The Weight of Senior Year

Seniors in high school are acutely aware of their final year together, cherishing every moment as they anticipate the changes that lie ahead. They express feelings of 'last timeness,' recognizing that this is their final opportunity to participate in cherished traditions such as prom and senior sunset. As they navigate through their plans for the year, they engage in humorous activities, including unique experiences like 'trash bagging,' adding a sense of nostalgia to what they consider quintessential high school moments. This longing drives them to prioritize being together with friends, even going so far as to plead with counselors to have classes and lunches together.
