As the second week of school comes to a close, senior pictures do also. Senior pictures are a tradition most high schools do in order to honor the graduating seniors and commemorate the years spent at the school. Although some students are meticulous about their wardrobe choice, others see it as just another picture day.

“Make up, eyebrows, and I am probably going to buy something if I don’t find anything in my closet,” said senior Mahlate Bereket as she described what she is going to do in order to prepare for her pictures.

“Just a haircut I guess,” senior Ibrahim Quiroz says in a tone that makes it obvious that it is very unimportant to him.

Quiroz is not the only senior that brushes it off his shoulder, as there is an abundant amount of students that prepare last minute.

There are multiple packages seniors are able to choose from that differ on the amount of background choices and poses that are included. The students are able to decide how they want to pose along with what they want to wear. However, there is a fee that ranges from $15-$60 depending on the package the student chooses. On top of that, the students must also pay to order the pictures.

Nevertheless, it is the senior’s last chance to avoid a bad hair day and show off their pearly whites.  It is also a way to express themselves once more. Although some students might not take it as serious as others, these pictures are forever and a memory that will never fade. Seniors will be able to look back at these pictures and either regret or applaud their decisions.
