For students, one of the greatest things that they can
experience is to be able to finish the endeavor that they chose. Some are took
four years course and some a little faster and some are a little longer courses
that the country has to offer.
Graduation is one of the days that all of the students
are hoping for, marching up in the stage to get their certificate and other
stuff that they could receive. And in this time of the year, most college and
universities hold their annual commencement exercises to show the world their
fresh graduates, who despite the hardships of the students from their staffs to
the teachers, were able to finish up the prescribed subjects with a passing to
good grades.
And just like most of the graduating students, I’ll be
taking up the stage this April 16, 2014 and will be wearing my black toga again
in the PICC Plenary Hall. But that is already a finished event so I’ll just be
giving you guys some piece of advice when you are going to have your graduation
day.
1.) Sleep Early
The night before the event, make sure that you have a
good night sleep so that you can have a fresh face in the morning and energy
while on the program, because, the graduation will be long and a lot of time
will be taken from you. So, you really need to get that sleep so you won’t get
sleepy during the program and ruin your make up or make your face like you
haven’t sleep for ages.
2.) Eat a hearty breakfast
Just like in an interview, one must have a complete
energy build up and that includes taking up a good breakfast to jump start the
day. Sometimes, the program can be so long and you won’t have a chance to eat a
snack inside the perimeter since some convention centers don’t like the people
bringing food and messing up the place with food crumbs and the sort and
that’ll just add the cleaning expense. So eat up a heavy meal and make sure
that you have digested a few minutes before going out.
3.) Be Early
When the program says that the assembly time is, for
example, 7:30 AM, then you should be at the place at 7:30AM pronto, don’t take
too much time in the bathroom fixing your make up, or on your hair. This could
also be a time to take up pictures since almost all of you are fresh from the
house.
If you know that it’ll going to have a medium to heavy
traffic congestion on the road to the program, then take the road early and
expect traffic in different places. That’ll make you prepared.
4.) Be Prepared
It’s important that you have prepared all the things that
you are going to need such as the toga, the cap, the program, the ticket, your
camera, as well as a tissue or hankie. Your clothes should also be prepared
before you sleep. Remember, those who come prepared regret nothing.
5.) Be Comfortable
Wear the clothes that make you comfortable, if you think
that it’ll be too cold in the area, wear something that could protect you from
cold, but not heavily dressed as to make you sweaty and irritable when there
are a lot of people in the room.
Also, if you are having an upset stomach, be sure that
you take up medicine that your doctors prescribed so that you won’t end up
being in the toilet too much. Make sure that you are enjoying yourself. After
all, this is your special day right?
So there you have it. Graduation Day is one of the
happiest days of my life and I am sure that for everyone else too. Remember, be
prepared, and don’t let something take that away from you just because you
forgot something or haven’t prepared at all. Take your time preparing and be
there fresh and early. After that, it’s time to celebrate with your family. I
have experienced graduation twice and it never ceases to amaze me and make me
happy. This marks the 10th day in my 50
Days of Happiness Challenge.
