Tis the season for graduations! Sweet parties, gifts to roll in, and money to blow. Tell your stories here!

For myself i got a nice chunk of change. among these were awesome gifts

A toaster! (Great for college life, i love toast)
Some new violin strings (REALLY Needed those)
A NEW IPAD 2 32GB!!! (Enough said)
well that is about all. After my party, went to a good friends party, hung out till now (1AM) And then went home. was great, we had a big bonfire until the wind picked up. then we went to the basement, and watched scream. (I HATE HORROR MOVIES)

Anyone else got good stories?

I slept after graduating! But since I slept for a while during the day, I am stuck awake at 2AM CST.

Not this year, but I graduated High School on Friday, June 13th and the sky was a light orangey-red. I have a photo somewhere.

I've never graduated from anything.

You graduated from my heart <3

That means he left.

No it doesn't. It means he got a degree. Now he's doing his post-doc work.

I never had the chance to participate to a graduation party, because we never had close to enough money to afford to buy or rent the necessary clothes that go with it and there were no way to return home afterward since none of my friends were participating either and city bus ended a few hours before the party.

The only good graduation story I have this year is my girlfriend's Bachelors of Engineering graduation from my alma mater. It wasn't bad; the speaker was Walter Isaacson, the biographer of Steve Jobs, with whom I of course don't exactly see eye to eye. I went to lunch with my girlfriend and her parents at a French restaurant that my mother and I like to visit on special occasions.
