Your Take: Give The Class of 2013 Your Best Advice

As Pomp and Circumstance is played endlessly for the next 5 weeks, share some advice with the new graduates!

Graduation season will be in full swing between now and the end of June, as colleges stage their commencement ceremonies this month, and high schools next.
