There are three weeks left of senior year. The last week will be full of activities to wrap up the past high school years, as well as teenage years. This major step can be very intimidating, but exciting, for any and all 2024 seniors. To help prepare for the future of adulthood, seniors should practice good financial management and personal development.
Though it sounds serious and scary, having good financial management skills will forever aid a successful future. Finance is something every upcoming adult should think about, especially those who are planning their future careers. Consider budgeting a good habit every young adult should get into to prevent bad habits from forming. Some may say it is too early to get into financing and budgeting, but in this aspect I would say the sooner the better. You can develop good habits, save money, and even gain money for the future. This can help seniors throughout their close future, whether that be college or a career.
One of the hardest parts of becoming an adult is personal development. After graduating, there will be a lot of change everywhere, especially change within you and your relationships. It is important to start the process of discovering yourself. It will help you connect with new people and keep you close to those you are with now. It might be hard to start this process now, but there are some questions to ask yourself that will help you get started. Consider these, “How do you handle stress?” and “What makes you happy?” It might seem silly, but these will help you bloom into the person you can and want to be. This will ultimately help with how you do with your future relationships with people and yourself.
Practicing good finance and personal development will help seniors so much in having a successful life. Seniors, use your resources and practice good habits to help you in the long run. You can find happiness in many ways, these are just some to help you with your journey.
