“UPD” or “Último Primer día” (Last first day) is an argentinian celebration that students make in reference to their last first day in high
school.
The UPD begins on a night prior to the start of classes, with the condition of staying awake until entering
school the next day. The celebration begins in a house where all or some members of the course meet, which then lasts overnight in parks near the
school and ends at the door or in the courtyard of the institution they attend, until the time of
school entry.
