Raise your hand if you can't wait until graduation! I, for one, am incredibly excited to walk across that stage, grab my diploma and celebrate with family and friends. However, you definitely don't want to forget about one of the most important decisions of your life that comes before graduation day: your graduation cap design. Let's take a look at the eight most cliché themes for graduation caps, then you can decide whether or not you'd like to choose one of them. (Dibs on "Mean Girls!")

1. TV shows and movies

These types of caps display your personality by allowing others to see what kinds of shows or movies you're into. Or, perhaps they just prove how much time you spent binge-watching Netflix instead of studying. Either way, this theme is cute and fun, and you might even make a new friend who also loves your favorite series while waiting in the graduation line.

2. Inspirational quotes

Caps with lovely quotes about life, success or future plans either mean, "I believe in myself and I'm ready for whatever my destiny holds," or they mean, "Holy sh*t I am absolutely not ready to graduate, but my cap better make it seem like I am!" Whether you want to inspire others or you need to inspire yourself, this theme a great option.

3. Humorous or sarcastic

Maybe you're not a very fancy or crafty person, but you know how to make those around you laugh until they cry. How about showcasing your sense of humor by cracking a joke right on your cap? You'll certainly have random people coming up to compliment your cap all day if you go with a funny theme.

4. Desperation

Freaking out about finding a job after graduation or the amount of money you owe in student loans? No problem! This is the perfect opportunity to display your stresses, and hopefully, someone at graduation will be able to help you out. (Just kidding! good luck with that.)

5. Conceited

With a cap like this, everyone at graduation will definitely bow down as you cross the stage. You go, Glen Coco.

6. Alcohol-related

These types of caps show that you're fun, yet still successful. If your bar tabs this year cost more than your tuition, then alcohol-themed caps are for you. Also, I'd be willing to bet money that you'll be hammered at the graduation ceremony. To each their own!

7. Nostalgic


Graduation got you down? You may want to consider a cap portraying a little bit of nostalgia. From childhood cartoons to melancholy quotes, these caps will make you feel both happy and sad at the same time.

8. And finally, "Thanks, Mom and Dad"

If you've never truly thanked the people who pay your tuition in the four (or more) years you've attended college, what better way to make up for lost time by thanking them on your cap for everyone to see? Although this theme is slightly overdone, I'm sure they'd still appreciate the kind gesture.

So, which cap theme are you choosing?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
