This week, Michelle Obama gave an AWESOME high school graduation speech where she stressed that school is about much more than just grades (if the First Lady is saying it, it might be worth listening to her!). T-Swift also made a hilariously epic face backstage at the Billboard Music Awards last weekend, which has now swept the Internet in GIF-form.

Honorable mention goes to students at East Carter High School in Grayson, Ky. who attempted a crazy senior prank by releasing 10,000 crickets into the school hallways. Unfortunately, their principal was not amused, and as a result, seven seniors were told they couldn't participate in graduation. Sorry, guys.
