The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy commencement ceremony is this evening.
I'm all dressed up and ready to go. I should have some pictures afterward. Even though I graduated in December of 2014, they only hold commencement once a year. I suppose I'm actually considered as a part of the class of 2015.
I'll be graduating with highest distinction because of my 3.952 GPA, and I have red and white cords pinned to my gown to signify that. I will also be recognized for my achievement during the ceremony.
We have a good friend of the family who graduated from another local college in 1958. When I was working my ass off in my junior year, she gave me her tassel as a source of inspiration. I will be wearing that, as well, pinned to my gown.

P.S.--Do you know that under your gown, clothes are optional? I had no idea until MFM told me that.
