The end of four years is in sight for seniors and Sacred Heart is providing the class of 2007 with a fun-filled Senior Week celebration.
With so much happening in a short period, it is only natural to feel a little anxious and stressed, especially if you have been caught by a bit of 'senioritis' and decreased motivation.
Seniors must still deal with finals, continue to finish up some last minute work, and work on other final preparations to make sure graduation goes smoothly, all the while patiently counting down the final days of the semester.
"It feels so good, but scary at the same time to be this close to graduation. I've been thinking about this day since I got here and now it's finally come, I can't believe it. It all came and went by so fast, but I'm glad to move on," said Val Bellegarde, senior, East Meadow, N.Y.
"Coming to SHU has been a wonderful experience and I've met so many different people along the way. I'm going to miss being here and all the friends I have made," said Bellegarde.
It offers the student a convenient way to be a part of the celebration without having to worry about preparations.
Instead, it offers a package of five events which will lead right into commencement on Sunday May 13 at 11:00 a.m.
The week starts off the evening of May 9 at 9:00 p.m. with Fat Wednesday, which is SHU's first ever bar crawl.
It will take place in Milford and will include open bar, free food, and entertainment.
Thursday, May 10 will feature two events. First there is a 11 a.m. brunch in Trumbull where students are invited to come toast the Senior Week guest of honor (the recipient of the annual Yearbook Dedication).
That evening, a trip up to Mohegan Sun is planned for 9:00 p.m. for a night of a variety of food, drinks tickets, and vouchers at the casino - making a fun night for all.
The following night, Friday May 11 at 8:00 p.m. is the highly anticipated Commencement Ball, which will include dinner, open bar, and a night full of dancing.
