If This Is True, Why Is My Tuition So Much?

According to a recent report, Maryland charges high schools as much as $13,000 to use the Comcast Center for graduation. In fact, it used to be as much as $55,000. For our wealthy readers, that's a lot of money. Way too much money.

 

I'm a huge fan of Maryland sports and have s

Congrats to Univesity of Oregon Grads!
The Senior Send Off allowed graduating students to sign up for U of O's alumni association... ... and enjoy some final moments with friends. Not kidding about a lot of extra chairs. Family photo shoots are every which way. The streets are filled with caps and gowns floating toward the festivities. Families can purchase flowers for the grads at one of many flower stands on campus. Congrats to Univesity of Oregon Grads! This senior dances along to the band at Senior Send Off. He's planning on working for U of O's physical education department after graduating. Senior Elena Pressprich tries on her cap a few days early. "Now that I have to leave I realize how much I like this place," she says.
Campus was filled this week with parents, grandparents, friends and alumni. It was also filled with signs, balloons, and a lot of extra chairs. University of Oregon seniors graduated on Friday, June 13th. Congrats grads! (U of O campus)

This past Saturday Graduation ceremonies took place all over campus for all of the Unversity of Oregon departments. I attended the ceremony for the Deprtment of English to watch my roommate graduate. It was definitly kinda weird to watch so many people make the journey into the real world. (Kinight Library, University of Oregon)
Bill Clinton Crushes Thousands of UCLA Grads

Are we sensing a pattern here?  Just like his wife, Bill disappoints.

Graduating With Your Momma
Being away from the parental units was probably one of the biggest perks of going away to college. I remember feeling totally liberated about not having to worry about a curfew or eating my vegetables – it was great! But what if my parents wanted to go back to school…with me?

Congrats to the class of 2008 who received their diplomas yesterday. Unfortunately we were unable to attend but from the looks of it everything seems to have gone smoothly.

Want a Job? Good Luck.
It's hard to get a job, that's not a surprise.

Just ask
Chris Van Horn, who just graduated with an engineering degree (KOMU-TV did):

Oh, there IS still people o

Overheard: Hopefully the last thing I ever have to write about graduation
Overheard outside of Hundo last night:

Street reveler #1: Do you think the graduation speaker was supposed to be Charlton Heston and the University just didn't realize he died until it was too late?
Street reveler #2: Too bad reanimation doesn't exist yet.

Too bad indeed, Street Reveler #2. Although I can't imagine that Charlton Heston would have been less controversial.
