'Oh my god! Its here, its finally here' I thought to myself. Its graduation day, the one day I've been working my ass off towards for the past four fucking years of university. I could feel it, now is the time I can stick my middle finger up to the world and laugh to all those people who doubted me "fuck you bitches, I got here!". I scan the grand hall, around me is filled with smiles, laughter and the sense of overwhelming pride. Prospective parents gleaming with over dramatised tears of joy for the moment when they're little baby's name to be called out and handed their certificate. One parent in particular stands out from the crowd. Mandy Evans mother Sherri, your typical dumbass trophy wife, makes me laugh to watch her boobs do the talking as men ogle her so overtly!
Men are strange creatures - so easily turned on by plastic implants and oompa loompa tans.
"Lily Knowles....Lily Knowles?" A distant voice became reality as I snapped back into the room. "Earth to Lily Knowles" I looked up and there was my Journalism tutor waving at me gesturing me to collect my certificate. Embarrassment struck as I made my way through the crowd of graduates as they sniggered at my obvious display of daydreaming. I approached my tutor on stage as she came forward, shook my hand and gave me a scroll. An uproar of cheering came from my classmates as they chanted "Li-ly, Li-ly, Li-ly, Li-ly" I laughed and exploded bright red as I shot off stage and returned to my seat. 'I've done it! I can't believe it, I've got an actual degree in Journalism' my mind screamed out to me. Next thing on my mind getting completely drunk and celebrate the night away.
After the ceremony me, Nina, Megan, Matt and Cameron all agreed to go out in the evening to celebrate our start into the big wide world. Nina is my flatmate so we both made our way to the flat. "This is unreal Lilz, seriously were not little kids no more, we've got our degrees and ready to pursue our careers" bellowed Nina. I looked at her thinking 'she is so right, I can do whatever the hell I want when I want' I smiled at her and simply said "party time!". We cheered and skipped our way into the lounge, threw off our robes, switched the music on and danced in our tight graduation suits.
[Door bell rings] "hold up babe, door I'll be right back, keep swaying your pretty little ass" I joke with Nina as I give her ass a hard slap. We laugh and I run to the door, I opened it to a reveal a loud raucous cheer from Cameron "Let's do this like our life actually depended on it, we NEED to celebrate". "Get in and join us for a dance you rejects" I giggle as Cameron entered with a crate of beer bottles and with Megan and Matt following. I shout out to my friends to signal I was going for a shower and getting ready for the most outlandish night out we'd had in a very long time ... Well since the start of exam period anyway.
