Congratulations to all my fellow graduates. We made it!

We made it through all of the hard times, even the moments that we thought were impossible to overcome.

We’ve put our juvenile ways behind us…

…and have become serious adults who achieve serious accomplishments.

As it comes to an end, college tries to make us doubt ourselves…

…but we know that we’re tough, and we have everything we need to succeed.

Even sitting through a long commencement ceremony is an achievement in itself.

Hopefully you have a speaker who inspires you.

Really, we’re just ready to start our new adult lives.

Because even when times are bad…

…being out in the world is so, so cool.

So congrats, grads. You earned this.
