By now, you’ve probably noticed senior year comes with a weird mix of independence and pressure. Teachers are easing up, but deadlines still matter. Parents are giving you more freedom, but they’re also asking what your plan is. It’s easy to feel like you’re carrying all of this on your own.
Here’s the truth: you don’t have to.
Community is one of the strongest gifts God gives us, especially in seasons of transition. That’s something the Impact 360 Fellows Program emphasizes—living, learning, and growing alongside people who are chasing the same goal of knowing Jesus more deeply. It’s not just about surviving senior year or the first year of college. It’s about building rhythms of discipleship and accountability now so you’re not blindsided when you leave home.
Whether you’re considering a gap year or heading straight to college, ask yourself: who’s in my corner? Are you building friendships that help you stay grounded in faith? Do you have mentors speaking wisdom into your decisions?
It’s still early in your senior year, and that means you have time to be intentional about your people. Don’t wait until college to learn the value of community—start practicing it today. And if you want to hear what that looks like in real life, Monday’s episode shares powerful stories from students who lived it.
