I'm graduating tomorrow and in the last four months so many people have proudly trumpeted the fact that they're not walking at graduation. "I did that in high school, why do it again?" People act surprised that I'm walking, it's so boring, after all. It's just your Bachelors degree and everyone goes to college these days.
You know why I'm walking at graduation and getting photos taken and having my whole come into town? Because I worked damn hard for the last five years to get here and I have every right to celebrate. I don't appreciate anyone trivializing something I've spent thousands of dollars and five years of my life on.
Screw this culture of apathy. I am a passionate person and I believe in celebrating your accomplishments.
