I concur... I mean, yeah, me.

My oldest daughter graduates from High School next month.

Thus she'll officially be to old for most guys on this board.

Technically, I already graduated from high-school, but I didn't get ceremony. A diploma just came in the mail.

Hey........nobody did this for me last year when I graduated darn it ;p

All jealousy aside, CONGRATS EVERYBODY....who else besides Jers, Chewy, and Sammers are graduating?

I don't know what he said, but I'm finishing up too. Lots of my friends are graduating too. Some grads, some undergrads. Indeed, it's all good.

Nicely played

I'm graduating from my community college and going to, like, a real university.

Yay.

Polishing off my four-year stint as a Philosophy major so that I may venture out into the dreaded 'real world' and become...

...a philosopher...

Awwwwwwww good luck philosophizing Chews....I could picture you in theatre somewhere like on Broadway!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVED community....hated state university but loved my private university. Where you going to wind up and what are you majoring in?

To the rest of you guys still in college, STAY AS LONG AS YOU CAN...the real world totally sucks!

But you make money in the real world!

I am so glad that another philosopher has join the fold, but my advice is to start looking into grad school immediately. The only thing you can do with a philosophy degree is to either think deep thoughts about being unemployed or wait tables. Trust me I know from experience.

I'll be done next semester, and finally have my undergraduate degree in biochemistry

Congrats......whew I had no idea so many smart people hung out at the good ol' rkmbs...biochemistry, math, philosophy, theatre?!? Wow..........

Go on...

Biblical studies......communications.....MUSIC!!!! OH my gosh I knew that was yours

And philosophy was your minor right?

One of the things I'm looking forward to post-graduation (besides seeing my friends at home, family, and $working$) is getting back to good old Graham Crackers Comics. I like the 10% off I'm getting around here, but the comic store here sucks terribly.

I'll let the minor slide. It's composition/theory/musicology.

I'll take fries with that, thanks.

87 and 93 was a lot longer than a few years ago buddy. Congrats nonetheless. And congratulations to Chewy for becoming a philosophizer.

Tomorrow's the day!

Chewy's parents got a coupla great photos from the reception tonight, so he will probably post those sometime soon.

I'll be a biochemist once i graduate but i think im gonna make the move to medical genetic, cause that the program im gonna apply for at a Masters or PhD level

Have fun CS!!!!!!! I Couldn't sleep AT ALL the night before.....and theN I woke up and was feeling horrible but made it to graduation. It turned out fun but kinda long though

Whoa.

i dont want to graduate so im going back to school, maybe if i get my PhD they will hire me

Yeah smart move wing......job market totally sucks.

So how'd it go? Didnt Sammy and Chewy graduate today?

Yes. I am still around though - working on campus for the summer. I'll tell you how it all went tomorrow if I'm not busy moving into my apartment.

Good job Sammitch! Me however, I'm getting nervous as hell.

It's not that bad Jeremys....it takes forever to get to the stage but once you're up it takes less than a few seconds. Nobody tripped or fell so have no fears. If I could wear heels and not make an idiot of myself you should be just fine!

I'm not nervous about walking, I'm nervous about the finals. Walking is the easy part, hell that'll be great.

In my undergraduate graduation, the only ones to walk onstage for receipt of diploma were those who had completed their Ph. D.s. Their major profs hooded them and handed them their diplomas. Masters degree students were recognized only by having their names announced over the PA. And Bachelors students were not recognized in any individual way. BA/BS students from each college arose as their college was announced and moved their tassles over when the Dean of that College told them to do so, to signify graduation.

And for my MA, I didn't even go to the Commencement at all. They mailed me my diploma, which was fine. I had two small children then and was not going to go through the hassle of making my wife attend to both of them simply so I could have my name read aloud in an auditorium in Cincinnati.

AND????????? How'd it go Chews and Sammys?
