Both were boring.

High school was at Lincoln Center. Everyone was reading Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix since it just came out. All I remember about it.

And college was at Radio City Music Hall. Even more boring. All the speeches were about politics and how much Bush sucks. Blah blah blah. I left it early.

My sister's high school one from last year was at least somewhat entertaining since they had Kevin Spacey give the commencement speech. And her school was founded by Tony Bennett so he was there too.

Okay your graduation was in Lincoln and Radio City? My graduation was in my high school gymnasium, so stop bitching about your boring graduation.

Wouldn't have minded that. Seems more proper to actually graduate in the building you're graduating from.

Mine too.

I didn't care much for the HS graduation. In all honesty, I felt as if high-school graduation was handed to me. Despite transferring to a private HS and having a much tougher education, I still felt like everyone in the world who wants to graduates high-school and I didn't see it as an accomplishment. Or at least I felt that was back then.

I look forward to college graduation though, because it feels as though I actually need to put in the time to earn it. I've spent more time on school in the first year here than I ever did in my entire life, combined. It doesn't feel like any of the classes are easy, and it doesn't feel like I'm going to be handed a piece of paper when I walk out the door. I used to think writing a 3 page paper was horrible, and yet my first assignment in computer graphics had a 37 page write-up to go along with the code. When, and if I make it out of here, I think I'll have a completely different outlook on what it took to earn the paper.

Personally, I can't wait.

High School graduation didn't really do anything for me. I mean, it's not that hard to graduate high school. It was a fun time. Now, as I move towards graduating college, I feel a slightly greater sense of accomplishment, but at the same time I'm in a confusing transitional stage with my degree. I do expect to appreciate graduating college much more than high school
