They're gonna make you proud.

Because if space really is the place, consider them well on their way. En route, if you will. The following 12 mighty fine folk only went and graduated from NASA's astronaut school. They are now ready and set, suited and booted, to head up into that big old mysterious blanket above and see what's good. Perhaps they will bring y'all a souvenir. 

In the meantime, may we introduce you to the people who put the rad in graduation. Nay, who put the ace in space.

Graduation season's almost upon us, so I wanted to wish an early congrats to all the girls receiving their well-earned diplomas this year!

All of you are making the world a better place!

Y’know I’ve always heard people talk about senioritis but I never truly understood how BAD it gets until now. Like every weekend that passes the idea of skipping school sounds more and more appealing… how am I supposed to do this for another three and a half months 😭😭

I have an AP comp sci test tomorrow and I’m kinda nervous

(rant post sorry)

don’t mean to bring down the vibe but when i started high school, i didn’t think i’d make any friends, and then i did and they’re the best group i’ve ever been in. and when i first realized that a friend group was being formed, i decided to not get attached because i knew that when this ended we’d all move away from each other. but you obviously can’t decide who you get attached to. and i’ve spent basically every day with these people for 3 years, but when we hang out now it feels like we just met. and it feels like we didn’t get enough time. i’m having trouble enjoying a lot of our time together because my brain just keeps repeating the thoughts of moving away over and over again. i’m suddenly so scared to graduate and everyone else is counting down the days but i just cant bring myself to. because i don’t need a reminder that i have 2 months left. things will change and we may see each other again but it will never be the same. and i don’t want to complain about how good i had it because i know so many people don’t have friendships as strong as i do, and that makes me very lucky. i’m just so sad it’s almost over. it might feel like we didn’t get enough time, but the reality of it is that we had a lot of time. and we spent most of it complaining and saying we wanted to go home.

Haven’t been doing a lot in the way of fanart because I have been busy the last couple months working on my BFA capstone!!!

(Dialup noises of Graduation)

Our newest class of astronaut candidates graduated on March 5, 2024. This means they’re now eligible for spaceflight assignments to the International Space Station, the Moon, and beyond! In the next twelve posts, we’ll introduce these new astronauts.

Ive never related more to a book than when I (now Matric) opened the new Percy Jackson book and read the words "Look, I didn't want to be a high school senior."

Girl me too. Me too.

Alright, so my performing arts school does a Senior Showcase at the end of the year as a last performance for seniors to show off the height of their talents, right?

People can sing, people can dance, people can act, play instruments, make films, make visual art pieces such as drawings, paintings, or sculptures, and all sorts of stuff.

I, though I am an actor and tap dancer as well, chose to sing because that is the art I've been doing for the longest in my life. I've been singing since second grade.

I could have chosen a normal song from the radio, I could have chosen a song from a musical like Freeze Your Brain from Heathers or I'm Not a Loser from the SpongeBob Musical.

BUT.

My nerd brain decided "y'know what, let's embrace the nerd side of things."

So instead of doing a radio song or a musical song

I'm singing Space Was Cool.
