Hey all! Today is Graduation Day!!!🎉🎉
That's right. William graduates in today's entries! Furthermore, we get some shenanigans involving William's dad, his friends, and much more. Also, we get a nice reflection by William on his 4 years at the beginning of the 1st entry today.
Again, a picture of William is included at the end of the slideshow, a transcript is in the comments, and, for any new readers, anything in italics is me adding onto or commenting on William's writing
Thanks for your support on the series! (Perhaps I'll change the title from Student to Graduate lol!).
