Need some ideas

well I'm graduating in 2 weeks and my parents want to know what I want as a graduation gift. My other brother went to Europe for 2 weeks. I would love to do that but I don't have anyone that I would want to go there with right now. So I need some cool ideas. I got a car and a computer already. ahhh decisions...

Even if you go to Europe by yourself, it will still be worth it. It's real easy to meet up with other people your age doing the same thing you're doing.

Very nice luggage; it'll last a lifetime.
It's what I got for graduation, and I've traveled so much since. I don't know what I'd do if I had to keep lugging around my old Garfield suitcase (it's awesome but doesn't quite serve it's purpose) and a couple of duffle bags.
Congrats by the way!

I went to Hawaii with a lot of my family and friends for high school graduation. Went fishing like all day every day. Tuna and marlin all over the place, and beautiful weather

What about a used Motorcycle, dirt bike, four wheeler, snowmobile, or cash?? Id take the trip to Europe personally. Id love to visit Italy and visit where my roots come from. Do some research on your heritage and trace it right back to the exact town or provinence. I did this and it was very interesting.

I plan to visit there someday.
Congratulations on graduating man!

I would love to do this but my we already had a family vacation and I'm a bit of a loaner at the moment. my best friend turned on me and just found I didn't like that kind of people I was hanging out with. I have always been sort of independent so its not making me depressed but it does suck that I don't have anyone to experience new things with.
I'm so looking forward to meeting people outside of highschool...I just cant stand the "get fucked up, and act cool" attitude. (if that makes sense to any of you) heh

here's a couple ideas i had: digital/video camera dog/cat/pet/fish tank trip to europe (like other people said, i'm planning on going next year myself), or some other type of vacation ... go skiing in the mountains, take an alaskan cruise ... whatever really camping gear mountain bike peripherals for your computer (surround sound, flat screen monitor, wireless keyboard etc) telescope
well basically that's all the stuff i want personally
congrats man, good luck in the "real" world, whatever path you choose

hardly new, its a old 90' harley that a buddy of mine fixed up for me a year and a half ago. i meant it had been in the shop for 3 weeks gettin some work done. but it felt like a new bike once i started her up for the first time in too many months. its completely worth getting a bike. insurance and gas is dirt cheap, and rolling down a highway at 90 can be either an extreme adrenaline rush or extreme relaxation depending on your mood.

I'd like to travel across the U.S. actually. If you have a car that you can travel in without worries that it won't be able to survive the trip, I think it'd be cool to drive across the U.S. If you like sports, you can go to some different baseball stadiums. Go to some cool sights that you've never seen before.
Plus, it's alot easier to bring drugs (if you want to) than it would be if you were going to Europe.

Im very excited to get into the world. Im going into art/video game industry. My brothers already in it so i should be able to get a job once im done with art school. my life goal is to write at least one book, write a great movie screen play, make come out with my own music CD and of course make great games. ok...im off topic...lol
Any ways: Thanks for the pet idea...I would love a cat or dog! That might be a serous option

Bring a wide variety of drugs.. so you don't get tired of the same old thing (or tolerance, bleh).

Sounds cool man! Id like any bike year is no matter to me. A harley would be very nice. A buddy of mine has a 900 Yamaha. Not sure on the year. That fucker is beasty though. Really goes. It has a V-Twin (I think that's what the engine is called??) Im not very good with cars or bikes.

Go to a city in England. Only, make it the one closest to Amsterdam. Your parents will never know what you really did.
