Here is my selfish rant of the week:
I'm graduating on Friday with my Masters degree. My family has been trying to make a big deal about it. I don't want to make a big deal about graduating. I had every intention of graduating when I decided to enter graduate school, just like I had every intention of graduating when I did my undergrad and high school. It's not that big of a deal to me. I did the work, now I get a piece of paper that says I did the work. Not a big thing. I don't want to have a freaking party with a bunch of people I really don't know telling me how proud of me they are. I didn't do it for you, I did it for me. I got it done and now it's over. I'm going to walk for me, not so you can take pictures for you. It's not like I cured cancer or anything. This was the expectation going in-that I would graduate. I got it done. Meeting expectations isn't that grand of an occasion. No, I don't want graduation gifts, no I don't want a card. If you really feel like celebrating with me then let's go to the bar and raise a glass and say "welp on to the next thing" and move on...
Here endeth the rant.
Haha that's great same here! I graduated the other day with my Respiratory Therapy undergraduate and my small family wanted to have a party. I said the same thing as you, it was my whole intention on graduating! I think that's just how us men think. Don't get me wrong, it is a HUGE accomplish and the majority of folks don't finished their degrees.. but I'm not the party type.
Well, my rant for the day is I haven't been able to be on THP much lately. This ticks me off. A lot. I have been studying for my boards, and I take one tomorrow. So, hopefully a little of this studying will be finished for a short while!
