10 Stages of Attending a Sister’s Graduation

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Northwestern chapter.

It is that time of year again: graduation time. So, take a seat at your sibling’s graduation, and experience the wave of emotions wash over you. 

 

  1. It is HOT out here! Why do they pick the warmest day for graduation? 

  2. AHHH so many caps and gowns! WHERE IS MY SISTER!

  3. FOUND HER! Oh my, she looks so beautiful!

  4.  She grew up so fast! This needs to stop. I feel so old now. 

  5. Okay, speeches, speeches, and more speeches. Maybe, if I just sleep for a little bit….

  6.  Did I hear her name? WOAH! WOAH! THAT’S MY SISTER! GO GRADUATE!

  7. Finally, it’s over…. Now I just need to find her in this crowd of unmoving people and TACKLE HER!

  8. Family picture time. I know it’s all her graduation today, but I look good if I do say so myself. 

  9. Wait one second. This is going to be ME one day. I am going to graduate too…

  10. I’ll deal with that later…Right now I am so gosh darn proud of her!
