Commencement marks the end of college and the beginning of 'adult' life, whatever that means.
2. Am I confused about the directions or is everyone else confused too?
I feel lost in the crowd and it's taking me a second to figure out how to get into the venue.
3. Alright, I see people in cap and gowns.
I'll follow them.
4. Well, security was easier than expected.
I thought I'd have to open my gown, but nope, the wand was waved over me and I was good to go.
7. How do my feet already hurt?
We've only been here 20 minutes but the waiting is making it worse. Keep moving to avoid the pain.
9. That's a lot of stairs!
I'm so happy I wore flat shoes because with my track record, I would have tripped down the stairs in heels.
10. Why are we still standing?
The Masters graduates are sitting but we're standing...I guess I'll stand to be courteous.
15. Sound like we're starting.
Talking means the beginning of the commencement ceremony.
16. How many people have already received their diploma covers?
I've lost count because I feel like I've heard over one hundred names already.
18. Am I going to mess up when it's my turn?
Let's hope not, but my hands are starting to get sweaty now.
19. Take note of what to do on stage.
The huge screen is both comforting to see how to accept the diploma and scary because everyone can see you.
22. Don't mess up on stage.
This would be the worse time to trip and fall.
