Crazy Things of Graduation

Princeton University: Out of That Door

There is a “Fitzrandolph gate” on the campus of Princeton University, built-in 1905 and only opened when important visitors and graduates leave school. Every year, new students pass through the gates to join the Princeton group, and each year’s graduates go through the gates, symbolizing their departure from school to society. Nevertheless, the rumor began that any student who had walked through the door would not graduate from school for four years. Although there is no real evidence, many students would rather believe it is true, and they want to take a step and try it. So can you challenge it?

University of Oxford: Throwing Garbage

There are many unwritten traditions at Oxford University. One of the most interesting is the prank celebration after the graduation exam – “trash”. The props are mostly flour, yogurt, eggs, pasta, and even students are attacked by their relatives and friends. In the same window, worse thrown, more popular students are when graduating. It is a shame for Oxford graduates to go out neatly. On this day, the dirtier, the deeper friend loves. Why not try it, although you take a shower after it!

Stanford University: Freak Show

California Institute of Technology: Truancy Day

The annual “play truant” is a good chance for the students. On this day, graduating students would leave their dorm locked with cable, steel bar, and even computer password, leaving only some clues to suggest how to open the door, then all leave school and left lower grade students thinking all day how to enter here and get “loot” — the fourth-grade students of food left. The annual “war” has often left both sides exhausted and happy.

The popular way of all university students is to make Bachelor’s hat. Students can draw anything on it. Sometimes, many caps are humorous. In this way, students want to convey their hard-working to get a degree, and others expressing their excitement about finishing their studies. Some thanks to people who help get a college degree, including parents, gods, and even singer Taylor swift, and even the pet cat has taken a place on the cap.
