WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY FROM SENIOR YEAR?
PRISHA TIWARI
Agustya Chamarthy
My favorite memory with my friends would probably have been the senior SNL [skit] because we got to hang out [and we] all had fun.
Some of it we got to do in person — we got to create the script together, production, characters assembling [and] we had really fun [time] during shooting [and] writing. It was overall just a blast at the time. In one of my skits, I remember I threw a water bottle super far away and it kind of hurt my arm and that was funny.

"I went to Monterey with four of my friends and we stayed in one of my friend’s houses. We stayed there for two nights [and] the first thing we did was [we went] to the beach and we went on the 17 mile drive [and] stopped at [all of] the 17 stops. We also cooked at [my friend's] house [and] made this s'mores [dip] and that was really fun to make together and then eat it. Because of COVID[-19] we haven't been able to do much, and since it is our second semester senior year we wanted to do something [but] we couldn't go really far. We [have talked] about going on a senior trip for a while [and because of] COVID[-19] we needed to be a little more realistic."

"Over spring break, on the last day, we went to Santa Cruz and I think [what was] most fun was I have always wanted to be really spontaneous like in the movies where they call each other up and [say], ‘Let's go somewhere right now,’ and then they actually go. It was really fun actually doing that in senior year because [in] previous years nobody could drive [so] you can’t be spontaneous, because you have to plan it out with your parents. We mostly just chilled out [on] the beach [and] got a really good spot right near the ocean, and afterwards we went [to the] downtown to just walk around and they have a lot of cool, niche stores."

"My friends stayed at one of my [parents’] houses in Gilroy and during the day we went to Monterey and traveled around that area. We went shopping at the outlets and around the malls and we saw a bunch of beaches and then we had a day where we just kind of hung out at the house. We did a lot of cooking — we made our own food and we just sat around on the sofas and talked.
We were excited that we were all seniors and we [could] all drive so we decided, ‘Why not plan something fun for a few days?’ Our original plan was to go out of state [over the summer], but we realized that might not be possible because of COVID[-19] so we thought we would do something smaller during spring break."

"My favorite memory so far [of] senior year was when I got to see my friends after COVID[-19]. It was winter break, first semester [and] my friend just invited me and a couple of friends to his house for pizza and talking and cards. We always hang out online, but it was just so much more fun in person. We had pizza and chips in the backyard, his little brother was there, [and] it was just so fun to reconnect again and talk about things that we used to do in person at school during lunch.
We were there for around five hours and played a card game [called] Poker BS which is a mix of Poker and the game Bluff. The full thing was worth remembering."

"Senior Nitya Yerranguntla and her friends went down to Santa Barbara for three nights as their mini senior trip.
A funny moment we had was [when] we thought we had clogged our sink for [our] Airbnb, because nothing was draining. So we had to drain out all of the water in the sink by taking a mug and then scooping the water out and then putting it in the bathroom sink. We bought Drain Out and poured it down the drain and then the water started rising out of the sink, and we thought that we were super screwed. But then we were like, ‘OK we're wasting too much of our time’ so we left the Airbnb and went out. When we came back, we thought it would [have been] drain[ed], but the water was still at the same level. My friend stuck her hand into the drain sink to what was happening and it was super gross for her but she took one for the team. When she stuck her hand down, we noticed that the top of one of the teapots that we bought was stuck inside the sink and that was causing the water to not be able to go down.
My favorite part was just being able to spend time with my friends in an Airbnb, especially since we're all going to college, where we'll have to take care of ourselves, be able to cook and clean our rooms and everything [and] it was a nice experience in preparation for that.
So we created a presentation to show our parents, and then we had everyone come on the same Zoom call. Each person had slides to present, and the slides [covered] safety, COVID, budget and we had a slide for each one. At the end of the two hour call, they said yes!"
