My off period is my absolute favorite part about senior year. Here’s my top 13 reasons why:
- The extra time I can spend with my favorite family member: Mitchell!
- Extra time for homework.
- Similar to #2 but I only have 5 classes worth of homework to worry about.
- I don’t have to eat lunch at school because I can cook myself something yummy and fresh at home.
- I love to read, but never have any time to do any reading that isn’t for school. During my off, sometimes I can 🙂
- I love driving, but never in the school parking lot. Leaving at 12:25 makes it the easiest possible time to escape.
- Easy time to schedule doctor/ dentist appointments because I know I won’t have any plans.
- I can go to the gym without seeing anyone from school.
- I hate lunch time at school, I love being at home.
- I go immediately from school to track to work so it’s nice to have a little break in between
- I can Facetime with my older sister who’s studying abroad in Rome! The nine hour time difference makes it hard but my off period makes it possible.
- College applications are a nightmare. Without the extra time, I don’t know if I would ever finish.
- I can spend my time focusing on things I care more about. There weren’t any other classes I was interested in taking, so I’m glad I wasn’t forced into another boring class.
Overall, I highly recommend an off period to anyone that has the availability to fit it in their senior year schedule.
