Graduation Memes That Are Totally Relatable

Whether you're willing to admit it to yourself or not, graduation a seriously emotional milestone. You're excited because you want to get the hell out of wherever you were, and you're nostalgic because you're sad to leave at the same time. You're scared because change is unsettling, you're nervous because what's ahead might be unknown. And you're exhausted, because you worked your ass off to get where you are, and feel like you seriously deserve the biggest party in the world. And yet, at the same time, you're kind of like — "wait, did I really graduate?" All of these feeling buzzing at the same time can be very overwhelming — but don't worry, no one understands you better than the internet, and these memes about graduation are there for you.

Just when you thought that no one understand exactly how you were feeling, you saw a meme on the internet that somehow knew you better than you knew yourself. That's the thing about memes: Sure, they're occasionally eyeroll-worthy, but at the same time, they're these low-key little gems that help us remember that we're all the same. We all go through the same rollercoasters, and so they're reminders that there's always someone else out there who's feeling what you're feeling, and has gone ahead to make a meme out of it.

So for your mixed emotional pleasure, I've put together a collection of memes that will hopefully really hit home for you during your 2017 graduation:
