Avoiding Graduations

It's the time of the year again when a city like Boston, with all its various colleges and universities, gets overrun by overzealous parents celebrating their kids graduating from college.

With near fights breaking out over parking spaces, moving out of apartments, dinner reservations, and everything in between, it's important to keep track of when and where these graduations are going down so that they can be avoided at all cost.

Fortunately the bulk of them happened this past weekend (Simmons, Bentley, Tufts, BC, BU, Emerson, Suffolk, and Brandeis). Upcoming ones of note are UMass Boston's on May 30th, Harvard's on June 5th and MITs on June 6th.

On the bright side, this is also a good time if you're looking to fill your apartment with mismatched and possibly bug riddled furniture.
