18-year-old high schooler refuses to walk at graduation, have a graduation party, attend a graduation dinner, or go on a graduation trip: 'As you can imagine, no one is on my side'

Graduations can be hit or miss. There's something beautiful about the end of an era being marked by a big celebration where you don a funny hat. It gives a sense of completion to all of the years you spent slaving away on your degree. 

My graduations were hit and miss. I liked my high school one a lot better than my college one, probably because I was a lot more excited about finishing high school than college. It felt like my entire family was in town to celebrate, I got to sing the alma mater with the choir, and the sky was a stunning pink the night of graduation. At my college graduation, I was one of tens of thousands of students getting my degree. It was hot as a leather car seat on a summer day, and the speaker was so mediocre. While these weren't the best days of my life by any means, I'm glad I attended.
