GUYS. Guess what? I’m officially done with grad school. Do you know what that means?! I’ll tell you: I get to wear a hood and stand out in the sun wearing polyester on Friday, and I get my nights and weekends back. Let’s celebrate with a collection of assorted finds from the Internets:

- From my new favorite music blog, I Am Fuel, You Are Friends, a free 32-song mix that you should download immediately so that it can be the soundtrack to your summer. (Stomp, clap. STOMP CLAP.)
- And finally, a graphic that rates the trustworthiness of different kinds of facial hair. Never gets old. Beards for LIFE.
Happy Monday, everyone! And a happy belated birthday to co-blogger Kathleen! I think we successfully proved this weekend that your mid-twenties don’t really have to be any different from college. Thank goodness for that.

You don’t know about the Great Birthday Bird? Well, I’ll let the good Doctor do some explaining:
