These Class of 2018 graduation stories are so inspiring, they’ll have you rolling around crying

Aborted at age 4, died in Pearl Harbor, graduate at 18

There's nothing so inspiring as grad season. You can basically smell the soon-to-be-broken dreams in the air! And the joy everyone feels getting that one watch they've always coveted — as though anyone can tell analog time, loool — is contagious. I'd sit in a hot gymnasium full of people I barely talked to over and over again if it meant experiencing the rush of taking a picture with my high school mascot for my mom again. Seriously. I'm not just saying that because she reads all my content!

The only thing that makes those walks across the stage more moving is when there's a slightly painful story of someone overcoming hardship to get there. And lucky for us, sharing those inspirational tales is the latest Twitter trend.

You know how Pinterest says 'Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about'?

Well, guess what? It's true. I can't believe he died in 9/11 and still made it to the ceremony! :,) AND he's a Shutterstock model?!

Happy grad season to everyone who shared their stories on Twitter. You all are stronger than US Marines and probably smarter than Stephen Hawking. Am I allowed to say that now?

First of all, John McCain is in hell

by Amanda Ross

Death is awful, and I can't blame anyone for struggling to make sense of it. That's where the idea of an afterlife came from, right? Refusal to accept the nothingness waiting for us the moment our pulse stops? If it makes you feel better to imagine your grandma reclining on a cloud while the world…
