Senior To Do List

By: Asia Ali

Attention seniors, it’s the beginning of the year and there are many things to do and to get done.  It’s the last year and time to prepare for life after high school. With the challenges ahead of us, we need to make this year a lasting impression and give it all we’ve got.  There is a long list of things to accomplish before it becomes too late.  Before you know it, the year will come to an end and you will be off to college.

Here is a list of things to do for seniors:

•    Sign up for the ACT’s or the SAT’s-Talk to your counselor about which date is best for you.  Also, ACT and SAT packets are located in the counseling office. Register for the ACT’s online at www.actstudent.org
•    Apply for scholarships.  It’s free money for college so why not?  For information about scholarships, talk to you counselor or visit the North Star scholarship website at http://isite.lps.org/rboyle/scholarship/
•    Get all your college requirements completed. Most colleges have the same requirements but some differ.  Look at the requirements for the college you plan to attend and get them done right away.
•    Apply for the college(s) you want to attend.  The earlier you apply, the better.
•    Get your transcripts, prepare your resume, and get your recommendations. You can get your resume done at www.careercruising.com. User Name: northstar Password: navigators.  You can get your transcripts by the registrar in the attendance office.  Mrs. Jodi Vanek will have these for you.
•    Take the opportunity to visit colleges or attend Lincoln Area College Fair at SCC
•    Get your GoPo hours completed. Students tend to forget about these and don’t graduate on time.  Even if your grade in the class is good, you will not be able to graduate without your volunteer hours completed.
•    Don’t forget senior pictures.  Deadline is October 23rd.
•    Also, you can order your caps and gowns at www.lincolngraduation.com. Balfour will also be at North Star next month.  Check out the announcement add on page 8.

It’s our final year, lets leave with a BANG!
