<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
It’s funny how quickly time passes us by. Some colleges have already held their graduation ceremonies and many more will pass out each earned academic gown and walk their students across that ceremonial stage this weekend. By the end of the month just about every center for higher learning will have gently pushed their graduating class of 2012 into the “real world.”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
In just a couple of weeks high schools will begin to host their graduations as well, and younger students around the country will come face to face with their chosen answer to that daunting question of “What to do next?” For countless students, this May and June represent a daunting, unforgettable, and unparalleled moment in their life.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
And yet… while it’s clear graduation season is important, knowing how to handle graduation season is anything but obvious.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
It’s easy to react cynically to graduation season. It’s easy to think the little rituals surrounding graduation (the shifting of the <b><a data-mce-href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/" href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/">graduation tassel</a></b> from one side of the cap to the other or the endless stressing over stumbling upon the perfect graduation gift ideas) make up the sum total of what this season is all about. It’s easy to believe graduation season is about nothing more than performing one ritual after another, living up to each cliché moment in turn, going through motions that can ring far more hollow than you imagined they would.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
In other words, it’s easy to approach graduation season with cynicism.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
Conversely, it’s just as easy to fixate on brainstorming <b><a data-mce-href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/" href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/">graduation party ideas</a></b>, to obsess endlessly over details such as graduation cap decoration, and to cling tenaciously to the memories of what you believe you’re leaving behind.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
In other words, it’s also easy to approach graduation season sentimentally.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
But just because something is “easy” doesn’t mean it’s “right,” an important note you need to keep in mind as you prepare to tackle the next suite of challenges heading your way. Neither doe-eyed sentiment nor shallow cynicism represents the best way to move through graduation season- or your future life for that matter.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
Instead, you need to combine the positive elements of these two mindsets. You need to participate deeply in your graduation season without losing sight of the broader perspective. You need to go ahead and gather your <b><a data-mce-href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/" href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/">graduation party supplies</a></b> without falling into the ridiculous concern that anything less than the “perfect” set of cups represents your last chance at doing right by the friends you’re leaving behind. You need to go ahead and laugh at some of the pomp and circumstance of the graduation ceremony without forgetting that, beneath all the rituals, these ceremonies really do speak to something deep and powerful and important.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
Decorating graduation caps may seem a little silly and frivolous but doing so draws you deeper into the recognition of your achievements. Your academic cap and gown may be nothing more than flimsy, unattractive garments you mercifully wear just the once, but without them you will never demonstrate how closely you belong to the little community you’ve traveled with these last few years.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
So… how should you handle your graduation season?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
Seriously, but not too seriously.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
With a broad perspective that can still zero in on tender little moments.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
With your beating heart, but also with your sense of humor intact.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
And guess what?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Times New Roman','Bitstream Charter',Times,serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">
The value of this difficult, seemingly contradictory, but entirely necessary approach might just extend well past May and June of 2012.</div>

One thing that is
bound to give goose bumps to every graduating student is the academic dress. The
graduating gown and the <b><a href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/">graduating caps</a></b> are the
traditional clothes worn on the day of graduation. To ensure that you look your
best on this important day and don’t do a faux pas, it is essential to keep the
following things in mind. The size of the graduation gown should of the proper
size, neither big nor small. Also, make certain that all the accompanying
accessories are also present. These include the graduation cap, tassels and
honor chords or stoles. Next step is to decide what you will wear beneath your
gown. This is important because a part of your leg will be visible below your
gown. So, to play safe, a white shirt and a pair of trousers can never go
wrong. This can be very helpful, especially when the gown is accompanied by a
hood. Otherwise, people sometimes also resort to dresses, but do it at your own
risk. On the D-day, iron the gown before wearing it as it is usually wrinkled. Put
on your graduation gown in the same way as you would wear a jacket. Then use
safety pins to attach the hood to the <b><a href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/">graduation gown</a></b>. Finally, wear
your honor chords and stoles by draping them around the neck. Place your graduation
cap and the tassel as you feel comfortable and you are all set to make a
statement. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Graduation is an exciting time of the year, one filled with
boundless opportunities and a little well-deserved celebration!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If one of your loved ones is graduating it’s natural to want
to throw them a <a href="http://graduationcaps.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">graduation party</a> and to even give them a graduation gift or
two. But if you want to really get into the spirit of the season, you will hand
out some parting gifts to everyone who attends your party! Consider giving away
a few of these <b><a href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/">graduation gift ideas</a></b> to make sure
everyone feels the love:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Vouchers
and certificates: </b> Sure, they may not
be the most original or the most personal gifts out there, but if you’re just
looking to hand out a lot of items to party guests, you may want to go the
general route to make sure everyone ends up with something they like. Buy a
handful of certificates from a handful of different establishments and let
people pick which they’d like the most, and your guests will leave smiling! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><b>Decorations
for graduation cap tassels: <a href="http://graduationcaps.posterous.com/" target="_blank">Graduation tassel</a> </b>is a good idea if you’re throwing a graduation party before the
actual ceremony takes places. Buy a bunch of tassel decorations, leave them out
on a table, and let everyone pick the decoration they like the best! These
decorations don’t need to be just for the tassels themselves; you can also
offer supplies for graduation cap
decoration or items to attach to <b><a href="http://www.tasseltoppers.com/">graduation gown</a></b>.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>Meaningful
books: </b>Ok, so recent grads just might recoil at the thought of picking up
another volume after weeks of cramming for exams and writing end-of-term
essays, but the right book will make a great positive impression during this
sensitive time in a young person’s life. Pick a piece of <i>fiction</i> that has a strong message, that revolves around "coming of
age,"or that merely provides a little insight, perspective, and humor, and
don’t be surprised if your guests start sending you “thank you!” emails over
the coming weeks! </li>
