Senior Bucket List: What Seniors Still Want To Do
As the final weeks of senior year close in on us, the Class of 2025 is reflecting on everything they’ve done—and everything they still hope to do. Between countdowns to graduation, college decisions, and final exams, seniors are thinking about last-chance moments they want to experience before turning their tassels. From heartfelt traditions to lighthearted goals, seniors are sharing what’s left on their personal bucket lists.
For Emily Ryu, one of her top priorities is making sure no friend leaves without a memory to take with them. “I want to sign all my friends’ yearbooks before we go our separate ways,” she said—a simple yet meaningful goal rooted in connection as classmates prepare to go in different directions. As for academics, Emily has one clear objective: “not to have to take finals.”
Some seniors are focused on making their final moments fun. Eri Tooher is hoping for one last experience. “Participate in a fun and lighthearted senior prank,” she said. Beyond that, she’s working to maintain motivation as the year comes to an end. “My goal is to keep myself motivated,” Eri shared.
Others are looking to leave with a sense of accomplishment. Renee Kim has a practical goal shared by many: “to not fail my classes.” Her drive goes beyond grades, as she hopes to be remembered as “someone who was hardworking and diligent.” While she has checked off most of her bucket list, Renee is still looking forward to “taking a picture with the screen outside the school that says where I’m going to college.”
Emma Twomey is holding on tight to her friendships in these final weeks. “One thing I want to do before graduation is make a lot of memories with my friends from high school before the summer starts,” she said. “A lot of people are leaving, and we obviously won’t see each other next year, so I just want to make the most memories.” Her goal is to “keep up my grades, even though I already gave in to senioritis.” Emma hopes to be remembered as a “nice person” by her classmates and still hopes to attend more events. “I’d like to go to all of the sports games, even though I kind of fell off on that,” she said, while also reflecting on a school tradition she missed. “I wish we were able to sign the paw print, even though that’s not something we can do anymore. That was something I wanted to do.”
Whether they are aiming for a harmless prank, a signature, or one last A in a class, seniors across the school are making the most of their final days. Some want to leave a legacy, while others just want to soak up their last moments. But together, they are writing the final lines of a story four years in the making.
