If you’ve been following me from when I joined Hive, you probably read a lot of my rants about school and the stress and everything. I’m very happy that all that is finally over and that I'm entering a new chapter of life.
Yesterday Saturday was the graduation ceremony for my batch, the 2022 class of graduands. A lot of people are going to be surprised to hear that we’re having our graduation ceremony now after almost 6 months of actually graduating. My school has a thing for stalling and that’s how come.
I was excited and anxious at the same time. Excited because it’d be the first time I get to see most of my colleagues after we wrote our last paper on campus 6 months ago, and also because it was our freaking graduation! But also anxious for the same reasons and cos a lot of things happened the night before that had me disoriented and confused. That’ll be a topic for another post though. This post is about my graduation ceremony.
I knew I was going to be stressed at the ceremony because like 5-6 years ago, I was here for my sister’s graduation as well and saw how busy she was and everything(I’ll cover that in a different post too). But man, I didn’t know it would be this stressful.
I mean…it was amazing day and amazing experience, but I can’t ignore the stress it came with as well.
At the beginning of the ceremony, we had the speeches and certificates presented by some very important dignitaries present to the top graduating students. If you wanted to take your certificate, you could, it probably would just be very stressful considering that there was about 5,000 people(probably a lot more) at the graduation. You should’ve seen the on-campus roads - they were stuck on traffic from cars and people! It was a beautifully crazy scene. Lol
Anyways, after the speeches and everything, the graduands basically socialized and relaxed. And when I say socialize, I mean hell broke lose on the photography sessions. It was all clicks on every corner. Families rejoicing and friends reuniting. I realized last night after the ceremony was over and everyone was posting their pictures that a lot more people came than I realized. I thought most of my classmates didn’t come, only to see them post their pictures at the same location yesterday.
It seems the population was sooo big that most of us didn’t run into each other. I did meet a few of them though and we took some pictures as memories to celebrate the probably last times we’ll be seeing each other. Many of them are from the Southern part of Ghana and chances are that we’d never
see each other again after we said goodbye. The thought of that saddened me.
My family was there though. So I didn’t feel alone. One thing about my family is that they’ll always come through. My brother was here the day before (on Friday) to setup a tent for my family ahead of the ceremony. They brought food and drinks and warm hugs, support and words of affirmation. I couldn’t have asked for me.
It certainly was an amazing day and I enjoyed it a lot. I was a little sad when I said my final goodbyes though because it was a certainty that it’d be the last time I’d see most of my colleagues.
Ps: I wrote this post on Sunday but couldn't post because of some extra post-ceremony stuff I had to handle.

This is how graduations works. The clicks here and there, the buzz of being a graduand and the reality that kicks in after having finished everything. Congratulations indeed, the Ghanian native attires are just so colorful, look at that. You look great on that gown by the way. Next up is life after school
Thank you soo much man. Lol I remember when I used to rant a few months back about final year and you passed by my posts encouraging me that it’ll all be over soon. It finally is. Off to the real world it is😊

Awwn.. proud of you and your family for turning up. Congrats on your convocation ceremony. I know how it feels. I do understand the sadness of goodbyes. The only way to stay connected with your long distant coursemates is through social media. That's just the only thing that works at the moment. Between I wish you favourable labour market for the future. All the best!
Congratulations dear friend.
Bro! One day! One day, man! I’ll also wear this gown! The mighty graduation gown. I just want to graduate from this school. I hate school.🥹
Congratulations, my man.
