The Ultimate Graduation Playlist
By Myra Vasudev
Graduation is fast approaching, and you know what that means; it's time to curate the perfect soundtrack.. From bubblegum pop lyrics to nostalgic and tear-jerking ballads, I’ve made sure to include the essential tracks that capture every emotion you might experience when you toss your cap in the air and say your farewells to Loreto Normanhurst, venturing bravely into what comes next. While your blazer might collect dust in your closet in your childhood bedroom through the years, I guarantee you’ll never throw away the memories of being a Loreto Girl.
