Senior year is the last year of high school, and it’s important that you pass all your classes. Having senioritis makes this hard and almost impossible but there are ways to get through it. The best thing that you can do is get a good night sleep. Many people have trouble getting ready for school and paying attention is your first classes. Being behind in a class just makes things harder.

Senior year is important and giving up makes things difficult for your future. Senioritis is a disease that attacks people at the most influential time in their lives and having helpful tips makes things easier. Refer to these tips every day and your senior year will be your best year yet.
