Graduation is the end of an era. You worked hard to get to the finish line, and it’s finally here.
However, while some may say the real lesson is in the journey, I am of the belief that the most important part of your entire academic existence is the impression you make at graduation. Obviously, your dress needs to wow.
The infamous white graduation dress is the last expression of you as a student in this very time. It is the culmination of all of your academic career. It is the final bow, your last hurrah, your moment to truly shine.
Your graduation dress will live in infamy, in every photo, forever framed on your mother’s mantle. And if you are anything like I was, you have already started the hunt to find that perfect dress.
