Did you graduate on stage, or did you skip the graduation ceremony?

Have not yet graduated from college.

In high school, it was a platform. We did ours outside in front a huge Georgian building with white pillars called Archbold. We got up, walked to the stairs on the one side of the platform and crossed to the other side. Sort of a stage but it wasn't.

Here's a picture at my high school now. We didn't have the weird cover things over the platform.

Highschool I graduated on stage cause I wanted to graduate with my friends.

Community college I skipped out on graduation and had them mail me my associates diploma. The reason being was graduation for the community college was going to be in December and I was transferring to university that August.

University I definitely walked on stage.

This time I don't know I'm probably going to have the university I am currently mail me my diploma for my masters degree honestly.

@Lucy68 When I got my Masters Degree I fully intended to go to the ceremony but I completely forgot about it. A few weeks later I got a mailing tube from the college and I thought it was a calandar or maybe the schedule for the hockey team. It tuns out it was my diploma. I;m glad I didn't throw it in the trash.

[Lucy68]

@exitseven that's why my grandma says always inspect the mail

[DizzyDesii]

I had to walk the stage every time (graduating preschool, HS, juco, and uni PLUS anytime i won an award). I begged everytime to just be mailed my stuff. Walking was optional but no my mom was like OH NO YOU GONE WALK 😭🤣

[Msputiton]

Lmao. My momma was the same way

[DizzyDesii]

Our school surprisingly let people walk even if they didn't graduate because my old friends Darius and Avery failed their senior exams. One chose to walk but the other saved himself the embarrassment since everyone at school knew the truth anyways. And poor Corey. Omg that dude was in his 20s in HS and failed again

[Msputiton]

Oh wow

[D_Bone_Steak]

Skipped it for college... that stuff is lame. Skipped it for High School as well.

I think that stuff is for attention freaks or people with parents that want to take pictures.

Boot camp was a forced ceremony, but I sure didn't have anyone fly out just to watch me march around like a retard.

[OfMiceandMen]

On stage. High School and Uni. I feel sorry for those young un's who missed their graduation bc of COVID.

[Msputiton]

Yeah, i was lucky. i missed it by 2 years. My momma would've been devastated if i didn't graduate on stage.

[OfMiceandMen]

My daughter missed her High School graduation, I am hoping they'll do a college graduation on stage next year.🤞

[Jaximus-Lion]

Never graduated! I moved to another country and all i did is learning the language, work, study for a career and so far , so good. I could have done better if i was in Sweden at a younger age (under 18) bit i was almost 21 when i arrived 🤷‍♂️

[Fuentes]

Stage, they said it was mandatory but my teacher could've been lying.

[Msputiton]

Lying unless different rules in each state

[Fuentes]

Probably cause I said he'll no I'm not going hahaha but he said I had too and I said aight imma walk and then dip hahahhaha

[Msputiton]

Lmao sounds like he was on a power trip

[Fuentes]

Nah he helped me graduate he was a good guy helped me get everything and helped get into the Army when I didn't know much about what the asvab required & got me the write study books so when I came in I studied that ish until I went to MEPS and passed with a 56 and at the time the passing score was 31. I remember when I first did it I got a score of 13 cause I didn't know shit its like I didn't become smart until I was 19 and that teacher brought it out of me. Nothing but love for him.

[Msputiton]

Then he might been telling the truth

[Fuentes]

Nah he wanted to just see me walk so I would experiance it. Anyone who truly know me know I am the life of the party but at the same time I'm not tryna so shit that I don't feel. that matters hahaha

[Sixgunsound]

I'm not allowed on campus to walk across the stage for grad school because I don't have a covid passport. Even after all this time, high minded academia still enforces their othering of those outside their echo chamber by armed guards.

[melanieeeB]

All my two graduation ceremonies were boring as hell, nothing like the movies and just with one I had to go on stage, take my certificate and go home haha

[melanieeeB]

And with the 3rd we didn't do a graduation thing at all, just got our certificate in school and went home and never back again lol

[FinalFantasyBro]

I had graduated on the school team's football field instead because the ceremony took place outside

[Msputiton]

Sounds fun

[FinalFantasyBro]

It was thankfully it was in the summer so summer break stated but it was very hot outside and I was ready to get out of the sun

[Msputiton]

Oh yeah, that is understandable

[FinalFantasyBro]

But I definitely glad I graduated and gotten my diploma

[loveslongnails]

I went to my girlfriend's college graduation because the parents were in town and it was sort of "required". LOL She graduated a semester before me, same school, but once I saw how lame the whole thing was, I skipped my own!

[AviatorTom]

It was many years ago... both my high school and college graduations were on stage. I didn't skip either of them.

[MementoMori777]

I didn't even graduate, I got kicked out at 14 and never got back to school cause I thought it was just a waste of time

[Wish4UrB00ty]

I was home schooled. The only ceremony I have earned was for my GED in 2010

[Paul_in_Indy]

I did not bother with a couple of my graduations.

[exitseven]

I have 3 college degrees , I skipped the middle one. I completely forgot about it. George Bush Sr, was the commencement speaker.

[Pudsmucker]

I walked across the stage when I graduated from high school. Then I graduated from college. Walked across the stage when I was in the military and graduated from there. How are you

[humanearth]

I never went to any that stuff.

I was homeschooled

[douride2]

I was busy working so I skipped all the hoopla.

[TallAnon]

I did go since I liked my classmates and had good relations with the teachers. Hasn't always been like that, lol, but it ended well.

[computer_nerd]

i never felt the need to go to my high school graduation my dad was upset that i did not want to go

[zagor]

I did the graduation ceremony for HS and B. A.; skipped it for M. A.

[convo_king89]

My high school and undergrad I did the ceremony and walked on stage.

[PointTaken]

On stage. We just walked up for the diploma. All 28 of us.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Graduated with the ceremony. I didn't think it was an option to skip.

[Michael09]

I worked 12 years to get the sheep skin I accepted mine

[Michael09]

I needed mine to join the Army. USA/RET/DAV

[dinojames22]

I wanted to skip it.. but it ment too much to my parents
