You’re doing your hair, making sure your makeup is selfie-ready, and trying to make that gown feel a little less tent-like. What else are you doing? Jamming to your favorite songs to get yourself pumped up. It’s Graduation Day!
The past few years have been full of laughs, tears, all-nighters, parties, friends who are now family, and too many memories to count. It’s going to be a day of rollercoaster emotions and thoughts of the future. Put on the following playlist and get ready to say goodbye to your haters, hello to your stellar next chapter, and walk across that stage.
Firework – Katy PerryYou made it! It’s time to literally scream this song as loud as your lungs (and neighbors) will let you.
Graduation (Friends Forever) – Vitamin CBecause now you need a good cry because it’s all over. And it might be #ThrowbackThursday
Problem – Ariana Grande ft. Iggy AzaleaOk, so you won’t exactly miss all the homework and exams. One less, one less problem….
Nobody’s Perfect – Hannah MontanaSo maybe you failed a few tests. Maybe you made a few bad decisions. Whatevs, it’s all in the past.
Unwritten – Natasha BedingfieldThe future though, is totally up to you. Look at ALL the apartments. Apply to ALL the jobs. Go on ALL the adventures!
Mean – Taylor SwiftThen when you think of all the jobs you might not get, you just shake it off like:
Let It Go – Idina MenzelAll that stress and drama attached to “the college you,” you can just let that go.
Run The World (Girls) – BeyonceGender wage gap? Equality gap? Confidence gap? Excuse me?? Who run the world?
Hakuna Matata – The Lion KingAnd then you remember again that you no longer have homework.
