10 Songs To Listen To At Your Graduation

By Ryan O'Connell,

7. “I Love College” by Asher Roth

I’ve actually never heard this song until now and it’s sort of terrible so I apologize in advance. That being said, it’s sort of accurate. Even though Asher Roth is referring to a particularly fratty version of college, he nails the whole sex, drinking, and eating crappy food part. No matter where you go to college, people will be getting drunk and eating pizza. The only differences are the location of the school, the clothing style of your friends, and the drug preferences.

I'm a brat.

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
