The majority of seniors have made their decision on where they\u2019ll spend the next four years of their lives. From big and small universities, to trade school, to the workforce, the seniors at River Hill High School are ready to move on from high school to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;After a long year of working hard to make it to this point, seniors have to make their commitment to a university by May 1st. As the last decisions come out in April, this is a short turn-around for many students. Senior Anika Nair projects, \u201cI\u2019m nervous about the time between when I hear from my last school and May 1st. I hope I\u2019ll be able to make my decision fast enough because I am a bad decision maker, and this is where I\u2019ll be spending the next four years.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several other components feed into the decision making process, including sports opportunities, distance from home, and finances. Senior Nico Lancashire debates, \u201cI\u2019m unsure if I want to go to Clemson or a school where I could play college football. I have to make the choice soon.\u201d Although students are unsure about where they will attend college, they hope to make the best decisions soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other students, however, have made their commitments months ago. Senior Nathan Osheroff recalls, \u201cI applied early decision to Duke and fortunately got in, so I\u2019m set. It\u2019s nice to have my future set so I don\u2019t have to worry about making a decision or finding a roommate in a short period of time.\u201d Many who applied early decision feel the same way, because their decisions were already made when they received their acceptance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seniors who have already committed are also excited to explore their major and meet new people. Samantha Densel, senior at River Hill says, \u201cI am so excited to attend University of Delaware and major in education. I\u2019ve worked hard to get to this point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a hard year of applications, acceptances, and rejections, the seniors deserve congratulations and good luck for the next steps of their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ellie Goldberg, Staff Writer It\u2019s finally that time of year.
