ummm I did it. The ceremony was boring, the after party was awesome and I can’t possibly be more done with school at this point. Can I PLEASE get on with the rest of my life now?
Graduation related pet peeve: Certain fellow graduate peers with facebook status updates along the lines of “omg I can’t believe I’ve finally grown up” or something akin to this statement. Newsflash: you didn’t become an adult, get any smarter or change personally in any way over night. You’ve joined the diploma club and you now have the opportunity to enter the working world with it if you so choose. Or you can always choose to torment yourself with more school if you happen to be a masochist. Yes that slip of paper opens doors but it certainly shouldn’t mark an end to learning, growing or being young. I see striking parallels with those who break down emotionally upon reaching the less than monumental ages of 20, 30 or what have you. Buck up and just keep living life damnit!
