Graduation Day, As Told By 'Friends'
sfexaminer

Graduation day, a day you have been thinking about for the past four years. For some, they are ready to get things over with, but for others, it is a very bittersweet day. All around, though I think it is a day of excitement for everyone. The following GIFs by "Friends" accurately depict how graduation day is.

The night before graduation when you lay in your bed and realize you are graduating tomorrow and it feels like the night before Christmas.

When you have the early graduation so you have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready.

You hate to get up early, but then you realize it is GRADUATION DAY!!!!

Next, you arrive at the place where you are graduating and have to stand for at least an hour. The whole time you are standing in line you are thinking why did I choose to wear these heels?

You soon forget about your shoes and start to realize how fast this day really came.

Next thing you know you, pomp and circumstance is playing and you realize that the time has come to walk in and to graduate.

You are now sitting in an auditorium or building, surrounded by your friends and classmates and you realize how much you are going to miss them!

The speeches have finished and now it is the moment everyone has been waiting for, they are starting to call names. You walk up to the stage and they say your name and it is one of the most exciting moments ever!

All the names have been called and you have officially graduated! You walk outside into a sea of people to find your family and friends. If you are like me you felt like you were 5 years old and had lost your mom in the grocery store.


You finally find everyone and now the photo shoot begins. After all the pictures and excitement dies down you say goodbye to your friends and it is a really sad moment because you love them so much! It is OK though because you know you will see them at graduation parties tonight.

Finally, comes one of the best parts, graduation parties! Where you will receive gifts and eat amazing food to your hearts content!

Congratulations to the class of 2016, we did it!!! All of our hard work has paid off, now go out and celebrate!!!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
