There’s so much to look forward to during your senior year of college — graduation, finishing all your majors, minors and certificates — the list goes on and on! However, as exciting as senior year is, you’re still tired and stressed out and just want to be done with Red Bull-fueled all-nighters, and motivation levels are plummeting as more work piles up. It’s hard to get working again, but it’s necessary to power through and finish off your college career strong, and these are some tips that could help you out.

1. Get organized

As simple as it may seem, organizing your things can make your life seem easier and lift a weight off your shoulders. Even if it’s just a few binders in your backpack, those binder tabs make a huge difference.

2. Remember why you’re here

Amidst all the stress, anxiety and schoolwork, you came to college for a reason. Your degree is so close, and the last stretch is going to be the hardest but so worth it once you walk across that stage and get your diploma.

3. Use your support system

Your fellow seniors are going through this, too, so there’s nobody else who will understand it better. Remember to support your friends, too — like I said, they’re also dealing with senioritis. 

As senior year continues on, don’t forget to just live in the moment and enjoy every moment as it passes. Make memories and have fun, senior collegiettes!
