YouTube

With graduation right literally around the corner, everyone needs a graduation playlist to listen to with your friends, as you may be parting ways, at least for a little while.

So, you need a graduation playlist that will make you all cry (both happy and sad tears). So, I've so generously compiled a list of songs for your 2018 Graduation because I'm sure you've got other things on your mind, like what you're gonna do with the rest of your life and how you're going to survive without seeing these gems of friends every single day.

Warning: The first few WILL make you cry, the next couple are there to make you nostalgic, and the last will (*hopefully*) make you say something like "yay, growing up" or "glad that's over" or AT LEAST make you happy-ish.....

1. "Graduation" - Vitamin C

2. "Time of Your Life" - Green Day

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
