The season of graduations is upon us! Everyone take a deep breath & get settled in because it’s going be what feels like a good 7 hours of speeches. Yep, some might dread it but as one reminded me, “Jenn, it’s not about you!”
So, Fine. Who’s it about then? If you ask me, the students are primo, sure. The teachers though?! Those are the real MVPS!
Now that we have given credit where credit is due, lets explore. Here's Jenn’s graduation survival guide:
1. Pack a flask. Jk. Or am I?
2. Perspective. Ok, it might stink for you sitting in a hot gym for so long, but think about the kid with the last name “Zimmerman”. He's been STANDING far longer than anyone in the place. Just be glad you're sitting.
3. Be understanding. Sure, those loud families are obnoxious when they’re screaming for their kid. Oh but wait, your graduate is about to walk. Break out those cow bells!
Pretty sure all of the fluff pieces that occupy the ceremony are meant to invoke positivity and patience. Maybe we could all learn a little something. Grab your flask, do your best, it's not all about you, and remember those programs are for fanning. Stay cool, class of 2022!
