Anyone else not attending their college graduations with intent?

[Sparklette]

I have only walked at 2 graduations. 6th grade, because I didn’t know any better. And my AS, because I was bribed with a new work wardrobe that I needed. I chose to celebrate all the others in my own way and found that more enjoyable. I have a new coworker that is really taken aback that I have no desire to go to my upcoming BA commencement, even though it’s something I could afford. I don’t plan to go to my masters commencement, either. I will go to my PhD ceremony when that happens. Maybe I’m just jaded....but mostly, I don’t like the public celebration.
