My mindset was that it was expected to happen so it wasn't a big deal to me. College was the same as far as I was concerned.

If I took the ACT they give today I would have scored a 34.

I didn't take it seriously, but a lot of people find enjoyment in it.

I felt more proud of my CPA than any high school or college graduation.

Personally I was just happy to get out of that redneck hellhole. Only returned once to see my sister graduate and that will be the last time.

I was actually kind of depressed. Baseball was over, had to start a summer job.

Only had two classes my Sr year, really enjoyed it.

You’re saying that you weren’t excited when you graduated HS?


I wasn’t. I was smart enough to realize that high school was easy. And life would be all downhill from there.

IDK. The people who graduated in 2022 had to spend a couple of their best years with masks and lockdowns. Probably remote learning.

I’d celebrate the end of that too.

The fact that our society makes such a big deal about graduating high school says a lot about how we got where we are.


I can't speak for the rest of the country, but here in S. Louisiana, we'll have a party for pretty much anything. What's more fun than getting family and friends together to celebrate someone special becoming an adult? It's awesome, actually.

And do you celebrate birthdays at all? I mean, all one has to do is be born to have a party if we're following your logic.
