Parents of the HS Class of 2020 (Part 2)

Thank you for the nudge on this. I just booked hotel rooms for our crew. Boston hotels are never cheap, but boy do they jack those prices up in May when all the schools are holding commencement. Talk about sticker shock.

Yes, thank you for the reminder! This will be dsā€™s first graduation ceremony as his high school ceremony was canceled due to Covid. Heā€™s my youngest and Iā€™m so excited for to see him walk and step into the next chapter of his life. He was offered a great job at the company he interned with this summer so things are starting to fall into place!

ok, I know this is the deadest thread on CC, but I just figured it was the right place to share itā€¦so excited to schedule D20ā€™s LAST undergraduate tuition payment today. I am ecstatic and honestly canā€™t believe we managed to get her through school, debt-free. :smiley: (of course, now I can start stressing about the next four years of tuition for D24 :face_with_peeking_eye: )

Anyway, I hope many of you are enjoying or will soon be enjoying that feeling of the last payment for our HS class of 2020 kiddos.

So funny, I thought about posting here but wasnā€™t going to until I saw your post. Canā€™t believe our 2020s are graduating. D20 just received her first law school acceptance today, so school payments will continue for us, at least on her dime this time! Celebrate making that final college payment!

Mine took a year off and then transferred, so he is a junior. It seems to be common for the 2020 grads to have a meandering path, from what I have seen anecdotally. Weā€™re happy he is on track to not be in school more than 9 semesters, so weā€™re seeing that as a win, after transferring and changing majors, etc!

Mine also transferred and is a juniorā€¦ it does seem to be more common with this class.
