Vitamin C might or might not be right about the whole "friends forever" thing, but graduation itself certainly can be a fun time. Grad school, technical school, or high school, there's plenty to celebrate at any age. Don't let the terrible job market worry you just yet. The future is a-comin' plenty fast, so take a moment or two to self-congratulate and do a few silly things just for yourself or a friend.

T-Shirt Signing – Yes, we know this sounds like a bunch of seventh grade girls giggling by a bunk bed came up with this one but just consider it. Get a pack of white undershirts and lots of permanent markers. Then, indulge in a way sillier version of a yearbook signing. Note: The amusement level of this activity is greatly enhanced by the inclusion of alcohol. No one under 21 should be drinking. It will still be fun; consume sugary foods instead. It works.

Wisdom Books – Forget the yearbook. Get a cheap blank notebook or staple a bunch of blank pages together and ask people to offer wisdom to the graduate. From "don't overcook pasta" to "leaving candles burning by the bed when you fall asleep is a bad idea" to "be a good friend," you'll end of with a keepsake. From funny to actually helpful, the people in your life who have supported you thus far will get a chance to offer you future guidance (whether you want it or not).

Decorate the Room – Balloons, for whatever reason, just say fun. So buy a bag or two (on sale of course) and leave them around the graduate's pad. Cheesy, yet sweet.

Traditional Shindig – If you're going to throw a party, tell friends to bring stuff. You know the RFB rule of thumb: keep it cheap by divvying responsibility! Booze, cake, music ... assign away. And, try to secure help cleaning up in advance. Nothing ruins a good buzz like a wrecked apartment and no aid in sight. Bribe good friends with coffee or Bloody Marys.

And, for while you're getting ready, here are a classic, cheesy, and just amusing graduation videos:
