First day of senior year! (For the uneducated…it’s a Heathers reference). The last year of high school has arrived; the last year of your childhood has arrived.
Adulthood will be knocking on your door in a couple of months. We’ve learned and mastered the art of being That Girl as just measly high school students, and although being a senior is still technically deemed as “in high school,” you’ve entered a new era, unlocked a new stage. You’re now at the top of the hierarchy, and you’ve got to keep your That Girl persona with you as you continue climbing. Here’s how:
APPEARANCES
I can not stress enough how there cannot and will never be one day where you come to school looking A HOT MESS. Whether or not you are a uniform school, we need to look amazing at exactly all times. We’re seniors now…what kind of example will you set walking in looking like you just woke up. And trust me, there are so many ways to spice up your school lewk.
Beat & Clear
Our face needs to be beat, and our skin needs to be clear. Okayyy, so that might be a little overachieving, but the main focus is that we have a good skincare routine and that if we are a makeup fanatic; we keep it simple but cute. Chapstick and gloss are a huge must, along with mascara and/or lashes. Don’t overdo it, though, or your makeup will be sweating off.
Accessories
For some odd reason, you losers don’t know how to accessorize. It’s truly not a hard process, hun–I promise. Silver on silver, gold on gold. Rings, necklaces, earrings, hair pins, and bracelets can do wonders!! Always accessorize, belts come in handy too. Layering items. At this point, I’m convinced that you all are just lazy and That Girl is not lazy!!!
Now that we look good, it’s time to do good…in our classes, a concept that many of you are foreign to. But hun, it’s time to buckle up because That Girl does not fail…(most times).
“THAT GIRL” ACADEMICS
The Boring stuff
Okay, time to really buckle down so that we can start having actual fun. Let’s get all the boring stuff out the way. Meeting with the counselor? Scheduled. Common App? Downloaded. Credits? Acquired. Service hours? Turned in! College Essay? Written. Letter of recommendation? Got it! Let’s get this done and then some, and whatever schools or trades that have requirements, get it done. Because those things are just so useless? Okay well obvi they’re not but they are jamming our senior year.
School Supplies
This is the one year that you don’t need aesthetic school supplies. This is a “work, work, work, save, save, save” type of year. So let’s make sure we keep it that way. As seniors, the supplies no longer matter; the work does, and no–it never mattered before.
Okay now that we’ve established that we have a senior checklist, which should be checked because That Girl never falls behind, we will be the smart , pretty seniors who the underclassmen aspire to be.
Notably you’re not a successful senior if you don’t show some school spirit.
YOUR CLASS
Class Events
How can you claim to be That Girl and never go to one of your class sponsored events? You can’t. Support all class events, vote for your themes, and be sure to be involved–always. And always promote these activities. There’s a class event? That Girl is there. There should never be a moment you aren’t. They’re selling snacks? That girl is buying. Don’t have a job? Go get one, hun.
Graduation
There is no way you can be That Girl and not graduate. Babes, that was the point of the other years. Graduating on time is the clear goal, so strive for it. If we have to extend to a summer graduation, best believe That Girl will. All I know is that we are getting that diploma, hunny, in 2024.
Because we are “that girl” and we will be a successful senior.
LOVE LIFE , LOVE ME ~ That Girl
