New high school alumni make successful use of vague graduation advice. It's the Onion Radio News, this is Doyle Redland reporting. Their high school commencement ceremonies are long past now but former students from Bourneville High have somehow managed to put the generic and unfocused advice offered by their class valedictorian to effective use. Recent graduate, Greg Lindsay is working hard to become a living example of the words 'go forth and become the dream you've always had': 'When I heard that it felt like my entire future just fell on the place.' The author of that advice, valedictorian Joe Ramsey is currently living out his own dream as a part-time heroin addict and struggling blowjob artist. Doyle Redland for the Onion Radio News.
