For Second Semester Seniors Everywhere

Over the weekend, I got a slightly disturbing text from my mom, asking "did u get your cap n gown." While I thought a nonchalant "no" was enough, my phone blew up almost immediately.

Thanks to my semi-unconscious state, the only words I remember were a jumble, something along the lines of "deadline!.... bookstore...last week...your grandmother..." and maybe even something about  "walking down the aisle naked." It was all a blur; I don't really want to talk about it.

But if you found yourself in a similar conundrum to my own, never fear. After a quick call to Don at the bookstore, I quickly learned the following:

  • caps and gowns are still available
  • they're a ridiculous $61.25 (but eco-friendly!)
  • you buy them downstairs but then have to head upstairs to actually pick your goodies
Maybe next time the bookstore should publicize the whole limited time only offer a little better for those Seniors with better things to worry about.
