LOVE LETTER TO SENIORS

By NICOLE QUINONES

All at once seniors feel relief and a sense of accomplishment while also feeling sadness and a magnificent weight of stress as it gets closer to June and the thought of graduation. It is one of the strangest feelings in the world: excited to move on with their lives but also not wanting to leave what they have known for their entire lives. These students have grown up together, so it is strange for them to move on.

There is always so much hype about senior year. Some say it is the best year of high school.  It is a year of fun, making memories and soaking in every moment until graduation caps fly in the air. Making memories is probably the most important part of senior year.  Seniors will hold on to the memories of their last year of high school for the rest of their lives. 

Finding out what the next step of life will be is a huge part of senior year. It’s the only time in high school where the following year of life is unknown. Seniors have to figure out which college they will attend, if they will work full time, take a year off, or join the military.  Every student is going to be taking a different path come next year. This feeling is different considering every year before has been set in stone. There is so much stress that comes along with the beginning of senior year, that by the end of the year, seniors are so excited to celebrate finishing this chapter of their lives. 

There are so many exciting activities that seniors have to look forward to these last few months at Washingtonville High School such as spirit week, senior banquet, senior barbecue, graduation and all the feelings that come with knowing that this is the end.  It will truly be bittersweet.

Washingtonville High School’s graduating class of 2017 is going to exceed all expectations. They are so bright and intelligent.  It will be exciting to see where they all end up in life.
