Student parties are held with your
class. When you start Swedish high school (when you are 16) you chose a class
and you stay in that class until you graduate. So you get pretty close with
your class! My party was held with my class as well as another class in the same
program!
Each different party has a different
theme. Mine was Supernatural, which is quite a hard theme to dress up to if you
don’t want to be superman or a vampire, so naturally I went as Dumbo. Dressing
up as Dumbo and then getting on a train to get to the club was rather
interesting and I got quite a lot of odd looks but it was ok because my friend
was dressed up as a robot with blue hair!
The night starts off with a dinner with
both the classes and parents if you wanted to invite them. We had our main meal
and chatted away! After the main meal it was time to get given what we are in
the class! This is decided with the whole class before the dinner and you find
out on the night! What you are is written on a paper plate. I got “Klassens Hobbit” or “Class Hobbit”.
The reason for this was because I am from New Zealand and when they think of me
they think of Green New Zealand in Lord of the Rings and of Frodo! Once you get
your plate you wear it all night! It is quite funny seeing everyone wearing
paper plates around all night! After that we had desert and then the party
really started!!
The tables where cleared away and the
club was restored to its usual dancing, parting self and friends all started to
arrive! Then it was time to dance the night away till a nice time of three in
the morning!
It was such a fun night and something
that sure doesn’t happen back in New Zealand. The differences when it comes to
school things is crazy. A class party in a club would not be a happening thing
in New Zealand so having that experience is amazing! I am really looking
forward to graduation now! It should be a fun day!
