For four years our bodies have quivered in anticipation as we await the intellectual menarche of receiving our diplomas, but now no amount of Freudian exploration can get us pumped up to receive those tightly coiled cylinders of academic hubris. I had always assumed I would attend my own graduation, but then again, maybe I won’t.
