As the 2014-2015 school year slowly but surely had begun to come to an end, Padua senior students have gotten more and more excited about end of the year events including the Senior Trip to Washington D.C., Senior Prom, Closing Liturgy, and of course, Senior Week. Senior Week typically takes place the month of June, and is a time designated for recent high school graduates to rent beach houses, condos, or hotel rooms and spend time celebrating graduation with their friends.

Popular Senior Week destinations include Dewey Beach, Delaware, Ocean City, Maryland, and Wildwood, New Jersey. Padua’s senior week will begin the weekend following graduation, running any time from May 30th to June 7th, with most students vacationing in Dewey Beach, Delaware.

“I think senior week can be a great way to not only to spend more time with your friends before you all move off to college, but it can also be a way to demonstrate responsibility by using your own money to rent and take care of a house,” says senior Caitlin Ritchie. “We have to purchase our own groceries, clean the house, cook our own food, etc. It is good practice for what necessary jobs we will have to do for moving out and living on our own next year without our parents.”

“I’m going to have one last celebration with my girl friends before we all go our separate ways for college,” agrees senior Katie Moloney. “After four years of stress and hard work, it’ll be nice to be able to relax and have fun.”

Not all Senior students see Senior Week as a positive celebration, though. The week is expensive to participate in, and in some cases, can also be a time for students to get overly excited causing them to misbehave and get into mischief. “I think that Senior Week is a really expensive event,” says Vicky Panzera. “I would rather spend my money going somewhere else that I would enjoy a lot more than the beach.”

“My friends and I are going to the mountains in Virginia and staying in a cabin for senior week,” shares Becca Brown. “The amount of people at the beaches during senior week would give me anxiety, so mountains are a great alternative since my friends and I enjoy that area a lot!”

“My family is taking me to Disney World during the week of senior week as a graduation president,” said senior Sabrina Pierce. “My parents don’t think the beach during senior week is the safest place to be, and they’d rather have me somewhere safer and under more supervision.”

Whether senior week is spent on the beach, in another destination like the mountains, or maybe even celebrated in Disney World with family, the week after graduation is definitely a great time to get away and find some peace and relaxation after a long, final year of high school.
