    I'm currently in College and am the most confused I have ever been in my entire life. I don't Amanda Palmer can grasp how important her words are to me right now. I don't know why, but I feel that if I don't accomplish my entire life's goals right now, they'll just pass me by. But I'm just starting out and I realize now that I have so much time left to fuck up and be successful. Thank you, Amanda Palmer, Thank you.

    I think it's a tradition or an old charter or something...

    Why is there always a baby crying in videos of graduation speeches. In Neil's vid too.
