Remember, the future is now. Your dedication and hard work will fuel all hope. Thank you!

Let's face it, whether you are in one or simply celebrating the achievement of a loved one, graduation ceremonies are long and boring. Not anymore though!

We propose for your consideration the Graduation Drinking Game!

As with most classic drinking games, there will be a concerted emphasis on listening. When you hear certain words it shall be your cue to imbibe. Didn't you learn anything in college? The adult beverage(s) of choice should be carefully chosen with regional weather conditions taken into account. A cold, wet, miserable ceremony calls for something that should create a fire in your belly (whiskey, brandy, tequila...maybe all of it mixed brown-brown-and brown style, hmmm).

Blistering hot, melty-styled ceremonies will certainly call for an icy concoction (margaritas, long island ice tea, mai tai...maybe all of it mixed, you get it). Unless your institution of higher (or drunker) learning has invited the President it should be somewhat easy to smuggle your adult beverage in a water bottle or cooler.

When you hear the following words or phrases, slug!:
Hard Work
Future
Hope
Remember
Thank You
Dedication
Now

and during the ceremony, anybody with a name that begins in X,Y or Z

Who needs a graduation party when graduation can be the party? Congratulations Class of 2011! Good luck....you will certainly need a lot of it.
