A Graduation ceremony at its best

A year after finishing college, our college convocation was held. It was a hot and humid day. Before the convocation day we were all mailed an invite letter along with instructions to be followed sheet. In that one rule was ‘you are not allowed to bring children below eighteen years of age. They would have probably thought we would have become parents at this point of time. After four years of emptying our pockets they even charged thousand bucks as registration fee. For gods sake why do we have to register for our own graduation. Then for undergraduates they gave black robes and for post graduates yellow robes. It was thirteenth convocation ceremony and for thirteen years they have been giving the same robes and the robes were stinking. The chief guest gave the certificates himself only for the gold medal people and it was three of them. For the rest of us they distributed the certificates before hand and we have to carry those to the stage and pose to the camera like we are receiving from the chief guest. The person who is calling names on the stage will be calling out name of one person but the one who is presently on the stage will be entirely a different person. Then we were all given packed lunch which was below average. And then we dispersed and that’s how my graduation ceremony went.
