In her recent commencement speech at Emerson College, Jennifer Coolidge showcased her iconic humor while addressing both excited gay students and less enthusiastic hetero students. Through motivational anecdotes, she encouraged graduates to courageously pursue their dreams with the mantra "just friggin' go for it!" Drawing from her past experiences, she recounted an embarrassing childhood story of being disqualified after skipping obstacles in a competition, which led her to embrace being seen as a 'joke' and fostered her aspirations. Her relatable charm resonated with the graduates, leaving them inspired for their future endeavors.
I'm excited that I'm speaking with some very excited gay students... and some less excited hetero students.
Just friggin' go for it!
I was so elated that I had won, and to me it meant that I was going to get the blue ribbon.
I had skipped all of the obstacles.
