Graduation Gifts

My high school graduation day started like most others'. I woke up ridiculously early due to nerves. I showered, got dressed in an outfit I'd picked out weeks before, obsessed over my hair and how it would look under my graduation cap for half an hour, and did my best to make my tent of a graduation gown look somewhat flattering. I posed for pictures in my parents' living room, called my best friend to coordinate our arrival to the high school, and made sure my camera was in my purse.

And then I threw up.

To suffer from food poisoning on your last day of high school is just a cruel joke. My dad had taken us out for a celebratory dinner the night before to a restaurant that shall remain nameless, and something I had eaten was at war with my stomach...and it was winning.

As we walked down the street to my high school (in the rain, I might add...why didn't my parents sympathize with my condition and at least offer to drop me off?), I began to count the seconds until I could pass out unconscious in my bed. Eight thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine...

Imagine a bunch of sweaty high school students wearing itchy robes and hats packed like sardines in a gymnasium for two hours. Throw in a 102-degree fever and the ever-present feeling that you're going to upchuck all over the girl sitting next to you. Keep in mind your parents are somewhere in the sea of proud faces that smile down at your graduating class, snapping pictures and recording videos that will capture this hellish day and serve to remind you of its torment forevermore.

I waited through the 800-some-odd graduating names that were called, managed to walk across the stage and grab my fake diploma without tripping (our real diplomas would be mailed to us at a later date), and sat through meaningless speeches, counting all the while: one thousand, eight hundred and seventy-two...

After everyone had tossed their caps in the air (I kept mine just in case I needed to use it as a bucket in the near future), hordes of overenthusiastic parents began to stream onto the gymnasium floor. Hugging families blocked every exit, trapping us inside.

The next twenty minutes were a feverish blur. I'm fairly sure I pushed someone's grandpa out of the way at some point, but I didn't look back to check. Somehow I found my parents and dragged them outside, into the now-refreshing rain and down the street towards our house.

Two...one...and I fell into bed, my graduation cap and gown crumpled in a pile on the floor.
