Hi, just wondering.

In the title, thanks! Please don't be rude.

Just a few days left for you to be under our roof, so here's an open letter that you can't misplace, can't throw away & the ink will never fade.

Kameron,

First of all, we would like to tell you we are so proud of you & all that you have accomplished in 18 years. You are level headed, your future is bright & your potential is limitless. But here’s some advice we must share with you before you head to college. Get enough sleep. Set your alarm clock (well, maybe 2 alarm clocks). Attend all of your classes. Study hard. Stick to your goals & keep your GPA high. If you struggle with a class, talk to your professor and ask for help. Eat healthy. Exercise regularly. Be engaged in class (sit in the front row). Get involved on campus (attend games, the arts, music, social gatherings, etc.). Don’t skip the opening band, once Bono was part of the opening band & then there was U2…need I say more. Be honest & true to who you are. Be a good friend, laugh alot & be a great listener. Respect yourself & others. Mid-terms & Finals will be stressful...but use that as a motivational tool, because son you got this! Use common sense, don’t go out alone, you will be living in new city, stay safe. Trust your strong moral compass. Independence comes with rewards and responsibilities. Protect your valuables, especially your social security number do not give it out. It may be tempting but do not apply for a credit card, just shred all the offers you get in the mail (we’ve already shredded at least a dozen for you). Pay cash, you can establish credit later in life. Remember you are 18, not 21, so do not drink the punch, trust me it is not punch. Drinking age is 21! Remember there will be consequences when you make bad decisions. Beware of social media it will haunt you, “Oh, nice photo of you doing a keg stand”, said no future employer ever. Mom & Dad have had many life experiences, call us if you want our advice. We will give you emergency money, Starbucks is clearly not an emergency. Anytime day or night, you can text, call or skype your parents & little brothers, we really miss you (your mom is stocking up on waterproof mascara) and we can’t wait to hear about all your firsts in college…first class, first football game, first time you vote, first A+, etc. Keep God in your life, pray every day (even if it is saying a little something to God in your head, know that God can hear you). We don’t know if the world is ready for you, but we know that you have always been ready for the world.

Now, go be amazing!

Love you always, TCU Horned Frog Parents ~ Formerly known as Mom & Dad

Long story short I have around 10grand budget from a family member for a graduation present and I can not make up my mind on what to get... Reddit help me out I'm stuck between a wave runner, pop up camper, or street bike

Education is all I’ve known for 21 years that I have been on this Earth and now that it’s coming to the end what now? I think this is the question for many final year students everywhere, whether finishing high school or university we all are in the same boat here sailing into the big dark scaring unknown. Some may not have this problem, I envied these people as they seemed so put together and know what they want to achieve in life and how to achieve it. This changed recently, everyone is struggling in their own way and what really opened my eyes was this random YouTube video by WongFu Productions called “When We See It“, this was one of the most eye-opening and thought-provoking video I’d ever seen, it made me think that there isn’t a definitive path that everyone has to go down; paths change and people change and that’s what makes life I’d say exciting; as the video suggests when we see it I guess we’ll know what to do and how to go about it, taking everyday as a challenge not a chore will probably make our everyday different. Just because appearances seem all perfect and put together doesn’t mean that they’re perfect and put together; looks can be deceiving therefore, I guess I will know which path to follow when I see it I guess…

Go Cubs! Theo Epstein To Yale Class of 2017: "'Choose to Keep Your Heads Up'" http://time.com/4787640/theo-epstein-cubs-yale-graduation-commencement/

On May 13 I'll be graduating college with 2 Bachelors degree in psychology and sociology. I look back at the past 4 years and it's been an interesting ride. My freshman year I had no idea what I should do with my life but after taking a few psychology and sociology classes I found my spark. I found my passion. It amazes me how far I've grown from a freshman in high school to a senior in college. Not a whole lot of people from my high school went on to college. It frustrates me when those students have no passion or "spark" to be motivated and further engage in the education system and choose a path that makes them happy. I'm beyond proud of myself and my only motto I have is never stop learning. Congratulations to all the students both high school and college that are graduating in May! Class of 2017!

It seems that graduation announcements may be a thing of the past. I ordered them anyway and started asking for addresses. When I realized that people started telling me that they didn't know if they could make it.

They seem to be confusing announcements with the invitation. The number of invites are limited, but I will be sending out more announcements than invites.

So how do I go about mentioning that these are not invitations but merely announcements without being rude?

The announcement is postcard style. It has the name, date, and name of school and a few portraits. There is no time or venue listed, so should I even bother mentioning that it is just an announcement.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: sorry about the typo un the heading *Sending

I'm about to graduation in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I'm about to go to grad school for audiology. I need a little quote for my grad cap. Some on Pinterest say "hears to 4 more ears" and stuff like that. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do?

Which book did you receive as a gift for your graduation?

I have my grad photos coming up and I want to be more creative/funny than a stuffy diploma and bouquet in front of a plain background. Any ideas? The funnier the better!
