As students at Northern Valley Demarest enter February break one thing is clear: the year is about to speed up.
Covering the bed in your future school colors is an ongoing trend in the Northern Valley.
For seniors, it’s the year of college commitments and celebration of all kinds.
One way students love to show off their school spirit is through decorating their beds. People invite all their friends as they receive gifts and snacks of all kinds!
Bed decorating is a way to show off your new school with a celebration planned by friends and family. This occurs when seniors commit to colleges and they want to celebrate their achievements by filling their entire bed up with gifts from their college.
These decorating parties are designated for students moving onto the next chapter of their life. But how should people begin to plan for these parties?
Many companies are popular for creating small gifts to put on their bed parties. For example, they sell candy boards, cakes, clothes and more.
Planning for a bed decorating is simple: text whoever is being celebrated’s closest friends and family members, buy gifts and come hungry.
Some people believe bed decorating has both pros and cons. Senior, Chloe Hoehn shares insights into her views on bed decorating.
“I think the idea of bed decorating is fantastic! People can get free food, free snacks, free clothes and everyone is celebrating me, but it also would be draining doing it for everyone for months,” Hoehn said.
Hoehn discusses how having to pay for people can become costly over time and is annoying as she wraps up her senior year.
Senior, Jordyn Semegran has similar views to Chloe Hoehn about the fad. It is clear that some students think bed decorating is an event that has good intentions, but may annoy the people involved.
“Bed decorating is so fun because I love celebrating my friends and their accomplishments, but it is definitely costly and annoying. Starting spring I have one almost every weekend and it gets in the way of my schedule and honestly just makes me stressed,” Semegran said.
