!?!?!?!?@? im applying to 4 with 2 as second choices?
senior year in america sounds like a dream to me. where i come from, and in many european countries we have the final exam (like the sat) right at the end of senior year, and we only get one chance at it, otherwise colleges won't even look at us anymore. this kind of schooling system likes to discourage students form applying to universities abroad, where u need to constantly write letters and essays and prepare throughout your senior year. its extremely hard to do all of that AND prepare for your hardest exam yet at the same time. i dont mean to say that americans have it easier, ive never had that highschool experience, but it would be nice to have a system that doesnt make your senior year so freaking stressful.
1Mil!! cheers to more days of eating breakfast while listening to Jasmine’s enlightening advice on school and life
From Class of 2020,make sure you guys enjoy senior year.Do stuff with your class.I fully regret on not doing that.Get to make friends.I remember that last day on not saying goodbye to anyone or having a graduation.It was the last day I remember
Thank youu this helps me alot!<33
The way she just went straight to the point was really appreciated.
Man already two months of senior year have gone by for me, where is time going. But I'm thankful everything has returned to campus for my case.
