The 21 Stages Of Decorating Your Graduation Cap

It's that time of year. Graduation is quickly approaching and for all the graduates out there, it's time for one of the biggest decisions. Time to decide how you're gonna decorate your graduation cap. When you finally get it, you get completely overwhelmed with ideas, and realize that you are might not be the best at crafting...but that's okay it's the effort that counts, right?

1. I've officially got my cap and gown! Is this real?

2. Crap...this means I'm going to have to decorate it soon...I need to seriously think about this now...

I've dreamed about it, but not seriously...How does one even begin to go about designing their cap? Are there any classes offered on how to do this?

3. Lemme sketch out a few designs.

Yeah, that looks good, right?

4. This is harder than it looks.

Spongebob made this look so easy.

5. I think this looks okay...or does it?

6. Crap lemme get a second opinion.

7. Okay, I think I like this. Time to put it on the mortar board.

8. What if I mess up...can I fix it? Do they sell any extra caps?

via Imgur

Those puffy paints are no joke. No undo button if you mess it up.

9. I'm gonna practice on a piece of paper first.

Good idea. Never try to go for it on the first try.

10. Oh thank goodness I practiced. That would've gone really badly.

via JoyReactor

Paint. Everywhere.

11. Alright I've been practicing for awhile...I'm gonna try it for real this time.

12. Deep breath...go.

via Teen

13. Hey, this isn't that bad.

via Tumblr

14. Oh gosh my hand won't stop shaking.

15. Crap that letter looks weird...I'm gonna try and fix it. Should I touch it, or not?

via Tumblr

16. I'm not gonna touch it.

Pro tip: Do not touch it. You'll only make it worse.

17. Okay, I'm just gonna keep going...

via Giphy

18. I really wish my hand would stop shaking...

19. I hope people can't tell my hand was shaking when this is all done.

20. I got through one word!

via ReactionGifs

21. Time to do the next 15.


via Faze

And let the cycle begin all over again.

Through all the stress of decorating your cap, it becomes a work of art that you are proud of. You can't wait to show it off on graduation day, and brag to all your friends about how artsy you are. I mean, look at that cap - no one can deny it, right?

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
