Unique Ideas for Online Student Graduation Celebrations
Apr 19th, 2007
For students completing an online degree in the coming weeks, graduation can be a sore spot. One of the biggest accomplishments of your life is finished – but, your school is halfway across the nation and you won't recognize anyone at its ceremonies.
I know the feeling…One of my biggest regrets from my college years is not attending my own graduation or at least inviting friends out for a night on the town. Sappy as it is, I wish I had taken the time to celebrate my hard work.
So, don't put away the streamers and party hats. An About.com article explains:
"Graduating from an online university can be surprisingly depressing. You've worked hard, done well in your classes, and have truly earned your degree. Without the traditional cap-throwing, gown-wearing, sappy music-playing graduation ceremony, finishing coursework can sometimes feel anticlimactic. But, don't let that get you down. Many online graduates find their own way to celebrate."
