That moment when you're standing on stage next to receive your certificate from the campus director and they call out the wrong name twice in front of hundreds of people. You think omg my parents are probably wondering wtf and you're looking at the person like, 'Wth. Really?!' And then finally the right name is called and your last name is pronounced horribly wrong.
I went to leave my seat after receiving my certificate and I was told by the same person who said my name on stage, I had to stay for the final ceremony outta respect for my classmates. Ummm no I'm just gonna get up and go take my grad photos and leave so I can go eat some Viet food. Honestly I've never been one to follow the crowd. Like I'm gonna sit beside folks who smell of strong B O for another hr. Disgusting.
In conclusion I treated my parents out to a meal after at my favourite Viet restaurant downtown. They said that was the best Viet food they've had in a long time, reminded them of back home in Vietnam. Honestly that's good enough for me for final ceremonies lol.
