Freshmen! Start Saving Up For Your Senior Year

by Naty Sanchez

As much as Senior year gives you a lot of memories, it comes with a lot of expenses. With this in mind, you should save up, and the best option will be to get a job. As a senior, you’ll want to attend all the events of the school, for example: homecoming school games, prom, senior trip, and more. Additionally, you have to buy many items like the yearbook, cap and gown, your senior portrait, photography session, etc. Many of these things are optional, but still, the prices are crazy. The class of 2026 is expending a lot of money, for example this year homecoming tickets started around $20. ¨If you are a girl you pay more because you have to do your nails, toes, heels, dress, uber if you don’t have anybody to take you, and sometimes get your hair and makeup which includes lashes and eyebrows,” Berenice O stated. The same things apply to prom, but the price of the ticket is higher, the start price is $150 w/ ASB and $160 without ASB, and if your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to attend with you, the price is almost the same, about $165 for the guest if they don’t go here. And every month the price goes up and up. I know many students rent a cap and gown, but to be honest, many students want to decorate their caps. If you plan to decorate your cap expect another higher cost. In conclusion, if you aren’t a senior, start saving up now!
