Graduation ’ D o n’ts d n a
Do s
It’s here. The night you’ve been looking forward to since, like, forever. After 4 years of high school, 13 years of learning and 18 years of living, it’s finally here. Your high school graduation. It’s not like it’s a big deal or anything. And, in an effort to make your evening as perfect as possible, we wanted to offer you a few helpful dos and don’ts to keep in mind while wearing the cap and gown. 22
CELEBRATE GRADUATION
Don’t drink or do anything that will
alter your attitude, your behavior and your ability to remember every moment of your amazing night.
Do take pictures. Lots of them.
Take them with mom, dad, your sibs, your grandparents, your BFFs and whoever else is willing to stand next to you and mug for the camera. You’ll be glad to have them.
Don’t be late. The last thing you
need is a tear in your gown from where you tripped after trying to sprint across the parking lot in a flowy garment.
Do wear comfortable shoes.
You’ll be on your feet a lot that day and presumably, at some point, you’ll be walking across a stage with all eyes on you. And you don’t want to recreate Jennifer Lawrence’s famous fall at the 2013 Oscars.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Bad hair
day? A pimple? A broken nail? It’s all small stuff that you likely won’t even remember in the future. Just remember, right after Jennifer Lawrence fell on the stairs, she was handed an Academy Award.
