It’s about that time of year when seniors across the nation put into action months, maybe even years of planning, in an effort to squeeze as much fun as possible out of their last couple months of high school. Administrators know its coming, yet are powerless to stop it. That's right, its senior prank season. Every year members of the senior class organize secretly and execute a prank during the last few months of school. The tradition is passed down from class to class, with each group trying to find something new and unique to do. The senior prank is a quintessential part of the high school experience, along with football games, the prom, and beating up nerds in gym class. We seniors deserve every bit of fun we can get, as we live out our last days of adolescence before stepping off the cliff to the “real world” of adulthood. The senior prank should be embraced and remembered not as a childish act of juvenile irresponsibility, but as a final teenage blaze of glory. I support the senior prank, as long as it is carried out in a respectful and inoffensive fashion. Hopefully the tradition continues on for years to come, in new, creative, and safe ways. The senior prank should be unique, memorable, and most importantly fun. High school is supposed to be the best four years of your life. While this is arguable, high school is a very important time in everybody’s life. As much as you learn in the classroom, you learn even more about yourself as a person. High school is important not because it helps you to get into college or to get a job, but because it teaches you about the world and about life. It should be an enjoyable time for everyone, and the senior prank is, as they say, “all in good fun.” ]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2005 21:21:00 GMT
