Today, I wrote out my calendar for the next four weeks and it was then I realized that graduation was just around the corner, creeping up every so quickly. And as per tradition, graduates decorate the cap to summarize the culminating four years.

Whether it be timeless quotes about success or a simple ode to Mom and Dad, let these eleven graduation caps guide you through the waning days of irresponsibility:

1. Because even after 16 years of school, you still don't know what you want to be when you grow up:

2. Because Yeezy was the soundtrack to your four years:

3. Because in the end, it's really not that hard:

4. Because all the drama and the late-nights in the library seem so little compared to this moment:

5. Because your best memories are the ones that DIDN'T happen in the library:

6. Because you want that little piece of paper to commemorate all of your hard work and success:

7. Because you wouldn't have made it without a little help from your F.R.I.E.N.D.S.:

8. Because no matter where the future takes you, you will always find your way back home:

9. Because with great knowledge, comes great debt:

10. Because we're all wondering the same thing:

11. Because in the end, they were standing behind you the whole way:

Whatever graces your graduation cap this year, may it represent these last four years and all of your future goals. Enjoy these last few waning weeks and the sprinkling of memories tucked into them.

Say yes to all the things you still want to try.

Stay out too late and drink one more beer with those friends you're going to miss.

Connect with the teacher that inspires you - they've helped you get this far.

Thank your parents and friends and all of those in your support system who have stood by you and helped you get to this moment.

And brush some dirt off of your shoulder, because in the end, you did this for you.

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2016. We did it!
