The 2024-25 school year is coming to an end, and as we wrap things up, it’s hard not to look back. This year alone brought some pretty unforgettable moments, and if you look back on all four years, it’s been a wild ride.

Fireworks going off, pranks gone wrong, School events where, even if you didn’t show up, you could feel everyone’s energy. New friendships formed, and maybe a few people you didn’t exactly get along with, but that’s all part of the experience. Now, with graduation around the corner, it’s time to step into the real world, with everything that comes with it. That’s why these last few weeks matter.

Whether it’s heading to Senior Sunset tomorrow, hanging out with friends, or skipping a day to enjoy some peace at home, it’s all valid. The toughest parts of the school year are behind us. A couple more assignments, a few final check-ins, and we’re out of here.

To everyone getting ready to walk across that stage: take pride in how far you’ve come. Even if there were moments you’re not proud of, you made it. So let’s enjoy these last days because they are the closing scene of a chapter of our lives we won’t forget.
