When is everyone celebrating? - rlw74 - 07-04-2017
So if you are graduating in September when do you plan to celebrate? When the final audit is finished? When the degree confers? When you get the diploma in the mail? Normally, I would say the best time to celebrate is when one walks but I don't plan to walk. In September I'll be busy with my kid's schooling /sports etc. So, even though all my coursework is finished, I don't really feel like it's official. Maybe it will hit be after I have that piece of paper in hand. Right now it just feels surreal.

I discussed this with the folk at my job. Decided to celebrate with close folk when the capstone ends. And then an 'official' celebration when I travel to visit my parents, which will be a few weeks after the diploma arrives. I'm having the diploma framed and leaving it with my mother because it is the sort of thing that means more to her.

I will be celebrating after commencement. I am planning to drive down to commencement and then as soon as that is over with I am going to shoot over to Atlantic City. That will be my mini celebration. I was trying to line up a cruise for Late October of this year but had to settle for April of next year. I am going to use that as my big celebration!! Even though by then I will probably have begun working on my masters haha.

Congrats to you for finishing! Woo hoo... so, why celebrate so late?
I would just celebrate with the closest family and friends once I get the parchment.
It could be a simple dinner at home or bbq/potluck thing, or splurge by going out.
