By: Sierra Brown & Adyson Speer

As high school seniors prepare to walk the stage and move on to the next chapter of their lives, there's no shortage of memories. Some include senior sunrise, Friday night lights, school dances, and sporting events. But amidst the bittersweet goodbyes, there’s also a collective sigh of relief. Because let’s be honest, there are definitely a few things seniors won't be missing.

From awkward hallway encounters to early morning alarms, here’s a look at what some of the Class of 2025 is more than happy to leave behind.

The clear overarching thing that seniors wont miss was "school lunch"

While there’s plenty we’ll miss, like our favorite teachers, unforgettable memories, and lifelong friendships, seniors are also entitled to celebrate the things they’re glad to leave behind. Graduation is not just an ending, but it’s a beginning and a fresh start in which is it is "okay" to say "good-bye" to the little things that sometimes made high school more annoying.
