Day 21. start of a shitty graduation speech

Well, this is graduation, and I have nothing against time-honored traditions, so I'm just going to get through every graduation speech cliche in 30 seconds: Definition of a common word. Joke that sounded better in my bedroom. Allusion to pop culture. Awkward reference to that crazy party one time. Metaphor comparing our lives to rivers, stairs, or books. Pauses. Between. Every. Word. The phrases "gathered here today" and "through good times and bad."
