After spending six years of your life in school, your graduation day cannot come quick enough.
And when it does, it comes with a big bag of mixed emotions (and usually cans on the bus).
It's a day for all the family as you celebrate the fact you made it through and will finally be leaving that hell hole.
And no graduation day is complete without one of these:
So many photos. In the school, in your house, getting ready, with your friends.
You take enough photos to last you till your wedding, and then some.
Usually from said photos, and from saying goodbye to people you've secretly hated all this time.
And probably several times.
But it takes you one or two drinks to warm up to this idea.
It's both awkward and exhilarating and you take lots of pics as evidence.
You reveal far too much and instantly regret it.
Topped off with the orange face and hands to match.
You want them to hide down the back, but they're up front and centre trying to get the best pics from the best angles.
And you're not really sure why.
A lot.
And put your arms around each other and sway nostalgically.
For such an important day, there is way too little food breaks.
During the ceremony, at dinner, on the bus.
The hangover's worth it.
"What's the next step for me? Do I have one?"
But forget about the million and one clips in your hair.
School is over and you're ready for the night.
It comforts you through the hangover and beyond.
