It’s graduation season!

When I graduated from high school, my family threw me a small graduation party. We had tons of baked ziti and salad, and a cake with a photo of me in my cap and gown printed on it (which someone carved a mustache on – I still suspect my father was the culprit).
Mustaches aside, my best memory from my graduation party was the “tips for the graduate” box my mom and I made together. We left it by the front door with a stack of index cards and pens, and party guests were supposed to write me sage advice for college and beyond.
Other than the illustrated directions from my cousin on how to do a keg stand, all of the advice I received was really touching and useful. So for you new Communities In Schools graduates out there, our wonderful Facebook fans, Twitter followers, and even a few of our own special staff members have turned this blog post into your “tips for the graduate” box for the day.
Check out all the advice they left to guide you through your new, bright futures. Enjoy!
