Ok, so I'm finishing up grad school this May. This is not the same school where I did my undergrad. I don't have some emotional connection to the school, it was more of a 'while I'm stuck in this town, I might as well get my M.A. and then we'll get out of here.' I have really no interest in spending a couple hundred bucks to get my gown and sash to be able to wear for a few hours. I would rather put that money towards FI and my future. We're hoping to buy a house within the next year.
I know a ton of us are working on our master's degrees and was wondering if anyone else had walking woes. I think my mom is a little upset, but here's the kicker - my brother is graduating the same day about 6 hours away, so I told my parent's to just go to his graduation since they were there when I walked for undergrad which was much more important to me.
