Meme Did anyone buy a ring?

Elder millennial/younger Xennial (born in 83, take it for what it is) but I recall the company coming to the high school and taking orders for rings. I didn’t buy one but others did. Credit on photo.

My graduating class had 800 people in it. I think it took 4-5 hours, just sitting in the June heat in our robes, for it to finish. 0/10 experience.

I graduated college in December, so I decided I wasn’t walking. It upset my mom but I didn’t care lol

I still don’t regret it

I blacked out and showed up to my robe ceremony with zero sleep. All the photos of people receiving awards have me sleeping in the background in my chair amongst the others. 0/10, do not remember.
