Senior year of high school already feels extremely short, and no part of it feels shorter than your last month. Even though the days themselves seem to go by slow, the month itself will zoom by before you know it. Since it’s your last real month in this era of your life, you should definitely enjoy it as much as you can.

Strengthen the friendships you want to hang on to.

Once you graduate, you’re not going to see most of your class again. Whether or not this is a good thing is up to you, but if you’re bummed about losing a lot of these people, then make an effort now. You’ll still have your good friends during the summer (and probably beyond), but make some plans to hang out with friends in your classes before it’s too late — if you strengthen the friendship now, you’ll be able to keep in touch after high school.

Visit your favorite teachers.

Take some time to say hello to your old favorite teachers. If you had a great history teacher your sophomore year, drop in and visit a bit. You might also want to visit some of your past elementary or middle school teachers as well — it’s incredibly flattering for a teacher to know that a past student still cares enough to come in, and you’ll notice how much more adult they treat you now.

Take some chances.

Try not to let laziness overcome you — go to a few high school events, such as dances or sports games. Go to as many of the senior events as you can. This is your last month of high school — you might as well get the most out of it.

If there’s a girl or boy you’ve been afraid to ask out, go for it! Chances are you’ll never see him or her again if you don’t, so now’s your chance to try something risky.

Keep an eye on your grades.

Lastly, make sure your grades are steady. Senioritis kicks in hard near the end of high school — ward it off the best you can while still enjoying yourself.

Senior year is a great time, make the most out of your last month.
