It’s all officially over. University life is no more. Sure I finished my last exam in November of last year but after attending the graduation ceremony this morning, it’s a reminding realisation that it’s the end of 4 years hard work.

I, along with a few others there, had two degrees under our belts so shouldn’t we receive two bands? I know that sounds extremely wanky but on the flip side, we did essentially study for a separate degree so shouldn’t it show? If the phD students get orange robes, the least we could have got was an extra band.
