Fiancé and I have had a very busy past two weekends! We both have brothers the same age, seniors in college, and each of them graduated from college this month! Woohoo class of 2010!
The main point of our trip up to Boston last weekend was to be there for fiancé’s brother’s graduation from Boston College.
I had never seen the BC campus before, it was lovely!
We went to the Baccalaureate Mass on Sunday -
And then we hit up the Mods (modular housing for seniors on the BC campus) for a BBQ. Being in a senior apartment made me miss college. They had walls of beer ( what college dorm doesn’t?)
And a pretty sweet “BC” wall decoration made from Keystone Ice cases. It was an impressive form of decor if I do say so myself!
We had a fun afternoon on campus celebrating with the graduates. We drank out of red solo cups, played drinking games and had a jolly old time. It made me miss college so much!
On Monday we headed out to the big stadium for the actual graduation ceremony. There were so many people in the stadium! It was a rough day for a graduation outside, the heat was almost unbearable and the ceremony lasted a long time because there were so many people. 
But then the time came for Rob to get his diploma!
Woohoo Collage Graduate!
After the ceremony we met up back at the Mods for family pictures.
Don’t fiancé and his brother look alike?

Siblings – Hi Kate! 
The whole gang.
It was a long day at BC, but I enjoyed being able to celebrate with Rob and the rest of fiancé’s family!
Fast forward to this weekend which was MY brother’s graduation from the University of Scranton! Fiancé and I headed up yesterday (Sunday – right smack dab in the middle of Memorial Day Weekend) to Scranton for the graduation festivities.
This graduation was much smaller than BC’s – we were able to see Michael (my bro) process out with the rest of his class.
(He is the guy in the middle of the picture)
Scranton did a great job decorating the arena for the event. It was also nice to sit inside in the air conditioning and watch everything!
Another nice thing about the graduation was that my dad is a University of Scranton Alumni. He also just ended his term as the President of the Alumni Society there, so that meant that my dad got to present my brother with his diploma on stage.
Here are my brother and dad in line for the stage. My dad is waving!
It was a nice personal touch to the graduation.
Woohoo College Graduate!
After the ceremony inside it was time to brave the heat outside for some more family pictures!

Way to go Michael!
Michael and his girlfriend Joan! Hi Joan!
Proud parents.

After being in the sun too long I decided it was time to go and celebrate somewhere inside (with air conditioning!)
We headed out to Bar Louie in the Mohegan Sun complex . 
I immediately bought this guy a drink! He earned it!
Congratulations to Michael & Robert!
Spending so much time at colleges the past two weekends made me miss college life!
What do you miss most (or love most) about college?
I miss just hanging out with friends all the time and the laid back lifestyle with minimal responsibilities. The real world is very different from college life! It’s also hard going from seeing some friends every single day to now having friends spread all over the country! It is fun to go visit people but it will never be the same as it was when we all lived together!
