Some words of advice from your graduating BLOG staff:
Your Only Senior Year!
There are many different things that a lot of seniors would have done differently their senior year if they were able to do so. And there are also some things that the seniors would not have done if they could do it over.
- One thing that is a good idea for your senior year is to take as many college classes that you can so that you do not have to take them at college. It will get you a head start so that you do not have to go into college and take classes that you could have taken in high school.
- Be active in school, do as many sports, clubs, etc. as possible because this is your year and your last one!
- Do as much as you can with your fellow classmates such as get togethers, hanging out, ball games because this might be the last time that you are that close to one another.
- Take CTE if you’re interested in anything such as construction, drones, cooking, teaching, nursing, farming. If you have any questions about these classes that you might be interested in taking, reach out to Mrs. Bond or Mrs. Honeycutt.
- DO NOT let work get in the way of being involved in your Senior year because later down the road you will regret it!

As my time as a high school student draws to a close, I feel compelled to share some valuable lessons I’ve learned throughout my four years of schooling. This advice can be useful not only for current juniors but for all underclassmen. And I hope those who read this hear and follow my advice because it could be helpful!
- My first piece of advice is to join a club or a school sport; I think it is important to be proactive and involved in school life! You can also get service hours for these activities, which will be important later.
- Second, go to at least one game – whether it be football, baseball, softball, or soccer- find someone to go with you and support the school. Furthermore, go to as many school functions as you can, like prom, parades, and festivals; it may seem tedious, but at least you could say you were there and involved with school life (plus it might be more fun than you think)!
- Third, talk to your counselors; they are very resourceful. Also, when you become a senior, please apply for scholarships! You may not win the scholarships, but at least you can try to earn more money for college; the more scholarship money you have, the less debt you will have when you graduate.
- Fourth, take certain classes as early as possible because they can help with tests like the ACT (explicitly talking about trigonometry or a class with some trigonometry involved in the lesson)! I also recommend taking a few college classes at school because I find them more manageable, and you can get the hard stuff out of the way.
Thank you for this opportunity; I have enjoyed it so much and wish I could do it 100 times over. And if you were to pick a club, do the journalism club; it is pretty cool. (plus, Mrs. Comer is awesome!) Thank you, once again, for everything.

Senior year comes sooner than we all think! No matter how long you think you have to go, soak in every moment of high school. I want to give you underclassman four pieces of advice as you approach your senior year!
- GET INVOLVED!
- Go to that ball game! Sign up for that club/sport! Getting involved in sporting events, clubs, after school activities, and more will never be something that I regret! This is a great way to make memories from high school that will last a lifetime!
- NO DRAMA!
- All the girls know… high school drama is not worth it! Find you a good friend or two and be nice to everyone, this makes high school so much more stress free! You want people to remember you as the girl who was kind and respectful to everyone she encountered!
- STAY ORGANIZED!
- Keep up with all of your accomplishments, community service, and clubs that you have been a part of all throughout high school. Trust me, you will need this information whenever you are applying for all of those scholarships!
- WORK HARD!
- Stay on top of your work! Ask questions, study, do not procrastinate! It might not seem like any of the work you do matters at the time but it will most definitely help you whenever you start taking college courses. These college professors don’t play! Can’t miss a due date!

As a current Senior at Mooreville High School I have had to make many difficult decisions throughout my high school career. From deciding what classes to take to what activities to participate in there will be so many decisions to be made. Some advice I’d give students would be:
- To make as many memories as you can. As the chaos of school and life collide in one big mess and you are trying to figure out what to do for your future, be sure to take the time to make lasting memories with those around you. Don’t let the chaos swallow you up and keep you from enjoying your highschool years.
- Watch who you are around. The people you surround yourself with can either have a positive or negative outlook on your life. The people you choose to allow in your life may not always have your best interest in heart.
- Enroll in as many clubs and sports as you possibly can. Staying active in school is not only good for college applications but it can help you feel as if you have a purpose. Participating in school activities can keep.
- Never procrastinate in your more accountable classes. When it comes time for things to be due it shouldn’t have been done the night before. Get all of your work done and out of the way so you have time to enjoy your friends and other activities.
