Can be either the greatest moment or the saddest. I thought it would be the greatest but looking back I would give up everything just for one day back in school. Crushes,
unfairness, homework, love, friends, idiot teachers,
recess, lunch, all that stuff. I miss it all. I find it strange to be looking
back right now on this. But I guess the saying they say is true. "You never knew how much fun being a kid really was until your older."

The day
you realize you just spent
13 years of your life to walk across a stage wearing a funny looking hat to
get a piece of paper.
Example:
What!?! I worked the equivilent of a
full time job for
13 years for a piece of paper that basically means I didn't fall asleep in class too much! There goes 13 years of my life that i'll never
get back. What's the point of graduation anyway?

This is it. You’ve made it. You survived high school. And now (hopefully) you’ll go on to do better and brighter things in life.
You either go to college, the military, or
just simply work at one of your parents jobs. Either way. What ever you end up doing you’ll either love it or hate it. Good luck.

The best/worst thing for a high-schooler to experience before they take their
leap into the real world. A
last chance for friends/crushes/
acquaintances/etc. to get together for the last time, and, hopefully, get phone numbers/e-mail addresses/Myspaces to talk to each other after they all leave high school.
Example:
At graduation, I tried to kiss my than girlfriend, she moved away from
the kiss, and told me that she was cheating on me someone else. She than proceeded to graduate while my dad took a picture of us standing together with our
diploma covers. Needless to say, my graduation sucked ass. Also, don't throw your caps when you graduate. I did, and got back one without a
graduating class pin.

The exact definition of Graduation is
catch 22. Just a giant
clusterfuck of emotions in which you don't know whether
to be happy or sad. Nervous, or excited. Ugh. Graduation sucks.
Example:
Example: "I
cried so much at my
graduation, I was scared to be leaving behind everything I'd ever known for 12 years of my life. But at the same time, excited to be starting something new and
adventurous."
