    As for me...i need to stay in high school for two months and everybody is counting on me to go to College. i hope i'll earn that Diploma by the end of June 8th! it can be an important event to me...
     
    I've graduated a couple of times now. Felt just as stressful for each diploma (8
     
    High school graduation was fun, but I skipped the ceremony for my undergrad graduation. I still got to rent a cap and gown for pics with my family (it was free) and tbh, I had a lot more fun doing that than I probably would have at the actual ceremony.

    If I go for an advanced degree, I may go for that.
     
    I graduated in 2008. I had a rough time in Life skills, but I was able to not go because I had enough credits to graduate (I got permission from the school to stay out). I am happy to say that I graduated from Desert Ridge. <3 I never went to college for personal reasons.
     
    I went to both my high school and undergraduate degree graduations. It was fun taking pictures with my family, friends, and teachers/professors right after, even though knowing my friends and I will go our separate ways. Right after my high school graduation, most of the graduates including myself we get to go to Disneyland while after my college graduation family and I went out to eat the day after.
     
    i literally just had a "oh shit i'm graduating this month" moment a few minutes ago and then i saw this thread fml lol

    Disneyland was also planned for Graduation Night in Bloomington High School.
     
    my friends & i ditched our high school graduation ceremony as god knows the last thing we wanted to do was sit around in a stuffy auditorium at school and listen to grandiose speeches about our future for four hours. we ended up sitting in a mcdonalds until like midnight lmao.
    i found out that i had won some academic excellence award the next day and it was apparently very awkward for the people there when i didn't shine down from the rafters to collect my trophy, which is just what i felt my lasting memory should be. it was beautiful to think about.

    as for college
    well
    when that happens in a couple of decades i'll be sure to let you all know how that went down on the freshly unveiled pc 2.0
     
    In the UK we only make a fuss about graduating University, which I've not been to. A lot of schools and colleges don't have ceremonies, we go in to get our results, mingle for a few minutes then go home. I didn't even do that. School was hell so I had mine sent in the mail.

    I may go to Uni at some point.
     
    Graduation during college was a compulsory thing and I guess it was okay? I don't remember it as much as I should.

    Finishing my final year of uni at the end of this year - but graduation isn't until May.
     
    I've gotten 3 degrees so far (High School, Associates and Bachelors) and I've attended all of my graduation ceremonies.

    I absolutely love going to graduation ceremonies. But, I love school in general, so...
     
    The thing I remember most about my high school graduation day was getting up, starting the download for the latest COD: World At War DLC, graduating, and then coming home and hopping on the zombies map included with that DLC with some friends.
     
    Graduating high school is my only real experience with graduating. It was whatever honestly, I didn't care for school much so getting out forever was great but the ceremony was nothing much.
     
    It's a little weird thinking about how it's been nearly 2 years since I graduated from college. Really hate graduation ceremonies though. So glad I didn't have to go to my college one.

    This was the part I always disliked the most. They were almost painful to listen to.

    The one I remember the most was the one the superintendent of the school district made during my youngest sister's high school graduation last year.

    90% of it was him talking about some family he was watching at a Taco Bell once

    the one time i went to any prizegiving ceremony (my first year at the school obviously - never went to one of those disasters again), one of the guest speakers ended up crying on stage about his deceased daughter for 40 minutes and it was just awful
