I don't know if my age is showing, or if i'm having a serious FOMO moment here, but back in my day, when we graduated high school, the biggest thing we did to announce 'CLASS OF' (whatever) to the world was writing on the car windows with that window chalk, and maybe my mom paying for an ad in the local newspaper - ok now i'm definitely aging myself.

These days, the options to celebrate the Class of 2025 seem endless.

Graduation Season Celebrations

Another back in my day reference to high school graduation and all of the festivities associated with it. I remember the big things (back in the early 2000's anyway) were getting your class ring, yearbook, prom, and maybe a senior trip to Six Flags.

These days, there's all sorts of specialty senior events like the Mid-Hudson Bridge being lit up in your school colors for a salute to grads, senior sunrise or sunset events, walking the halls of your former elementary school in your cap and gown, just to name a few.
