Journal Journal: Graduation/Commencement
My only question is, what's up with the graduation/commencement aspect of the ceremony? The last time I looked, graduation meant "Conferral or receipt of an academic degree or diploma marking completion of studies." Commencement, on the other hand, means "A beginning; a start."
I understand commencement is supposed to be the "start of your life," but that's stretching things a little far.
Why do I bother?
