Senior Year Costs

Trying to get ready for college is very hard.


You have to know what college you want to attend and more likely what you are interested in, like specific classes.


After you have all that done figured out you will want to start applying for financial aid. Examples of financial aid would be FASFA, loans, grants, and scholarships.


You have to be prepared for what the future holds, some of us may get rejected and some of us may get lucky.


It’s a big challenge, and for me it was very stressful. You have to turn in all of the scholarships and their requirements by the deadline. My experience of applying for college and all the financial aid forms was very difficult and it stressed me out bad!


Your senior year is what hits you the hardest, for example dealing with money and credit cards, and there is so much that you have to purchase. For example it was time for me to purchase my cap and gown and as I went through it the cheapest packet was $140, and the most expensive was $400.


Then of course you have your senior class trip and every one wants to attend that! All of this takes money, and in my opinion they should let you know as a junior to start saving up because your senior year is going to be very expensive.
