Decorating your graduation cap with your major’s inside joke.
DECORATING YOUR GRADUATION CAP WITH YOUR MAJOR’S INSIDE JOKE.
Follow us for more reflections on the unique journey we all share.
There’s a thread throughout our time here. From the pre-exam "primal scream" that unifies, to whispered legends of secret societies, our institutions are steeped in rituals. Some loved, some tolerated, all shaping our experience.
As senior year closes, new rituals take center stage: the bittersweet countdown, the last all-nighter, then, the cap. Oh, the graduation cap. Far more than academic regalia, it’s a canvas for four years of growth, discovery, and countless inside jokes.
Consider that obscure reference to a niche theory, or a gag about lab equipment wrestled for hours. These aren’t just decorations; they’re badges of honor. They speak a secret language, instantly recognizable to fellow majors, a silent nod to shared struggles, Eureka moments, and profound camaraderie defining your path. A testament to late nights, readings, and intense debates.
This cap, adorned with your specific academic humor, represents a unique journey. It’s a final, public declaration of your niche, your people, the distinct intellectual flavor you brought to these hallowed grounds. As you toss it high, you celebrate not just achievement, but that inside joke, the shared understanding, and the enduring bond forged in these extraordinary institutions. That joke isn’t just yours; it’s ours, a whispered legacy.
