How do I get through my high school graduation ceremony?

Question

At least 100 students will graduate. I'm rank #5 so my name will be called very early on. This means I have to sit there and listen to at least 95 names being called, one by one. Boring and I can't use my phone. I also have to listen to the principal's speech, the salutatorian's, and the valedictorian's. Plus, there's a picture slideshow to commemorate the school year. It'll take forever.

Oh boo hoo. At 18 you can not sit through an event. If you are so upset and and so bored about it all don’t go. Skip the graduation ceremony. Problem solved.

Don't worry, you'll get through it. You're lucky to not only be at the top of your class, you should also be happy there's a real ceremony.  Also, the speeches are important, so listen up, because they're not boring.  If you are smart enough to realize that the graduation ceremony is not an inconvenience, and that you get get through it without your phone, then your future looks promising.
