Editor’s note: Barry Courter has a 26-year-old son who is a college graduate and a 21-year-old daughter who is a senior in college. Each week he poses a question he wishes they would ask.

Q: Dad, junior year is over, so what should I expect next year?

A: Gold and riches beyond your wildest imagination. I hope. Seriously, it depends on how you’ve scheduled things. For me, senior year was the easiest because I had classes in my major that I really enjoyed. They were less general education classes or more real world. Mainly, though, stay focused and have some fun.
