What Happend Before, During and After Graduation Day
I was scrolling in my Facebook's newsfeed, then I saw that most posts are about graduation, and I feel so happy seeing my friends and people that I personally know posting thier photos about their celebration, not only in college but also in elementary and secondary; just like my younger brother that he is going to graduate from grade 12.
Seeing those stuffs, it brings back the time of my very own graduation, I was a President in our class before and everytime there's videos or other memes about a president crying, just because the class is too noisy and not following him/her, then my friends keeps on mentioning me. And I was like, it's too cringe thinking about me that time. Lol
Back to graduation topic, I would like to bring back those funny and unforgettable moments before, during and after graduation day. Hopefully, you can relate to this too.

Before Graduation
Signing of clearances, Tuition and more expenses
Yes, it's a relief to finally have your graduation but before that, these 3 things that I have mentioned above are always present. Ofcourse school is a business in disguise, I don't know if you get what I mean but yes it is. During my secondary, we cannot focus on graduation practices as we need to think about our clearance, where and when can we found the teachers because during the signing of clearance they become invisible, and if you are not scholar or sponsor in any organization, you keep on thinking how will you fully paid the tuition, and to pay those toga, tokens and more.
Daily Practices
This is the part wherein we are happy because class no more, but struggling from too much heat falling in line to do the march, and to keep on repeating from the start everytime there's a mistake. This is also the time when you need to be a singer, lol. Just like the teacher assigned for our graduation practices, he is so strict and we need to harmonized and open our mouth wide, so we can sing it all well.
During Graduation
Hair Rebond
Okay, I don't know to my foreign friends if this is common in your country, but in the Philippines most girls are on rebond during graduation day. You will get surprise on girl's transformation, no buhaghag for today's video.
Force to take a picture
Most moms are like this, they will force you to stand on the stage on where they like to take a picture of you wearing your toga and the ribbon/candy garland. This is too sweet, but sometimes it's too awkward, and if you're a shy type seems like everyone are looking at you.
Crying baby
Girls, I know this is common to girls, crying because they are thinking they will seperate with their bestfriends and classmates. Then you will just find out that they are still classmate the next year.
After Graduation
Going to mall or restaurant
As I observed most schools prefer to conduct graduation in mall's convention center. Perfect place to do shopping after the ceremony and to eat in restaurant. Here, the favorite place is Jolibee. If you're going to go in Jolibee during graduation day most people in line are parents with their daughter/son wearing toga. By the way, some prefer to buy cake or just to have celebration in their house.
I know there are more scenarios before, during and after graduation, you can share at the comment section on what other things I forgot to include.

Forced to take pictures? :D I didn't realize that but now that you mentioned it, it does seem to be true. They don't give us the choice to have our pictures taken or not, did they? :D :D
