The 1967 classic starring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, and Katherine Ross. The Graduate is about a recent college graduate (Hoffman) who is seduced by the wife (Bancroft) of his father's business partner, then ends up falling in love with her daughter (Ross). Anne Bancroft's character became one of the most famous characters in movie history, Mrs. Robinson. The popular song "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel was used in the movie.

It was based on a book by Charles Webb with the same title written in 1963.
The Graduate is one of the best films that came out of the 60's.

Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?

And here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know.

This is the day you leave high school with a diploma, and many gaping wounds and/or emotional pain/catharsis.
Wow, Tom! Congratulations on graduating from high school, isn't that a big relief?

Tom: Well, this wound from AP Chemistry will never go away, and I feel like crying like a little girl, knowing I don't have to put up with those fucking losers and that history teacher for the rest of my life *cries*

Graduation

Then comes college, when you become a freshman all over again, CONGRATS!

The exact definition of Graduation is catch 22. Just a giant clusterfuck of emotions in which you don't know whether to be happy or sad. Nervous, or excited. Ugh. Graduation sucks.
Example: "I cried so much at my graduation, I was scared to be leaving behind everything I'd ever known for 12 years of my life. But at the same time, excited to be starting something new and adventurous."

1. A ceremony which celebrates your ability to sit in a small box for 12 years and not fall asleep too often.

2. A related ceremony which divides 4+ years of more advanced education and the crippling debt which follows.
"The only important thing about graduation is that you never have to see the people that pissed you off for the last 4 years ever again."

A more severe form of senioritis developed after ones thesis has been completed, but has yet to be defended.

Most often effects graduate teaching assistant and graduate research assistant duties.
Your senioritis pales in comparison to my graduatitis.
