Consequences for Senioritis




Senioritis might be fun to some teens who think they got everything planned out for them, but as we all know, in reality, there are always consequences for the wrong actions we choose to do. Some consequences seniors have to face are most importantly not graduating with a high school diploma which equals to a high school dropout. Some other consequences are not being able to get good paid jobs in the future, or being accepted into great succeeding colleges (collegeboard). Not only does senioritis jeopardize your chances for success later on in college, it can also affect your grades and college admission officers pay close attention to your performance senior year (collegeboard). Another important thing to remember is that once you apply for a college, the college has the right to deny you at anytime for your performance in school (collegeboard). Your senior year is the most important year out of your high school years because that’s when colleges take a deeper look on your grades and SAT scores as well (collegeboard). A lot of seniors have the mentality that once they are accepted into the college of their choice they will automatically get in, but in reality, once grades drop, the college will soon drop you too (collegeboard). Basically when any senior chooses not to do the work their senior year and procrastinates all the time, their chances are very high at looking at a not promising future. There are always ways to prevent becoming a senioritis and overlook this concept. The best way is to always stay focused and determined about what your goals are (collegeboard). Playing sports in school or being involved with after school opportunities is always the best thing to do, also a great internships or career-focused job opportunity can also motivate you to stay on top of what your trying to pursue after high school (collegeboard). Look at other seniors who tend to slack off and do the total opposite. Being focused on school and after school activities is always the best strategy to overlook becoming a senioritis.
