High School Senior List of To-Dos

Posted by Kellie Hayden Aug 17, 2008

If you have a senior in high school, like millions of parents across this nation, it may be like pulling teeth to get your child to complete almost any task other than texting or hanging out. They are on the downhill slide of their high school career and want to slide effortlessly to the end.

High School Senior Year is Expensive

The problem is that their to-do list is longer than it has ever been, and they need to work a little harder to get it all done right. Hopefully your teen has a part-time job because this is going to be a very costly year.

College Bound Students Should Be Busy

For the college bound student, they need to prepare and take either the ACT or the SAT. Not only does it cost money to take the test, (most take them multiple times) they should prepare for them using books or taking special classes. If a student has yet to take the test one time, he or she needs to sign up quickly.

In addition, many parents took their children all over the nation looking at colleges last spring and this summer. Hopefully, your child has chosen a few in which he or she intends to send an application. These now can be completed online. Make sure that you and your child know the deadlines set by each college to turn in the applications.

So, if you have a senior student in your household, drag them off the couch and put them to work now. It is even harder to move them in the spring.
