i graduate this december and honestly i’m more excited than if i were to graduate in may!! it’ll likely be less packed plus i’ll take cute fall/winter senior pictures!

my friends who did that still walked in may <3 you can check to see if it's an option at your school so you can have the "normal" commencement but without the extra semester tuition!:4

I graduated in May, my bestie graduated in December, lowkey despite it being way fewer people obviously, it didn’t feel any different. The excitement and energy is the same, and frankly at least at my school which is quite massive having a smaller ceremony/fewer people in town for grad weekend in general was quite nice. It was easier to bar hop 💀 we’re also in a hot af climate so having a tolerable temp outside also helped. It depends on a lot but I wouldn’t worry about it

I graduated in December and I liked it my grad pictures were taken in the mountains in deep snow it’s awesome

No difference. It’s more relaxing tbh. Stress free early
