Current Events > Should I bother going to in person commencement (for graduating college) in May?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I graduated in December but they didn't do anything because covid and shit

It took me like 8.5 years to graduate so

Wasn't worth it to me both in undergrad and grad school. My parents wanted to go so I went through the motions, but I easily could have skipped it.

I wanted to skip HS graduation too actually.

It's up to you man.

My family wanted to be there for the event when I graduated, if it weren't for that I would have just skipped it. >.> They sent us the actual degrees in the mail anyway. What they presented us at the commencement was just for show.

And if you go to a large main campus there are too many people to even announce and hand a fake degree to on stage so they just ask all graduates to rise then everyone gets drunk /end ceremony

That's pretty much where I'm at. My parents would probably want to go but... Honestly I'm so embarrassed of taking that long I just don't want to even acknowledge it.

I would just go for your parents.

At least you're not my acquaintance who majored in History for like 7 years then dropped out without graduating.
