Everyone you have to thank before graduation

Don’t forget that kid that always posted google docs

It is that tragic time of the year again: graduation season. As you steam your gown, decorate your cap, and snap those last minute graduation pics, it is important to remember everyone who made this moment possible for you – the people you could not have survived your last four years of college without and the people you can’t imagine surviving the rest of your life without.
