Graduation: As Told By A Senior

 

 

When you realize that you don’t have much time left…

 

 

 

And then you decide you need to go party

 

 

 

So you start with a drink or two…

 

 

 

And then you’re dancing the night away

 

 

 

Suddenly it’s late and you’re really hungry

 

 

 

DRUNK FOOD!

 

 

 

You realize how much you love all of your friends

 

 

 

…And then how much you love college

 

 

 

…And then you remember again that you’re graduating

 

 

 

Some may say you’re in denial…

 

 

 

Cue the water works:

 

 

 

But you remember that you’re headed to the next chapter of your life

 

 

 

…Even if you have no idea what you you’ll do yet

 

 

 

 

(You curse the majors that have more job stability than communications majors)

 

 

 

But you’re determined to be Jenna Rink in 13 Going on 30

 

 

 

The girl version of the movie BIG

 

 

 

And so you decide you should Netflix a good Tom Hanks Movie

 

 

 

And instead you stuble across this epic Tom Hanks Graduation Speech at Yale

 

 

 

…And remember… YOU ARE GRADUATING 

 

 

 

And you kind of freak out a little bit

 

 

 

*Tears* 

 

 

 

But you know, you’ll always be a Nittany Lion

 

 

 

And that post grad life is a new adventure

 

 

 

No but really there will be cool stuff

 

 

 

 

…plus there’s always Arts Fest
