Done with college? Better keep a frame of reference.

Ah… those good old college days! Quite likely the best time in a guy’s life, yet probably the time in a guy’s life that he’s prone to remember the least. That’s just too bad, isn’t it? Well, it doesn’t have to be! Sometimes remembering is living, and this is why diploma frames were invented in the first place, right?

I mean, if it wasn’t for my diploma standing proudly in my office, I’d barely realize I’ve already finished my high education (so to speak). Okay, so maybe I’m going a little over the edge here, but to put it simply, I’m not a big fan of the modern standard for learning institutions. And judging from what I’ve seen in my day, they’re also not a big fan of me… but well, that’s a different story, one that would probably suffice to fill a couple of books.

Okay, for one thing: I’m not sorry I have an actual university diploma frame with an actual diploma from an actual university inside. And I’m not sorry I went to college, either that I did waste of the time I spent there on typical young foolishness. Technicalities aside, my time in college was an important stage in my personal development, and I’ve much to be thankful for. That’s what I try to keep in mind when I find myself staring at the diploma, anyway. I’m just lucky that’s such a shiny and pretty frame, since occasionally it’s good enough to distract me from the little piece of paper inside.
