Congrats! Bring bottled water. Mine was 2 hours long and I fell asleep from the near hundred degree heat with no shade.

Carry some good reading material up the sleeve of your gown.

I was seated behind the college president as he was handing out diplomas last weekend. As he handed one guy his diploma, the kid hugged the president, and then reached around and grabbed his ass. Those of us who could see it could barely contain our laughter. Don't know if he was just trying to throw the man off kilter or if he had a real liking for his ass.

don, I graduated last year as well.... I brought my treo with me, and I set the backlight to a minimum. It was fun texting those people that I knew, but werent around me.... My buddy was really lucky. He had the EVdo on his phone, and he was watching TV the whole time. It was a couple of hours long, but I was mucho happy when it was over.



Its a good feeling walking across that stage. that, and the party at your friends house that lasts all night kicks ass!

Don, on my last day in High School, I left a gnarly black tire mark when I peeled out of my parking space. It was sweeet! I left my mark on the school. you do any such things?

Ahh graduating high school. Not a care in the world, giving the school a big middle finger, yeah it was good. The last couple of months were fun!


I like it when they keep the graduation short, I forget how long mine was but it wasn't that long.

I do remember I was almost late, because I was working on a boat, then then I ended up stripping parts off a 420SEL I wasn't expecting. I was like damn it I want these lights but I need to walk in 1/2 an hour. I got their with my car full of 420 parts, and more or less cleaned up.

There were only 85 in my graduating class - You would think the whole thing would be over in in an hour. Nope! Everybody had their school bio read. Wasn't too terrible since we all knew each other.

I had 495 in my graduating class, I think it was a couple hours. Unfortunately most of my senior year and graduation were a bit blurry. Now that I think of it, so were the vast majority of my six years at UConn.
