The year you graduate from high school is the most exciting year of your life, or so people say. You leave behind the legacy you have created the past four years in high school so you can create new legacies, memories and experience in college. The year you graduate from high school starts with lasts: last prom, last high school football game, last time you will see your friends before Thanksgiving break. However, the best part about graduating high school is that although it is filled with lasts, there are even more firsts that fill their void. Although the class of 2015 is sad to see such an amazing year flee, we are all eager for even more lasts and firsts that will come our way in 2016.
1. Waking up on Jan. 1, 2015, and thinking, "I'm going to college this year."
2. Going on senior year spring break with your best friends since forever.
3.Throwing water balloons in the hallway, putting saran wrap over the toilets, or any other senior prank.
4. Saying “this is the one” to your home for the next four years.
5. The free feeling after the last bell of your last high school class rang.
6. Throwing your graduation cap in the air, officially becoming a high school graduate.
