Just so you know, the school officials did not choose the speaker, the graduating class did. And I was at this graduation and it was far better than any graduation I've ever been, too. It was real and entertaining rather than dull and boring. I'm sure you'd rather sit through this graduation rather than one at Harvard any day.

He's so giggly. xD

Why does comedy have to be told with a straight face?

[boodleheimer]

Classic speech Eugene. Hilarious, and you snuck in some serious stuff too. From an Amherst College alum, gotta love Hamphire.

How does anyone find this guys funny. Literally the worst stand up comic I have ever heard

[Jdb112086]

This guy is absolutely and painfully unfunny. It shocks me how funny people think he is.

[Jdb112086]

This guy is absolutely and painfu

I think that it's nice that on Hampshire College's Wikipedia page, under "Notable alumni" is "Fictional alumni". You never see fictional characters get the credit they deserve.

The most important and useful thing he said was to "do it for ten years." You can't wuss out or be lazy and you have to be doggedly determined for seemingly long period of time.

I love how he can't even READ this with a straight face. God, I miss Hampshire. If I could go back to 18 and do it all again and again, would happily do so.
