Entry Five: Have a good group of Friends

A good group of friends can get you through anything. They could make a good study group, or they're available when you need to vent if you're stressed out. They can tell when you need a break or when you need a minute to yourself.These people are going to be your key to survival. They can help get you through anything, and they will be there at your commencement. A good group of friends will get you to your graduation cheering you on.

Entry Four: Study

 

Study! I think this part is self explanatory. To survive your senior year just stay on top of your game. Do your assignments on time to avoid getting trapped in a never ending cycle of homework. You do not want to feel trapped under all of your homework and have no time to do anything else. This would just lead to unnecessary stress that you don't want to feel in your final semester. Your final semester should be a good one.

Entry Three: Go to Class!

Life is a lot easier if you go to class. I don't care if there is no attendance policy, you're a senior now. You are most likely in all upper level courses, that means upper level course work. Whether the teacher cares if you're there or not you should go. The material is a lot easier to understand if you're there and paying attention. Sure another hour of sleep would be awesome, but you are not paying thousands of dollars to sleep. Missing one class is like flushing $200 down the toilet.
Sure it's easy to skip class, but the more classes you go to, the more likely you are to pass. Do you really want to fail out of college in your last semester? I don't think you do. So, go to class and take notes. Pay attention and you're one step closer to that diploma. From one student to another, it makes your world a whole lot easier.

Entry Two: The Paper Work

Don't be afraid of the paperwork in the photograph, it's a bit of an exaggeration. However, that's what it will feel like if you wait until the last minute to fill it out, get it out of the way early to avoid that sensation. Most schools require students to fill out an application to graduate. This application is their way of keeping track of the students that are walking, and helping you make sure that you have all of your ducks in a row, so to speak. Filling this paper work out early gives you room to make mistakes. The registrar will help by letting you know how many credit hours that you have to complete, if any.
If you do how credit hours left to complete over the summer then that is more paper work you have to get done early to graduate. You may have to write an appeal to walk at your graduation, or fill out transfer credit papers to take your last few credit hours away from the institution that you are graduating from. Life gets rough if you wait until the last minute to do the paper work. So, please take my advice and get it done ASAP. From one student to another, it will make your final semester a whole lot easier.
