Hello everyone, and welcome to one of the most relieving Mondays of my entire life. For, tonight, I have finally graduated from elementary school. Now, I know that this is not at all impressive for those of you who are already in high school, or even university, but rest assured, for a 14 year old, this is a very relieving moment. So, I thought that tonight's post would be about graduation, appropriately. Then, as I was sitting in the pew, listening to my principal (or former principal) ramble on for over ten minutes, I began to feel very similar to the protagonist of the movie, The Graduate (coincidentally, one of my favorite movies). I instantly changed my mind and decided to write tonight's post about the movie, The Graduate, and feature some music that is either from the movie, or goes along with it.

From Wikipedia:
"The Graduate is a 1967 comedy/drama/romance directed by Mike Nichols, based on the novel of the same name by Charles Webb, who wrote the piece shortly after graduating from Williams College. The screenplay is by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry, who makes a cameo appearance as the hotel clerk. The film tells the story of Ben Braddock (played by Dustin Hoffman), a recent college graduate with no well-defined aim in life, who is seduced by Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) and then falls in love with her daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross)."
Now, the entire soundtrack was Simon & Garfunkel, so I'll post one of the more prominent tracks in the movie.
