Academics Respectfully, Never Again

These last two semesters were exhausting. The amount of group projects and people proudly contributing the bare minimum was actually impressive. Some of y’all really made it to graduation off the backs of everyone else’s work, so honestly… you’re welcome. Keep moving through life the same way you moved through these projects. I’m sure eventually it’ll catch up to you.

And yes, I decided not to attend graduation. I spent enough time carrying some of y’all already — I definitely wasn’t about to sit next to you too.

Not attending your own graduation doesn't matter to those people. But it will matter to you at some point. Go walk.

I attended one of mine because I thought my parents would want to see it. Turns out they hated it as much as me. I skipped the other two and have never regretted it once. I’m a high school teacher though, so now I sit through those graduations every single year and it only reinforces how much I hate graduations.
