Create Your Masterpiece

...on your graduation cap that is.

Apr 19, 2017

I can’t speak for every other college senior who is getting ready to embark on graduation day. However, I can speak for myself, and I can tell you I have only one thing on my mind when it comes to graduation day -- my graduation cap. The new fad involving graduation is to decorate the top of your graduation cap in a way that shows the world who you are. Possible ideas include showing the world your future through encompassing your major, sharing with the world your favorite quote, or entertaining the world by throwing out some humor. There are endless possibilities; however, nothing can be created until an idea is sparked. This is why I’m going to leave with you some possible masterpiece ideas to show the world who you are on your graduation day.

Future Educators: Show the world what your true passion is by creating a masterpiece on your graduation cap that revolves around your life as a teacher.

Quote Lovers: If you have a favorite quote or a quote you live by, show the world on graduation day by putting it on your graduation cap. Quotes by famous people, Bible verses, prayers, etc. -- they’ll all make a great touch to your special day.

Humor Addicts: Humor can be the best medicine in life, but we all know it takes a special person to let humor shine. If you are that special person and your humor radiates a room, choose a humorous message to show the world on graduation day.

TV Lovers: Do you have a favorite TV show? If so, maybe you should try incorporating that show into your masterpiece on graduation day.

Movie Lovers: Maybe TV shows aren’t your thing, but movies are. Let the world know one of your favorite movies or movie quotes on graduation day by letting it shine through your graduation cap.

Math Majors: If you are that odd percentage of the population, whom I do not understand, and math is your specialty, you might as well show the world on graduation day. I, however, will steer clear of showing the world anything math related.

Science Majors: For some odd reason, there are a lot of puns and humor that go along with science. Embrace that if you’re a science major and show it to the world on graduation day.

Agriculture Lovers: Growing up in Nebraska, agriculture plays a large role in the lives of many. Show your appreciate for agriculture on graduation day.

Whether your graduation cap is your only concern involving graduation or not, I hope that you have gained some inspiration from reading this article. However, if you’re still stuck on a masterpiece idea, dig deep and find what inspires you. Show the world what you’re all about. This is your last chance to shine on your college campus.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame.

Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
