Graduation for those in High School as well as College seems to be here already, is there any advice for the graduates?

Now that you've graduated -- you still don't know everything, so shut up and listen -- there's still lots for you to learn.

Your credit is probably the most important thing in the world, don't go crazy with credit cards, spend wisely, pay off your debt, including all student loans.

The real world is not like those hallowed halls where you got your education, it's better. Don't forget that.

You will make tons of mistakes, admit them, and move on from them,.

If you're a high school graduate who plans on going to college, enjoy it while it lasts, because it's sure as hell not going to get any easier or less complicated.

Thank you
I am graduating in ten days with a double major. Its kinda surreal.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

is the time after graduation before a 'proper' job the right time to go travelling? Possibly got an opportunity to go to Japan teaching English for a year, and my dad's all for it after he went to Dubai when he was young, but frankly I'm scared shitless.

Think I should do it?

It sounds like an awesome opportunity, but the real question is, do you want to go? How long would you be staying there?

I have to opportunity to go to Japan this summer to see someone all expenses paid. But I have to work and I don't like spending other people's money.

enjoy life. simply.

It would be for a year...
I'm in two minds about it because I'm scared of it (not lived away from home, even for Uni) but at the same time, frankly there's not a lot going on round here for me either. No girlfriend, some good friends, no amazing job or superb social life...

As you can see I'd like to go, but i'm also afraid of me getting across there and not speaking much Japanese and just being a useless Gaijin and wanting to come home after a week...

Im about to graduate. I want to go up on a stage with teary eyes and say how I cannot express my emotion with words but only in song. Then I'm going to take my cap and gown off then..... break out singing Right Said Fred... Im Too Sexy! You can try this too!

I already went through my graduation ceremony recently and it went like this:

Principal's speach was about twenty minutes long and waas all about Golf, I kid you not. It felt like it would never end.

Validicotian: shorter speach about how we must aspire as young adults.

Soluditorian: I really wasn't paying attention anymore...

Class President: Got my attention back with her speach. Although this is not surprising.. She was voted class clown. She reminded us of how we all worked together to stuff 30,000 plastic spoons into the ceiling tiles down the band room hallway. And no one understood that but our class and the administration, everyone else was quite in the dark.

After all that we received our deploma's and one member of our class shot everyone with silly string, he was taken aside to talk to after wards.

It feels good to be out of there.

I need some advice:
Should I shave my head for graduation? My ears kind of stick out... It's probably not the best look for me. But there is something to be said for being remembered.

You should do something that results in blood spill.
