When I heard about commencement, I literally jumped up and down going, "RACHELRACHELRACHEL I WILL GO TO COMMENCEMENT AND I WILL MEET HER AND WE WILL BECOME BEST FRIENDS AND HAVE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE GOP AND THE END OF DADT..." Maybe I will impress her with my intellect and she'll let me be an intern and I'll get to meet influential people and won't life be grand?

I am definitely going to commencement this year.

RACHELRACHELRACHEL!
