My Senior Year of the United States
My Senior Year of the United States (MSYUSA) is a downloadable project template for DIYing your own senior year, with printable guides for making up your own assignments. MSYUSA is ideal for the kind of person who laughscreams at the title alone. It's also for creatives who want just enough structure to see a project through, while also having the freedom* to explore something new.
The downloadable components include:
-
Newspaper: space for documenting field trips and volunteer hours
-
Yearbook: journal prompts and space for saving mementos
-
Graduation Speech Writing: writing prompts
-
Independent Study: space for research and ideas
Receive a digital download to your inbox for $5, or choose to have a printed PDF delivered to your mailbox for $20. Either way, you're encouraged to submit your graduation speech and/or capstone project below.
*MSYUSA is definitely for people who skip to find the asterisk next to a word like freedom.
MSYUSA x KCAC'S Sketchbook Project
In collaboration with the Kansas City Artists Coalition's (KCAC) Sketchbook Project, upcoming workshops in December 2026 and March 2027 will guide participants through MSYUSA writing and drawing exercises. Students who bring completed sketchbooks back to KCAC between May 1 - June 17, 2027 will be included in the annual Sketchbook Project exhibition. MSYUSA participants may be included in a special shelf or wall dedicated to the class of 2027.
