Pete and I are at odds this morning. Pete thinks it's OK to leave graduation early, I however, think you need to stay for the entire ceremony if you go.

Nearly 2,500 young men and women will be getting their hard earned college degrees this weekend at graduation ceremonies. SCSU on Friday, St. Ben's on Saturday, and St. John's on Sunday.

My sister, Rebecca, is graduating this year and as her older sister I feel it's my duty to offer her some advice for her upcoming adventure.

We've all cheered for someone at some time in our lives right? If we are proud of someone, we have to let them know. One mom did this and it landed her in jail.

There are those times in your life that you watch a video and it just makes you tear up a little bit. This is one of those videos.

Apparently they do high school graduation a little differently in Taichung, Taiwan. Instead of just throwing on ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ and reading out a list of names, Ming-Dao High principal Albert T. Wang emerges onto a smoke-filled stage dressed in a full Iron Man costume and delivers a speech in not one, but two languages. His message: “Believe in yourself. You are also Iron Man.”
