I Graduated from high school

[Rufus12]

Today I graduated high school, and when they handed me my diploma they gave me an envelope. Inside was a note saying that I had to return a textbook before I could get my diploma. There was also another smaller envelope inside, and I opened it to find a check in my name for $323! Apparently I won an award for outstanding photography, but it was a surprise to find the money. Great graduation present!

Now what should I spend it on? I feel like I should spend it on some lens' to honor the fact that I got the money because of my photos, and then there's the other side of me that just wants to blow it all on something fun. Any ideas ATOT?

You might have to use the money to buy another textbook if you can't find it.

I'm surprised they didn't just keep the prize money to pay for the textbook.

Good for you mate! Put it towards a nice 70-200mm f/2.8 IS, would be perfect on the rugby field.

Edit - These two are excellent, keep it up! Photography is an extremely rewarding hobby.

Save it for college/future living, if you are going to such an establishment.

That reminds me, I STILL owe my grade 4 school a library book that I lost. I never managed to find it, and they probably forgot by now.

Better find and return it otherwise the librarian will come and hunt you down like in that Seinfeld episode.

There are a bunch of other awards that share prize money from a large pool, and each prize gets a certain percentage of the pool.
