college graduation

Cara Koscinski was outraged when she received a censored graduation cake for her son Jacob, who has a 4.79 GPA. Koscinski, who ordered the cake from Publix in South Carolina, intended for the cake to say, "Congrats Jacob! Summa cum laude class of 2018," but Publix apparently considered the word cum to be too profane for a cake and censored it with several dashes.

As a result, Koscinski says she was forced to explain the word "cum" to both her son and her 70-year-old mother, who were humiliated by the ordeal. 

If you're graduating soon, know that real life is real scary, and that you definitely should not follow any of this advice!
