It's almost time for school to end, and I can practically hear TK Hulin singing 'Graduation Night' as I'm writing this. It's always fun to see who the commencement speakers are going to be, and this year Louisiana has a wide variety of cool folks to give the graduation addresses to the Class of 2018. Check  them out below, from NOLA.com. Good luck, graduates!
