Baylee Comer Co-Editor-in-Chief
Senior year can be equally the most trying and wearisome year of high school, but senior year can be one of the most enjoyable years of an educational career. For any freshman, sophomore or junior wondering how to survive his or her senior year, the Class of 2020 put together some of the top tips to surviving the last year (or even the rest of high school).
Tip #1: Prepare to miss it. I would say the one thing I wish I knew before my senior year was how much I would miss it. I remember going to school one Friday and then the following Monday never being able to come back again. Take advantage of it while you can.” - Dakota Browning

will miss
As school is officially almost over for this year, seniors are starting to reminisce about their past experiences in Scottsburg High School. While the different memories drag on from classrooms to the Commons, each senior shares one thing in common: missing their peers/friends and teachers/staff. The laughter and cries of joy will forever be heard echoing through the halls of SHS. 8

Something I wish I knew before my senior year would be to know how fast things can change. You start to grow up and find out what you want to do in your life. And it can honestly be stressful, and you can always change your mind. And to just know that there are so many options out in the world, and just not what you thought you wanted to do when you were a freshman.” - Sydney Middleton
Tip #3: Focus on it.
Tip #4: Work hard for it. Tip #6: Appreciate it. ...Don’t slack off. Most people don’t understand how far something such as a high school diploma can take you in life. Everybody thinks if you don’t go to college you ain’t going to be successful. I had started to work over Coronacation and I’m already making more than I could ever [think] of making at this age. Trust the process and believe in yourself and you will be successful in life.” - Dakota Browning
Tip #5: Listen to it. I think just staying driven and focused on what your plans are, [or developing your plans]. Always work towards a certain goal throughout your senior year to prepare for your young adult life.” - Ally Hall
Definitely listen to your teachers, they know more than what you think they know. They give the best advice you can think of!” - Sydney Middleton
A lot of my senior year, I was complaining and expressing my excitement to graduate. Unfortunately, I regret ever making those statements because of COVID-19...If you get the chance to experience your last high school memories, cherish them and never take these moments for granted.” - Ally Hall
Your senior year is the most important, so live it up. Go to as many games as possible, because it will be those last games you get to go to as a high school student.” - Ally Hall

Clint Jones “One place that holds a lot of memories would be Ms. Couch’s French classroom. It was one of the craziest and funnest classes I’ve ever taken, and it holds a lot of memories for me.”
“I don’t have a particular favorite memory, but if I had to pick something, it would be deciding to do high school cheer. Through the sport, I have met some of my best friends and people I probably wouldn’t be friends with without cheer. Additionally, I have learned many valuable lessons, self-discipline, and leadership skills through my experiences.”
Brantley Deaton “I’m going to miss the environment. Most schools have a lot of bad traits, but SHS was very friendly for the most part. My favorite memory from high school would definitely be flipping Scottsburg basketball around. We went from a team that could barely find a win to a team that always had a winning record.”
Cynthia Miller “My favorite memory from my high school years has to be the New Tech service days with my old homeroom teacher and former principal, Mr. J.”
