How were your exams?
How many did you pass?
Do you actually remember what you learned?
How many all-nighters did you pull?
Did you use them to study or party?
Hopefully study, or you won't be able to graduate.
Are you positive you're going to graduate?
Or will you stay at school for another year or two?
Just think, you could be the next Van Wilder.
Sorry we said that, it doesn't sound promising.
If you do graduate, will you move out?
Are you going to stay in Connecticut?
Will you live with your parents?
Do they even want you there?
They probably do. No worries. But if they don't, then best of luck.
Maybe you can move in with your girlfriend.
Are you guys going to stay together after graduation?
Long distance relationships are hard and gas is expensive.
Does that bother you?
Will you do anything for love?
But you won't do that?
Who else are you going to celebrate with when you get a job?
Do you even have a job?
You better find one fast - the market doesn't look so great.
Did college prepare you for working at a job - even finding one, for that matter?
Are you happy with the decisions that you've made in your years at UConn?
Your parents are surely happy about them - the good ones they know about at least.
They will be beaming as you get your diploma today.
Oh hey - did you forget you're graduating already?
It's time to grow up and face the real world.
Are you ready?
Sure you are.
Now go get that diploma. Congratulations. You earned it.
