Congratulations To all..  

Does remember me of achieving my own degree in electronics.. in 1985..  every time i see a diploma.. 

That last year we started with 28 then 4 fell off, (in the first few weeks) of the left 24 there went 14 to the exams.. and only seven succeeded for their diploma!  fortunately i was 1 of the seven..  Still know the date, june 19th. why? half an hour after i heard i was graduated i got the news my mother died on a day out.. she never knew..  that day i think turnt within that half an hour from the best into the worst ever..

Sorry for this heavy story, hope no one has to endure this ever..

That's a hard way to set a date to memory! Sorry for that...

Back when I started my degree, they gave the orientation speech... "Shake hands with the students to your right and your left. Because many of those students won't be here come graduation day."

As I shook those hands, I was pretty much 100% positive that I was the one that wouldn't make it.

What a surprise...

They did the same when I did a nickel in federal penitentiary.

Awesome!  Got my BSME over 35 years ago.  In all that time, I think I have only been out of work for two weeks, so it's been a great degree to have.  Now I am trying to get unemployed. ?

Was that Penn State or State Pen?

It wasn't pretty. She never really got anything proper pulled together. One of her other professors felt like the teaching professor sort of left them hanging. It is what it is now. I told her "just get the diploma" and move on.

Somehow I finished my engineering degree.  Lots of problems like that.  Sometimes you just have to write stuff down, so it looks like you have a clue.  I liked Thermodynamics so much I took it twice.  The degree hasn't paid off for me, wish I would've majored in something else, or forgone college altogether.  Student loan debt is a killer...

That's too bad

I took social studies twice but not because I like social studies. I am antisocial like my dog. 

He don't give a flip.
