Wondering what you’ll do during those graduation speeches? Here are some ways to distract yourself during the ceremony:

• Keep tally of how many times President Lefton says “excellence.” For every tally, that’s one shot at the bar later on.
• Try this. It’s called “Graduation Bingo.” Every time someone says something or does something that’s mentioned in one of the squares, you can mark it off. The first one with a Bingo gets free drinks that night.
• Scan the crowd and pick out each person who looks like a celebrity.
• Count how many students you actually know and how many have fallen asleep, including graduates.
• Rate everyone’s shoes — one to five. One means they have good style. Five means they don’t at all.
