There are those who will have a graduation party that has to be planned ahead of time. Students might find it hard to say goodbye to their friends when they\u00a0head off to college to\u00a0start\u00a0their\u00a0new lives. Graduation parties let seniors make one last memory with friends that will never be forgotten. Senior Jordan Kelly has been planning her graduation party for nearly a month. Kelly said she did not have a budget for herself, and has not bought anything yet. The theme for her graduation party is simply \u201cred and white because it is her school\u2019s colors.\u201d Senior Courtney Zentz started planning her graduation party in March of this year because she had completed all of her classes in February. Zentz did not have a budget because \u201cher parents are paying for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having a job is useful, especially when it comes to senior year, and students save the money they earn. Zentz said, \u201cIt’s good to save as much money as you can when throwing a graduation party because then you can put it towards college and your life in the real world.\u201d Several people will be attending graduation parties throughout the month of June and July. A good mix of family and friends will be attending Kelly\u2019s graduation party.<\/p>\n

The theme of a graduation party is a huge part of\u00a0all parties, no matter how big or small. For senior Beca Lee, her theme is \u201cnew vintage.\u201d Lee said she likes to be different. The theme for Zentz graduation party is pink, black, and gold. She said, \u201cI choose this because I wanted it to resemble me. I didn’t want to go with school colors. I wanted to celebrate myself and all my hard work with things I liked.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next important item at a graduation party would have to be the food. At Lee\u2019s party, she will mainly be serving \u201cpulled pork\/chicken, along with some all beef hot dogs.\u201d There will be tons of food served at Zentz\u2019 graduation party, but her main dish will be \u201cpulled pork.\u201d She also plans on having something a little different, a \u201ccupcake bar!\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior Tanner Virgil has been planning his graduation party for about 3 months, and chose not to have a theme. His party will take place outdoors in his backyard. A majority of his\u00a0guests will be his family members. Tanner said, \u201cI will be attending several other graduation parties.\u201d Virgil said, \u201cTacos are my favorite food so that will be the main thing that will be served at my graduation party.\u201d Tanner said, \u201cI can\u2019t wait for my graduation party because I get to see my friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
