High school graduation is a day that will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. You start out thinking “Oh man, I can’t wait to get out of here!” but then you’re forced to think about what a great time high school has been, even as the school captain is throwing out terrible puns that have to do with your English area of study. It’s never quite like in the movies (I wish we got the caps and gowns!) but it feels like a movie transition into the rest of your life. I’m sure everyone who’s graduated high school can attest to the up and down emotions of finishing school forever.
