But bottom line is you shouldn’t feel sorry for someone that chooses not to walk. Some people just aren’t interested in doing it. You shouldn’t feel sorry for someone who got bad grades either unless if something tragic happened to them to cause that to them. I did bad in school over the summer but I’m not asking for pity from anyone because it’s just a class I failed and there’s plenty of people worse off than me in the world.
I “walked” but only because my parents came to graduation. I didn’t like college and was glad to be done with it. It was 4 years of extreme stress.
What was your major and what college did you go to? I can’t wait to transfer to a university because I think I will like my upper division classes more than the general classes I’ve been taking. I’m a Business major, Marketing or Business Economics I’m deciding from. I would go nuts if I didn’t like school. I love school even though it’s not perfect. I definitely like college a lot more than high school.
You have to like college to some degree if you are going to graduate. That’s why most people quit college is because they don’t like school. School isn’t perfect but it still has it’s fun and exciting moments. Checking out the hot girls and teachers is always fun, thinking you did bad on a test but then you find out you actually did at least ok is fun, going to your school’s sporting events is fun, doing good with your grades is fun too because you probably are learning something if that’s the case. I’ve always have thought students learn a hell of a lot more when they are getting good grades than if they were getting bad grades. School is what you make of it.
