Commencement Speech Bingo

Wired filled out the squares on a Bingo card with the top 24 clichés from 2013's graduation speeches. If you make a game of it at this year's ceremonies, perhaps your attention won't wander...

The most popular variation is drunk bingo, in which players down a shot of a favorite alcoholic beverage if a square's words are uttered. Think of it as an early start to the post-commencement celebration.

Even the late Steve Jobs, in the most famous commencement speech of the past ten years, could not be wholly original. From his 2005 address to Stanford graduates:

So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Happy listening, graduates. Good luck, and never stop learning.
