This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I skipped as much as my parents would let me get away with, because in my mind, walking for graduation is give the graduate's family and friends a chance to formally congratulate them. I hated every minute of it, but I can deal with that for one day to make my family happy.

When I finished school, I was already working full-time in my career (internship turned into a FT opportunity), so walking didn't feel valuable at all.
