Random rant but I thought I'd put it here so I can stop fuming about it.
😛
I am getting my bachelors this May through a program here and decided to walk even though I'm not technically an undergrad anymore. My parents are really busy people with my other five siblings and haven't really been able to be anything other than passively supportive of me, which I can understand. But I was talking to my mom and sister about graduating and they were both complaining about how it was an inconvenience for them to drive 1.5 hours for my graduation because they already went to my induction ceremony for vet school this year. My sister told me that earning my degree was "easy" and therefore I shouldn't walk?
I worked my tail off for that degree. Yeah, the goal was to go to vet school and yeah, I'll probably never directly use my BS but that's doesn't negate the years I put into it. I'm tempted to just skip the drama and ask them not to come. I'm walking across that stage for myself, and not for them, anyway.
