You handed in all your work, you’re finished! Now it's time to get ready for your Graduation Day.
Graduation is a time-honoured ceremony that celebrates all your hard work and achievements and signals a transition into an exciting new phase of life.
It is a joyous occasion, but there is a lot to prepare for! With what to wear, who to invite, what to say, you’ll have a lot on your mind. So we have put together a few tips to help you make the most out of your big day...
Fuel yourself beforehand
Graduation ceremonies can take a long time. You'll want to keep your energy levels up, so make sure you eat well beforehand so that you don’t have to worry about your tummy rumbling.
Soak up the love
For your family, your graduation ceremony means a lot as they see you reach a major milestone. Their pride and joy may lead to be extra affectionate. Try not to be embarrassed by their gestures. Instead, embrace the moment, hug them back and soak up the endorphins.
Be in the moment
Everyone loves a picture and documenting the day on social media and there will be plenty cameras aimed at you. You may feel a little self-conscious being the centre of attention and have a jaw-ache from smiling - but take a deep breath and remember this day is probably the only graduation day in your life, so enjoy it fully.
Take a moment to reflect
When you have a minute to yourself, either in the morning or during the ceremony, think back to all that you've achieved during your time at university and the qualities you've gained.
