She continued: "That was really exciting, but what is so stupid is when I was graduating, I was too tired and I didn't care and it's too ceremonial and I slept... through it and thought, 'This isn't a big deal.' So when we found out that Julian's could be in person I said, 'Hey your graduation is Sunday at eight in the morning, are ANY of you going?' and he said, 'Yeah, we'll all going. We're all going. Everyone's going because we're graduating.'
