I send you my personal congratulations, mon ami. Now you will probably spend more years of education for more handshakes and a diploma on the wall. C'est la vie!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Congratulations cuppajoe!
This must be an exciting day for you, I guess!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Hopefully you got more out of your schooling than you say. You learned how to read and write, and all sorts of other things, although you may not of appreciated it at the time.
Also congrats that you have exactly 300 posts as I write this.
Congratulations my friend.I'm afraid I'll be getting the same handshake next year.Man I'm getting old.
Undoubtedly. I am considering attending Háskóli Íslands (that's the University of Iceland, if you don't speak the language) after I'm done with college. College consists of a bunch of humanities (including English Lit, of course). Thank you very much for your congratulations.Originally Posted by Pendragon

Don't make me laugh Ry. When you get to be my age, then you're starting to get old.

Congratulations cuppajoe! Enjoy resting on your laurels a bit and enjoy basking in the feeling of accomplishment.

Congratulations Cuppajoe, life starts here. I personally think college gets so much more exciting. Relax and have fun a bit, you probably haven't realized you have quite an accomplishment on your hands.

Many congrats, hun! Hope they were at least fun and productive years and hope that those that follow continue to be
You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.
Congratulations!
Can't wait to finish up next year.

Congrats on making it--that's more than many do. Hope your college experience is a good one.
I did get my piece of paper, but decided to forego the handshake, not being real big on ceremony. On graduation night I was forced to call in sick, having been diagnosed with the unusual and highly contagious affliction, flatheadgownatosis.
