(New York Post)
A college graduate in Florida took her graduation photos kissing and posing with a 14-foot alligator instead of the standard cap-and-gown backdrop. The photos went viral.
Listen. I graduated college. I have a photo of me in a rented gown standing in front of a fountain squinting into the sun. My mom is crying in it. My dad looks like he wants to leave. Classic stuff.
This woman kissed a 14-foot alligator for her graduation photos and honestly the gap between her life and mine has never been more measurable.
Fourteen feet. That’s not a gator, that’s a geological feature. That’s a creature that predates the dinosaurs and has survived every extinction event on record and she’s putting her face on it in a cap and gown. Smiling.
I’ve never done anything. Not one single thing.
The most dangerous thing I did at graduation was eat a gas station sandwich on the drive home. I thought THAT was a risk. I thought I was living.
Florida does something to people and I refuse to figure out what it is because understanding it would ruin it. You can’t study this. You can only respect it from a distance.
She’s going to tell this story at every job interview for the rest of her life and it’s going to work every single time. Not even close.
