NUSWhispers – Confession #67206

Hi, I just graduated from NUS but I did not attend my convocation. To me, as long as I know that I have graduated with decent grades, I am contented. However, my parents feel that I should not have skipped my own convocation (if not the whole world would not know that I am a university graduate). Initially, I felt that if my own graduation ceremony is supposed to be a happy event, I should not feel obligated to entertain others (as I hate socialising). However, after seeing all the graduation photos on Instagram, I'm starting to feel a slight tinge of regret (like 0.1%). I'm not asking for advice, just want to know if there are people who share similar thoughts as me. For me personally, apart from that 0.1% of regret, I feel that there is nothing wrong with not attending your own convocation.
