The Cap and Gown

I officially feel like a college senior. I bought my beautiful University of Akron cap and gown this past week. When picking up my cap and gown the man selling them asked what my degree was. I replied that I was graduating with a major in Business Communications. So he smiled and handed me a pearl colored tassel and said, "Business, good for you." Well, I told him that the "Business Communications" degree was actually a degree from the Communications school, not the Business college. So he took the tassel back and asked what overall school that was categorized in. I told him it was the Fine and Applied Arts school. So he promptly handed me a tassel in the shade of what I have come to call, "shit brown." After failing to succeed in convincing him to give me a better colored tassel I paid my $50 and headed out the door.
After all is said and done though, I will proudly wear my "shit brown" tassel, my cardboard squared cap, and my gown across that stage. I am graduating.
