Graduation Day, As Told By 'Friends'
sfexaminer

Graduation day, a day you have been thinking about for the past four years. For some, they are ready to get things over with, but for others, it is a very bittersweet day. All around, though I think it is a day of excitement for everyone. The following GIFs by "Friends" accurately depict how graduation day is.

The night before graduation when you lay in your bed and realize you are graduating tomorrow and it feels like the night before Christmas.

When you have the early graduation so you have to wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready.

You hate to get up early, but then you realize it is GRADUATION DAY!!!!

Next, you arrive at the place where you are graduating and have to stand for at least an hour. The whole time you are standing in line you are thinking why did I choose to wear these heels?

You soon forget about your shoes and start to realize how fast this day really came.

Next thing you know you, pomp and circumstance is playing and you realize that the time has come to walk in and to graduate.

You are now sitting in an auditorium or building, surrounded by your friends and classmates and you realize how much you are going to miss them!

The speeches have finished and now it is the moment everyone has been waiting for, they are starting to call names. You walk up to the stage and they say your name and it is one of the most exciting moments ever!

All the names have been called and you have officially graduated! You walk outside into a sea of people to find your family and friends. If you are like me you felt like you were 5 years old and had lost your mom in the grocery store.


You finally find everyone and now the photo shoot begins. After all the pictures and excitement dies down you say goodbye to your friends and it is a really sad moment because you love them so much! It is OK though because you know you will see them at graduation parties tonight.

Finally, comes one of the best parts, graduation parties! Where you will receive gifts and eat amazing food to your hearts content!

Congratulations to the class of 2016, we did it!!! All of our hard work has paid off, now go out and celebrate!!!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
