As the school year comes to a close and the seniors are preparing for graduation, the anticipation is on the rise. The main topic of discussion among most seniors right now is the day of graduation and how it’s going to go. While everyone is focused on June 10, not many people think about what seniors are going to do the day after graduation when they are finally free from high school. There is a vast difference in what people are doing the day after graduation. Some are spending time with family, some with friends, and others are going to graduation parties. For senior Kolby Hartford, he already has his day planned out. Hartford said, “I will be attending other people’s grad parties and will probably hang out with some friends at the lake.” He has been planning this agenda for a couple weeks now and is very excited for the day to come!

Graduating is a very anticipated event that many students look forward to. While this accomplishment is very exciting, it can also be scary and tends to give seniors mixed emotions.

Senior Shyonna Landrum

stated, “I am feeling ready for graduation, though I don’t think it has fully hit me that I am moving away and won’t be seeing my friends and family every day, but overall I am excited.” Landrum also plans on spending the day after graduation with her friends as she attends their grad parties in order to soak up the last few moments that she has with them.

The majority of seniors have the same agenda for the day after graduation. Senior Braylen Harris will be spending time with his family to celebrate his graduation. “My grandparents are coming in from Florida and Texas. There’s not a lot to do in Oregon so we won’t be doing anything too crazy. We will be going to watch the new ‘SpiderMan: Across the Spider-Verse’ movie so that will be fun,” said Harris. Whether you’re spending the day with family, friends, or enjoying it alone, it’s a great time to pat yourself on the back and reflect on how you made your high school experience unique to yourself.
