Every millennial had at least one graduation montage backed by Vitamin C’s Graduation (Friends Forever).
It didn’t matter if the slideshow had:
- blurry digital camera photos
- random PowerPoint transitions
- Comic Sans fonts
- awkward candid shots someone definitely didn’t approve
The moment that song started playing, suddenly the entire class acted like we were being separated forever instead of just moving to another school.
“As we go on…”
Immediate emotional damage.
Looking back now, I think millennials grew up during a strangely emotional era of the internet.
We documented everything.
Friendships felt permanent.
School goodbyes felt dramatic.
Even our slideshows had background music capable of ruining your entire week.
And honestly?
I kind of miss how sincere everyone used to be before irony became the default personality online.
