For four years, seniors have been awaiting their last day of high school. For those that do not have to take exams thanks to senior exemptions, the official last day is May 15. Although seniors will recieve plenty of life advice in the upcoming week in regards of graduation, underclassmen will also need some advice during this time.

Possibly the most important piece of advice for underclassmen is to make sure to say goodbye, good luck and “I love you” to all of their senior friends. It may be a long time before any of you are able to see the graduating seniors again after this date, so make the most of it.

Rising seniors, sophomores and juniors should also pay close attention to the behavior of seniors during this time since they will possibly be mimicking the senior’s actions when their last day arrives.

Seniors may be antsy on May 15. After four years of homework, tests and the halls of McIntosh ruling their lives, the last day of high school will feel like a miraculous relief. They may feel too lazy to complete their work. They may feel so over school, they will just leave all their binders behind to rid themselves of the effort of throwing them out. They may display happiness over the last day finally being here and sadness that this may be the last time they’ll be with many of their teachers. The accumulation of months worth of senioritis shall show its face. Even those who somehow managed to power through their last months of high school without showing an increasing amount of apathy will likely develop a sudden burst of  I-just-don’t-care-anymore.

Underclassmen should also take note of the last day traditions of seniors, specifically the shaving-cream fight one.

Unless you want to be covered in shaving cream, I would suggest to avoid taking the school exit and entrance near the gym. As I know from experience, bus drivers nor whoever is picking up will be happy to have shaving cream that is covering your body dotting their seats.

Also, be careful in parking your car or golfcart in an area where a lot of seniors park their vehicles. Shaving cream is known to land on cars and golfcarts, sometimes even ruining paint. Make sure to bring some sort of sheet to protect your transportation or immediately rush outside to defend your transportation from shaving cream.

Overall, underclassmen should be respectful and understanding of the actions of seniors. One day, this will be them and just as many underclassmen mock or roll their eyes at the graduating class, those younger than them will do the same. Until then, congratulations to the class of 2014.
