@rodimusprime I went thru two: undergrad and masters and I barely remember them. What I do remember is that it meant a lot to my parents to see that rite of passage as they were a huge part of me getting my degrees. So unless your family really cares (which it seems like they don’t) and you don’t want to do it, then do what you want to do. In the end it really was boring for me It’s longer than an hour and depending how your college does it, you could be waiting forever for all the names to be called out. If the ceremony is outside and the weather is blazing hot, then it’s super miserable!!
I DID love the picture taking and celebratory dinner after my ceremonies. I still look fondly at my pics every now and then and smile.
And please don’t think you haven’t accomplished anything regardless if you liked your major. Attaining your bachelors is an accomplishment! It speaks to your persistence and drive to finish what you started. Give yourself a pat on the back…not a lot of kids could do what you’ve done without much emotional and academic support. You have the rest of your life ahead of you and WITH A DEGREE!! So, yes, you do have a future and it’s in your hands. All the best to you!
