Cape Week is a time-honored tradition during which Stonehill college seniors flock to Hyannis the week before graduation for a bit of pre-commencement merriment. Here are 11 experiences everyone has while preparing for Cape Week.

1. When you can't focus on school because you're so excited about the thought of getting away for a week.

2. When you have trouble finding people to get a house with.

3. When you do manage to find a group after a long and arduous quest.

4. When you start thinking about how you're possibly going to pay for everything on this mini-vacation.

5. When Cape Week is so close that you can almost smell that wonderful ocean breeze.

6. When you start planning all the different spots you're going to hit during your nights on the Cape.

7. When you don't know how your liver is going to survive.

8. When you consider going on a diet before Cape Week so you will look swimsuit ready.

9. But you ultimately decide to just be you and not worry about what people might say.

10. When you feel depressed about the fact that Cape Week signals the end of your time in college.

11. But you try to forget that fact because Cape Week is supposed to be one of the best experiences you'll have as a college student!
