01Michael Scott Will Love Your Cap With Your Favorite 'Office' Quote On It

02It's Your Turn To Try "Defying Gravity"
I don't know a single musical theater lover who doesn't enjoy belting out "Defying Gravity" from Wicked. I know I've found myself scream-singing to it in my car more times than I can count. Defy gravity just like Elphaba, and step out into adulthood with your brand new degree.
03Get A Little Punny With Your Degree
Going with a pun is a fun way to show how happy you are to finally be graduating. Luckily, there are a ton of graduation puns to choose from. For instance, if you're getting a BA, go with something like, "I've always been a BA, but now I have the degree to prove it."
04A Cap Yeezy Would Be Proud Of
Sometimes you don't even need words to make your cap unique. For any Kanye West fan, it just makes sense that you'd decorate your cap like West's Graduation album.
05Show The World You're "Fearless"
Any Swiftie knows where this cap got its inspiration, and that's Taylor Swift's "Fearless." Swift is a great songwriter who truly knows how to capture all the right feels. Any of her lyrics would be exceptional on a cap. Don't just stop with the right words, either. Decorate with flowers to make it a masterpiece.
06This Cap Was Made For A Wizard
You may not have received your letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but you did make it through years of college, and to some, that's just as rough as fighting Voldemort.

Your four years of mischief have finally come to fruition, and you're ready to take on the world.
07Have Your Cap Show That You "Started From The Bottom," Now You're Here
It's always fun to choose something that references your favorite rapper, Drake. Now, when "that hotline bling," it can only mean it's time for you to finally get your degree.
08Cheers To You For Making It Through
Sure, you had your study buddies and friends to get you through it all, but for some of us (who are 21 and up), our biggest champion through college was wine. It got us through many long nights of cramming, and we're eternally grateful. Now is the time to stop and smell the rosé, because graduation day is almost here.
09Design A Cap Your 'Friends' Will Love
Some people thank their friends for getting them through college. There are six friends that may have helped, too, who just happen to be Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Chandler, and Ross. They'll always be "there for you" — even on graduation day with a Friends-themed cap design.
10This 'Moana'-Inspired Cap Has That Disney Magic
Just like Moana wanted to journey beyond her reef, you are finally ready to journey beyond your college years. There really is no telling how far you'll go, but with a degree in hand, you're on your way to accomplishing great things.
11Just Be Honest With Your Cap
This Parks and Recreation quote perfectly describes how many of us feel post-graduation. There's nothing wrong with being honest with everyone, and letting the world know that you're still a little unsure. The only thing I know I'm certain of is that I really need waffles — like Leslie Knope — to celebrate the big day.
