Senior Year Bucket List: Fun Activities You’ve Never Thought to Try

Senior year often feels like a whirlwind of tests and plans. But it can also be a time to dive into experiences I never considered, like a late-night paddleboard adventure or a spontaneous road trip to a new town. These moments could add a fresh perspective to how I remember this year.

Exploring new activities may open doors to unexpected memories and connections. Who knows what might stick with me as I wrap up this chapter?

Here’s a quick list of things I want to check off before graduation:

  1. Throw a themed house party for my friends
