Cap and Gown Aftermath

I, along with many other people in the world, have just graduated from just about twelve years of government required education.Just like the stereotypical graduation ceremony that we all dream/dread about, we got the oversize gown, and the ill-fitting square hat with the tassel that constantly decides to party in every orifice on your face. So as we all parade the stage and get our THS High School Diploma, we go in the street and show off our clear awesomeness.

But the real problem happens when you come down off of your "party high" and get home. You start to think "What am I supposed to do with these" you can't just give it away, or throw it out, because people will think that you have "No school pride." (and you may not, I don't judge) so while "Cleaning" my room, I come across my cap and gown, so i start thinking about what to do with it. Are you supposed to iron it, or put it in a display case that you keep under lock and key with an armed guard with a laser grid security system, but that's a bit over the top.
so while frantically looking for a hanger, I find one and somehow position it on to the hanger

Following the advice of Nate Levesque (who can be found at The Philosophy of Nate, a rather great blog)," You must hang it in your closet, and look at it proudly every so often." Which i took as some good advice and proceeded to do.
Although there was a cancellation fee on those lasers that I ordered, and the security guard was pretty pissed that he had to be let go, but hey were in a recession.
