As university students, we remember what our final year of high school was like. There was so much to think about regarding our future, but there was also a lot of pressure to make memories with our high school friends. It can be overwhelming!
That's why we've compiled a list of tips of how to be successful in school while enjoying your senior year and preparing for what comes next.
We have a few final pieces of advice. Whether it's a unit test or a major exam, studying is, and will continue to be, a big part of your life as a student. So check out our tips for preparing for tests and exams.
