I figured why not get the cap gown and tassel and be extra cheesy and take some grad pics?! I worked damn hard and I am going to be proud of myself! I'd like UMOI swag myself so I'll wait for the store to reopen. I've never been an Alumni before, so I don't even know what the fees for an Alumni would be for HAHAHAHAH!!!
I worked ridiculously hard for many years to finally finish my bachelor's degree so I wanted the full bells and whistles. LOL I took pictures at the lake I live off of with my cap & gown on holding the diploma case. I even brought my gold cord for graduating Summa cum Laude. I earned it!
Some schools charge hundreds of dollars every year for their alumni association. Some are more active than others. It also depends on how close by you are to campus if you'll get much out of it. I'm thrilled to be an alumni! I'm super excited to become an LSU alumni as well this fall. I'll be collecting those tassels and diplomas now! Then I'm off to grad school. I have 2 for associate degrees but they were never really exciting. Might be because of how much work went into my bachelor's degree. Lot of papers!
Hey congratulations by the way! Isn't it an awesome feeling to be a graduate?
