Okay, so your favorite ponderer is back, but I'm not here to ponder for once. Surprising, I know. I have chosen to release my graduation playlist since it is that time of the year. This was a playlist I made when I graduated from high school last year. It's crazy to think that it'll be a year in only a few months. This playlist was different tunes I was listening to towards the end of high school and some old favorites. I listened to it with my brother on the way to my graduation as our soundtrack before we arrived.

I'm going to also take a moment to just say congratulations to all the graduates! You're on to big things, and you're going to change the world. During my last years of high school, I was taught something great which made me super motivated when it came to graduating: "No job will hire you unless you're a graduate. If you graduate, it shows that you can start something and finish it." This was a quote that stuck with me for the last years of high school, and I hope it inspires you in the way that it inspired me.

So, here's the tunes I listened to up to and before I graduated. It's a momentous occasion, so don't waste a second. This one of many steps on your journey, as it's all part of the bigger picture.
