In less than one week I will be graduating from college. To say I am ecstatic would be an understatement! I will be leaving my days of getting to class by riding my razor scooter behind and trading them for days spent in the "real world" (the place that adults always complain about and kids always complain that they can't wait to be a part of). Obviously such a big day is going to come with a lot of different emotions. I've compiled a few of the emotions/thoughts I plan on feeling during my graduation ceremony that I'm sure all graduates will be feeling on their big day. Combine that with one of my life mottos, "Everything is better with a GIF from The Office" and this is what you get...

9:00am

When you wake up and giggle because you remember that today is your big day. The day you've been anticipating for 4+ years.

9:02am

After you finish giggling and realize that your "adult life" starts today.

10:12am

When the left side of your hair looks flawlessly perfect but the right side won't cooperate and continues to look jacked up.

10:36am

The look you'll give when your mom, 2 grandmas, and 3 aunts all have different opinions about your outfit (even though no one will see it because you'll be wearing a graduation gown all day.)

12:30pm

When you are trying really hard not to spill your lunch on your graduation dress and fail miserably.

1:15pm

Walking up to the "graduate staging area" and spotting your squad.

1:20pm

Listening to a 15 minute explanation on how to properly walk across the stage, shake hands and smile, and walk back to your seat without embarrassing yourself, your family, your school, and everyone you know.

2:00pm

When they start playing the graduation march.

2:36pm

When someone forgot to tell Tina the Valedictorian that her speech and a time limit and she's 15 minutes past it.

2:40pm

When you're hungry and you realize your dress has pockets and you put a mint in one of them.

2:55pm

When they FINALLY start calling names!

3:07pm

When you properly walk across the stage, shake hands and smile, and walk back to your seat without embarrassing yourself, your family, your school, and everyone you know and they hand you a diploma holder without a diploma in it.

3:28pm

When it's all said and done and you're walking out of the building with your tassel flipped to the other side and an empty diploma holder.

11:30pm

When you get together with your squad to celebrate all your accomplishments!
