For the seniors of KHS, the days of waking up at 6 a.m. for school is over.

Now, they’re moving on to bigger and better things, like starting college this fall.

Starting college can be both exciting and frighting, and it’s impossible to predict what to expect.

Below, four seniors share what they’re most looking forward to about college, what they’re least looking forward to, and what they’ll miss the most about high school.

“I’m least looking forward to being eight and a half hours away from my friends,” Hawes said. “Like I’ve lived down the road from my best friend Grace for 13 years.”
