This spring millions of students will don caps and gowns and walk in commencement ceremonies around the country. After the graduation parties are over, these high school and college graduates will have their whole lives ahead of them. What do they need to know as they embark on the next chapter in their journey? We posed the following question to our Facebook and Twitter fans to help point these new graduates in the right direction:

“What’s your best piece of advice for this year’s high school and college graduates? What was the best advice you got when you graduated?”

Our wise and caring community responded with some great advice for the class of 2011. Here are some of their suggestions:

“Don’t give up…n sweat the small stuff. 5 years from now all the things that seem so big won’t matter…”

“It’s a new beginning…enjoy”

“Monitor your social media usage if you want a good job. Employers are on the look-out!”

“You can be what you want to be, just takes a lot of hard work and effort, and always looking forward!”

“Go forth and conquer! U live in the greatest times for doing anything u want, don’t let the naysayers slay u and keep u stuck.” 

“Take a year off and travel…then get a job.” 

“Listen to your elders. I didn’t upon graduation, but did later in life.”

“Stay focused on UR goals! Don’t let anything or anyone stop U!”

And on the lighter side…

“Remember to smile on grad day. Everyone takes photos and you want to look good.”

“Stay in school as long as possible. School is wonderful. Work sucks.” 

“Keep the photos clean.”
