seniors 2012.

The class of 2012 at Pellston High School has definitely been the best class in quite some time. This last Tuesday night we did our senior prank and I must say, it was so much fun. I doubt I’ll ever forget it. We decided that it would be funny to camp out on the front lawn of the school overnight. In the morning we went out to breakfast. When we finished, some people decided not to come to school and the rest of us decided we better go.
We played hide and go seek and we had a dance competition. We also roasted marshmallows and hot dogs over a fire in a yard next to the school. We also wrote our names on the sidewalks and made big banners saying “seniors 2012” and put them over each door way. A couple of the boys decided to climb onto the roof of the school which was the scariest thing ever, but no one could get a picture of them because they were too high up and it was too dark for our cameras. A majority of us didn’t end up going to bed until about 2:00 in the morning, and we all had to get up at about 6 to eat breakfast. Some people stayed up the entire night. Because it was so cold that night, I got barely any sleep at all so I may as well have stayed up all night around the warm fire instead of in Carly’s cold van.
The van was probably warmer than any of the tents. And I know for a fact that it was warmer than no tent at all. Two of the guys in my class decided to sleep under the stars with only sleeping bags and blankets. When they woke up there was a layer of frost over them and their blankets! Even though it was cold the majority of us stuck through it and had a really good night.
In the morning during school everyone was talking about it. We were all exhausted and I had college later that day. I left school after lunch, got home and took an hour nap, took a quick shower, left for college, sat through a three hour lecture, drove home, wrote a quick blog post, and fell asleep in my bed within 5 minutes of my head hitting the pillow.



My favorite part of the night was right after we got done eating when we were all sitting and standing around the fire. We went around the circle and talked about where we wanted to go to college and what we saw ourselves doing in the next ten years. It was a good heart to heart talk; probably our last one ever as a class. It was nice to hear about everyone else’s goals, and to share my own. It feels like this entire year has flown by. I’m positive the last month and a half will go even faster. It’s crazy to think about, even though we’re so close to the end.
Next week we have pictures for the official graduation announcement. Prom is April 28^th. Senior pictures for the class composite, senior slideshow and yearbook are due the first week of May. The awards ceremony for scholarships is a few weeks after that. The last day of school is May 25^th. Graduation falls on Sunday, May 27^th. We really are wrapping everything up.

I’m excited and scared of course. Who knows what the future brings.

Whatever it is, the class of 2012 is ready to take on the world.
