Bachelor's Degree "check"

Ah blessed summer with your long days and warm nights how I have missed you. So, I walked in a long line of other "smart" people, shook hands with the university president and he gave me a holder with no diploma in it. I started having flash backs of high school and how worried I had been about actually graduating because, yeah, it was a close call back then. So, now I'm officially a college grad and I received Cum Laude which means I'm really smart! I had hoped for magna or summa but at least in this situation I wasn't wondering if I'd even make it all! Now it's on to graduate school; apparently once you're bitten by the education bug it takes awhile for the anti-venom to work. I'm just not sure which direction to take, so many choices! Oh well, I have 7 months to figure it out!
