College Merhcandise

Marlee Smith and Erika Siemasko, Staff Writers

Majority of the senior class has decided and committed to their college of their dreams. With committing to their college comes with a lot of college gear. Many students are purchasing clothing such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, long sleeves, sweatpants, socks, leggings, shorts, and more. The most popular fashion trend this year is a furry pullover. Other common gear includes water bottles, lanyards, ID holders that attach to the back of your phone case, phone cases, bumper stickers, and more.

On May 1, students had to officially commit to their schools, so students wore their college gear to their high schools to show off their college decision. The Triton Voice interviewed with many seniors about their final decision for school and what gear they own so far.
