Don’t have anybody to come to my graduation
Posted by Mother-Tomato8815@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 327 comments
So I am a master’s student here and am from another country. My friends just look down on me, and my boyfriend even made fun of me that nobody is coming to my graduation (his parents are coming from India). It’s so embarrassing that nobody is coming to my graduation. I might get two tickets, is anybody interested in coming?
NewSpace2@reddit
There’s going to be an update, right?!
BatterUp1600@reddit
While there are some wonderful people in the thread, please be careful. Be cautious. Not every stranger is nice or safe. And dump that no-good boyfriend, cultivate actual friends who cherish you.
outlawpoetoftx@reddit
Damn well ur boyfriend sounds cool asf what's his name I wanna go to his graduation?
Kind-Realist@reddit
I’ll go with you, make a TON of noise, and take you for ice cream (or whatever you want really)! You just say when and where.
BF can’t join.
Gay dude. Can meet before. Will bring other girl friends if you want some real raucousness. We got you! ❤️
Also, congratulations!!!! 🥳👏🏼🎉🍾
Lurcher99@reddit
Do I see a old fashioned Reddit "meetup" being planned??
jagastrock@reddit
YES!
jagastrock@reddit
What day? Where is it? If I can-I’ll show up in the most conspicuous way possible. And after that all of the other redditors who also show up will take you out for cocktails and talk to you about how to handle asshole friends and BF who are making fun of/looking down on you.
Because ain’t NOBODY got time for that.
I’m not kidding about this.
grandpatrey@reddit
This is the best answer Ive seen, if I can hire you and your girlfriends for my level one improv show coming up in a few weeks PLEASE let me know! You're fantastic ❤️
Kind-Realist@reddit
You don’t gotta hire us! I’ll buy tickets! But we’re damn sure gonna hype you up (and get ice cream, or whatever you want after)! ❤️
Break a leg queen (or king, or simply royal, if you prefer)! 💅🏼
grandpatrey@reddit
You are a fantastic person and the world is better with beautiful folks like you. Thank you for brightening up a dreary world ❤️
Kind-Realist@reddit
You are too kind! But also, where’s this show? I’m working on a group now.
grandpatrey@reddit
I dont know the full details yet, other than its sunday May 3rd in deep ellum in the afternoon. When the link for tickets is live Ill reach out to you! Have a great week ❤️
Ninjanaught@reddit
I am also taking classes at Dallas Comedy Club! I'll come see your show!
grandpatrey@reddit
Oh nice! What class are you taking?
Ninjanaught@reddit
I just finished level 1 long form, and I enrolled in level 2 that starts in June.
grandpatrey@reddit
We may be classmates 👀 lets catch a show sometime over there!
Ninjanaught@reddit
Haha, let's do! I am planning on crate going to the jam on Wednesday. I am also down to catch pretty much any show.
grandpatrey@reddit
Ill be at the jam for the first time this week. A little anxious about it but excited as well.
Ninjanaught@reddit
It's super fun and everyone is really supportive and welcoming! You'll have a blast.
Jen5253@reddit
I want to go as well!!!
grandpatrey@reddit
I may just make a post or something lol, feel weird doing that but yall are so interested!! Very kind, thank you ❤️
Kind-Realist@reddit
That’s right by my apartment! Definitely keep us posted!!!
JohnnyStarboard@reddit
Spill the deets! I’m in!
Ninjanaught@reddit
Oh my god, this is making my heart so happy. I wish I had seen this before my level one improv show last Sunday. Most of my people are no longer here. I will absolutely hit up this sub when my lvl 2 class comes up in a couple of months.
fueledbytisane@reddit
I want the deets too. My daughter isn't in any sports or anything and I really want to live out my "embarrassing mom loudly supporting her kids, ideally with a noisemaker" dreams.
coolpupmom@reddit
It’s been a while I’ve seen such a wholesome thread!! Thank you for giving me hope for humanity! It’s nice seeing a ray of sunlight during these rough times. Keep being you!! ♥️
mmarxo@reddit
Can I join too?
GoldenGoof19@reddit
I want to go too!!
SparkleTruths@reddit
Ummm I want to be one of your girlfriends too lol. You sound super fun!
LindseyForGarland3@reddit
Well damn, I want to go too! 😆
wholelattapuddin@reddit

Crunchat1zeM3C4pn@reddit
I will bring my gf to your show! DM me the details!
Extension_Employ_865@reddit
With all this support I think we need to turn this into a graduation party afterwards!
Outrageous_Ratio6701@reddit
I'm choking up at this kind offer. What a decent and kind human you are!!🥰🥰🥰
214carey@reddit
You deserve all of the accolades and more, but I’m just gonna say it because no one has said it yet: username check out 😁♥️
Live_Bit_7000@reddit
Hey man, I just don’t see OP responding. Considering that OP said bf is Indian, OP is likely Indian herself and sadly many Indians are homophobic, I don’t see op enthusiastic about you (a gay man) joining. Let’s see what OP says. Either way you are an awesome cool gay dude for stepping up.
greelraker@reddit
Can I ask you to come cheer for me at a race? I’ll buy the ice cream for you and your raucous entourage after!
amesfrenchie@reddit
I wanna join the support gaggle of girls and gays! We all need more of this positive energy in our lives.
Andrasta@reddit
I am stuck at home with little children, but would gladly kick some dollars towards ice cream or other cheer party accoutrement! Let us know where to support a lil'? 🙏
OP -- Hearty Congratulations, Dear! 🎉 I hope you get a whole throng of loving random strangers cheering for you. 🫶
No_Pilot_9103@reddit
Now this is what social media was intended for.
EntireToe8821@reddit
I’ll come too! I can make posters, take pics of you on the podium from all angles, drag your bf through the dirt in the parking lot, and cry tears of joy as you’re handed your diploma!
rokkcs@reddit
I just moved across the country but came into the sub to lurk before leaving and just had to drop a line here - you seem like a genuinely good person and happy to see support like this.
Thank you.
InevitableMaybe@reddit
Oh my goodness, can we be friends? Love this energy!!
urnotserious@reddit
This is nice of you bro. Thank you for doing this.
Best-Cancel-2106@reddit

Hell yeah I can go too, count me in.
invictus523@reddit
I'll go! I attended college for the first time at age 40 and proceeded to get five degrees, including a PhD. Everyone in my family ostracized me and still thinks I made bad choices. No one came to my graduations either (kids came to the early ones). I would love to join "gay dude" LOL to celebrate you and also happy to meet before. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
GoldenGoof19@reddit
Awww that’s amazing!!! That’s so cool that you did that
gt0163c@reddit
You are a good human. We need more people like you in this world.

soggyballsack@reddit
Wish you were in my life when I graduated.
ptrang1987@reddit
Hey, I just want to let you know that you’re an amazing person for standing in to be there along with bringing some friends.
Side note: the BF needs to be a ex-BF at this point.
local_crow_@reddit
Love this energy and support for a stranger. Good things like this come back around 🫶
jagastrock@reddit
When? Where? I’m in.
thereminchick@reddit
It looks like you’ve got plenty of takers at this point, but I just wanted to say congratulations and well done!! Coming from another country and getting your Master’s degree here in the US is an absolutely incredible accomplishment. You should be so proud of yourself—I’m proud of you! You’re going to do even more amazing things from here!!
Minute-Grade-7693@reddit
Shoot when is graduation I’ll go!!!🥳🥳
badussygreatness@reddit
lmk when i’ll try to come!! and dump that man wtf
nangatan@reddit
Middle aged lady here who would absolutely show up and shout and bring flowers! Let me know when and where! A masters is an amazing accomplishment, be super proud of yourself!! Heck I might be able to do cupcakes or a cake if its not super soon! Looks like you have a big group wanting to come cheer you on!
Total-Information420@reddit
Old lady here who thinks this sounds like a terrific gathering for a terrific reason! I’m ready to join y’all to cheer & hype!
OkDelivery4126@reddit
When ia the graduation I may go support you
SuccessfulIntern8884@reddit
And I too late to say, "I will come"?
SufficientAnt2033@reddit
Sent you a text.. would love to go on yours. Cause I also dont have anyone waiting for my parents to get visa approved so yeah I will join you
SeaCow_216@reddit
If you’re honestly in the same situation then my response is the same. Provide the deets and I’ll be there. If it’s UTD I live down the street in Richardson. And I have nothing going on.
ParsecAA@reddit
I can cheer you on if it's at UTD too!
Pinkglorified@reddit
Any UTD folks, I graduated last December would love to attend yours and cheer!!
GoldenGoof19@reddit
Same for me too!
TheCrimsonMustache@reddit
I’ll go!
Dear_Many_9649@reddit
Here in Dallas, happy to be there for you and with you! I did my masters here as well and very small circle to cheer me
BeverlyTX1@reddit
When is the graduation?
Hopeful-Hand-3732@reddit
How about we all meet up after they exit the building? This will allow us all to cheer on their accomplishment and show support. We could even make it a group meal for those of us that are able and willing?
Worth-Shelter-9825@reddit
I moved to Dallas last year and I would like to join!! Hmu!!!
Impossible-Manner223@reddit
Hi honey stranger - so proud of you and congrats. Please reconsider your boyfriend as a true soul mate would never belittle you or intentionally make you feel bad. Muah!
tlos_85@reddit
Congratulations to you on your upcoming graduation! I will go to support you and celebrate your graduation! I was a former international student with no one attended my undergrad graduation so I know how you feel. Asian male here and happy to meet up before hand if that would make you feel comfortable.

Do you need an Indian uncle to show? I’m an Indian American who is happy to support and take everyone for snacks or something.

And you need Pakistani friends, my husband and I will show up!!
annhik_anomitro@reddit
Need a Bangladeshi guy there too? I'll be there for you.
Direct-Ant7828@reddit
Best example that when you put idiotic politics aside, those three countries can get along because they have some of the best people on earth.
annhik_anomitro@reddit
It's the politicians. Our nation isn't currently freindly with India, actually India is making it harder and harder. The country enabled a dictator who stole couple of hundred billions, destroyed education, economy, killed thousands, made corruption a very normal thing. They tried to create a puppet, got what they wanted and in the meantime blamed people from our nation as the sole problem in many of their societal issues. They almost sucked us dry, literally. Our rivers are dry, our agriculture is suffering.
At the very end people revolted and uprooted the fascist dictator. But where they escape or who they're being shetered by and still being enabled to cause issue & chaos inside our coutry - the current power in India. The current politicans in India they want to be temu puppet masters, but not good neighbours. Their politics really affecting everyone around them and everyone is trying to distance themselves from India.
Really sounds like one sided blaming, and a vast shift from the brotherhood shown above. But you can look it all up and fact check.
We're so close together, half of the Bengali people live in India and the other half is in Bangladesh. Our culture, food, clothing, literature, media is indistinguishable. Still, the divide caused by the politicians and power hungry corrupt people is very visible and a harsh reality.

Springaloe@reddit
I hope you’ll find someone to come to your ceremony. You really need to dump your boyfriend. He sounds like a jerk.
upliftinglitter@reddit
OP, your bf and friends are not your friends. Please rethink these relationships. You’re an amazing person— graduating from a country you don’t know anyone in, being able to ask for the support you need— never forget that and hang only with the people here to support you!

If you need a pair of stand-in siblings who can cheer for you in Hindi, Telugu, and English, hit me up 😄
ElHombreDorado214@reddit
Hey OP I feel like I wouldn't be able to join(with so many people requesting), but I can offer a free mini shoot of you in your cap and gown attire for you at no cost. Let me know if it's something you'd like done, I got you. You must be celebrated and what better way than to show your family some beautiful portraits of yourself.

If you still end up needing folks, I’m in!!!
Marjayoun@reddit

Also as mentioned you need to jettison the useless childish albatross previously known as boyfriend.

Second this. He’s trash!
9bikes@reddit
>Girl, break up with him
Reddit always says that, but this time it sounds warranted.
It is normal for friends to tease one another about silly little things, but this is far too far. You should never tease, or accept teasing, about the kind of things that are genuinely hurtful.
This is a big red flag for a potentially abusive relationship. It is very common for an abusive man to start by isolating his partner from friends and family by convincing her that he's the only one who cares.

So glad you got so many people to want to attend your graduation I would def show up and be cheering so loud you'd think I had a megaphone 🤣🤣🤣
Pure-Breath-6885@reddit

One more to say ditch the boyfriend. If he acts like this while you’re dating, he’s not going to improve when you’re married. Congratulations on your Masters. Now you get to start a new chapter in life and leave this dud behind.

Girl break up with him. When my girlfriend (now wife) and I were in the same situation 10+ years ago, her family couldn't come from overseas, and most of my family was coming, they just cheered her on louder than they did for me. She's far more lovable, I agree. Look for that. Looks like you'll have a big crowd if you DM some of these fine folks responding. Congrats OP!
spoodlat@reddit
This gives me hope for humanity. 💜
Autumnfalcon1@reddit
You’re gonna need a lot more than two tickets. I’m over in east Dallas, ready to decorate signs, bring the noise, and hype you up! Congrats on a huge accomplishment
lildankfingers@reddit
Didn’t have anyone come to mine either. Take time to remember that you did it but I feel you. The most important stuff in life is still to come!
adlct5@reddit
Dump the man! If you still got tickets, I’d love to come! I’ll have to see if I can block that day first for work. Congratulations 🎉

Hi! Which university is it? And the date? I recently graduated in December with my partner. His fam couldn’t be there so I took my cousins to support. Would love to watch you walk the stage
Empress_Clementine@reddit
If it makes you feel any better, nobody in my husband’s family attends graduations. It’s not out of spite or anything they just see graduation as something you’re suppose to do and can’t comprehend celebrating normal life events.
johnnyma45@reddit
You are going to have the biggest cheering section. Congratulations!
OkWork7362@reddit
I’d love to come!!!! Even if the ticket is taken, can we celebrate after?!?!? Let me know!!!!! When and where and I’ll be there!!!!

These_Concentrate160@reddit
I’ll go! I can be your white grandmother. If your friends look down on you honey, they’re not your friends! But honestly I’m willing to go. I made a lot of noise when my daughter’s name was announced. I yelled at the top of my lungs “That’s my daughter”. She heard me from up there.
Mapatx@reddit
I went back to school to get a B.S in German, no one cared. I’m in grad school for M.A , you are awesome! I’ll gladly attend!
Temporary-Flatworm13@reddit
I’ll come if you don’t have anyone to attend still
princefruit@reddit
There's already plenty of people willing to go, and I know you only have so many tickets, so I'll just say congrats on your Masters, and I hope as you gain your degree, you can drop the friends and boyfriend. We can't always choose family but we can choose our friends, and if those "friends" steal joy from your life, then they're just pests in disguise. I hope through this you make new friends who will uplift you and celebrate your accomplishments!

break up with this guy. you’re doing something awesome and he should be proud and happy for you! congratulations on your accomplishments!
Ok-Violinist4433@reddit
If you already haven’t secured 2 people to attend and support you. I’ll go! Reach out! Let’s celebrate you! I’m a woman who was the first in my family to graduate from a university so I understand the gravity. And you have Mastered it! This moment matters! Congratulations to you!
Gullible-Yoghurt9937@reddit
Your boyfriend is an asshat trying to kill your big moment. There’s nothing funny about that. I suggest getting new friends and a new boyfriend after graduation. Congratulations grad 🫵🏽🎊
GoldenGoof19@reddit
I’ll go!! I’ll be your auntie and take photos and cheer for you and take you out to a super nice dinner afterwards.
Your boyfriend isn’t invited. If he can’t be super proud of you and supportive and there for you when other people let you down, then he doesn’t deserve to celebrate with you. I can’t tell you what to do with your relationship, but I can tell you that you deserve much better treatment.
I’m proud of you! Getting your masters is so hard!! You’re doing something amazing!!
fueledbytisane@reddit
Commenting to +1 what you said about deserving better treatment. Life is hard, but your partner shouldn't be one of the reasons why.
TheDottieDot@reddit
This thread makes me so happy and gives me so much hope for humanity. Even surrounded by people, life can make you feel small and lonely sometimes. It’s nice to know that there are good people out there that are ready and willing to go and support a stranger in need.
Congrats on your graduation! That’s an amazing accomplishment and deserves celebration. Your boyfriends comments are super awful. Focus on your big day, not his negativity!
Commercial-Hold-8720@reddit
Congratulations! You have so much grit and you’re smart, please don’t let this bring you down (or your boyfriend). A masters degree as a foreign student and without family near by?? You can accomplish anything for real
IAmSixNine@reddit
Time to get rid of the friends and boyfriend who are not being supportive of you. Sounds like u/Kind-Realist is a top candidate for new friends. Keep us posted. and congratulations on getting your masters.
StarZ030609@reddit
Love these comments and would LOVE an update post after graduation! How did it go? Who did you pick? How did you pick them? Glad you increased from zero to too many! Congrats on your degree, as well!
masonjar014@reddit
Sounds like an ex-boyfriend to me
Gekko8@reddit
For one, ditch him, he will only drag you down more over time mocking you for this amazing accomplishment. Secondly, I would go as well as the hundreds mentioned here, I would even bring my son to have a good role model to look up to (even if he at 5 doesn't understand). Lmk if the stands are not already sold out 🤭
annabelleisyomamma@reddit
GIRL, i will be there!!!
view-from-the-edge@reddit
Girl, your graduation gift is that you found out your boyfriend is a dead end before you married him. Break up with that loser and enjoy your graduation with either the gay dude or the guy with the Nepali wife!!
YouDownWithTPP@reddit
When and where?
SpookyKittyC@reddit
Your friends are not your friends if that’s how they treat you. Thank God there are so many beautiful people here offering to share in your special day! ❤️ Congratulations! 🎊🎉
Jaysmkxxx@reddit
I’d gladly go! And if you can, dump that boyfriend! He suck’s!
justcallmejenn@reddit
Put me in line to be there for you if there's an available ticket. Your accomplishments should be celebrated! I will throw in a dinner and take you for ice cream to celebrate. I need a reason to get dressed up and be happy and celebrating YOU sounds like the perfect reason to do so!
iam_spr@reddit
I’ve been in your shoes and I didn’t have a job when I graduated with no one around. I’m happy to come by and celebrate it with you!
Direct_Ad_7053@reddit
Ditch the boyfriend. He should be there for you and supporting you during this time.
ZestyMuffin85496@reddit
I went to my graduation alone because I alone was the one that did the work. It was for myself.
Hold your head high and don't worry about going alone.
Ghosthost2000@reddit
I can bring my cow bell!
Weird_Still178@reddit
Tell us when and Where!! Id use PTO for you! Congratulations!!! Dump the extra weight!! Eff him. You our girl now!! 🫶
Pripyatic@reddit
Drop the time and place! We will pull through for you.
thehuggyduggy@reddit
First off, big congratulations on your graduation!! Me and my wife are happy to come and even scream your name out loud when they call you up on the stage!! When is the graduation anyway?
Tight_Cat_80@reddit
Congratulations!!!!!!!! A masters is something everyone in your circle should be celebrating as it’s such a huge accomplishment. I forgot the percentage that they shared when I got my masters from LSU in 2023, but I think something like only 11% of people have a masters in the US?
This first generation college grad, Mexican American mama is so proud of you!!!! I truly hope those that have stood up in the comments to be your chosen family will rally around you and shower you with love and screams so loud It drowns out those that aren’t being supportive! We got you!!
Fave_color_glitter@reddit
My parents also did not come to my college graduation 💔 They “didn’t like my degree”. I’m sorry!! And CONGRATULATIONS 🎊
USMCLee@reddit
Congratulations!!!
That is a great accomplishment.

I have a zoom lens I can snap pics for you and make noise
orthodoxscouter@reddit
Your friends suck, and so does your boyfriend. I think you need new ones.
EconomyApplication24@reddit
I’d love to join you and support this amazing accomplishment!! If you can get more tickets, seems like you’ll have a large group showing for you. I’ll even wait outside the venue to celebrate you!
Puzzled_Praline3588@reddit
Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️ I hope after graduation you find better friends and a more empathetic boyfriend. You deserve better! Even though your family won’t be there doesn’t mean they aren’t super proud of you!
noretreatz@reddit
Wow that’s horrible, shame on your husband. I will come, cheer for you!
Junior-Trust7650@reddit
I graduated from UTD without anyone being there for me! I’d like to come cheer for you as well
fundlebundle01@reddit
Me and my boyfriend would love to go!!
jenrockett@reddit
Looks like you have a ton of new friends wanting to show up and support you, including me! When is it? Are sure you can only get 2 tickets? 😬
Actual_Emergency_666@reddit
I'm 25 year old girl in dallas and I'll come to your graduation covered in paint or ringing bells or whatever feels right for you
CthuluHoops@reddit
Let us know how it goes!
pcp777_@reddit
Rejoice in your accomplishments. As you get older, the opinions of other people will be less important.
Congratulations!
Personally, I didn't even attend mine.
Christopher_Molina@reddit
Are you a UTD student?
dallasdame@reddit
First all, congrats! That's such a huge accomplishment! Would love to attend and cheer you on!

Do a graduation party, I'll definitely show up for both, fuck your friends and bf, we are all so happy for you.
happyreddithuman@reddit
When? How embarrassed would you like to be? Can I bring an air horn?
chikalin@reddit
Congratulations! I'm so proud of you! A Masters is a huge accomplishment!
Junspinar@reddit
Congrats!
WestHistorians@reddit
Not having anyone to come to graduation is a pretty common situation with foreign students. Not everyone's parents can make the trip due to cost, visa issues, etc. Don't worry about it, your classmates will still cheer you on. Just go and have fun.
iheartfluffyanimals@reddit
Love all the love! OP, Here’s your moment! Take it and run!
TragicEE@reddit
I wanna go
Emotional-Change-722@reddit
Where and when? I’m a Mom.
Buffalosauceplease@reddit
Firstly, congratulations!!! Secondly, I'm sorry that you don't have loved ones around you that are supportive of you and your hard work.. I know it's easy for me to say "dump your bf!!" but a partner is supposed to be supportive and it's ridiculous that he isn't as well as your "friends." I am proud of you and I wish you all the best!!
FJH1KING@reddit
We’ll all celebrate with you!
texan01@reddit
I’ll go! You’ve got a lot of people rooting for you now!
justonemom14@reddit
Count me in. Where's the after party?
Helpful-Ad-1042@reddit
Masters??
Girl wtf. You did that shit, I’ll go if you still need someone to show up.

What’s up with these friends and boyfriend? Boyfriend’s family should be cheering for you. I’m sorry, OP. You worked very hard. Congratulations! 🥂🎊
1980sGamerFan@reddit
Can you reach out to other caste members to see if they'd be interested in celebrating your success with you?
Jewelzz_@reddit
When is the ceremony? If I’m in town I’ll go, support and cheer for you.
Sawigirl@reddit
I would totally come and celebrate your success 🙌. Sounds like you will get a party to attend!
SeaCow_216@reddit
Even if someone has long since claimed the offered tickets, can we get the details on the graduation and graduate? That sounds creepy I’m in retrospect. But, please note I do not ask that for weird reasons, which of course is exactly….
Whatever I’d selfishly like to go cheer them on because it would make me feel good about myself for doin
ThrowRa123456889@reddit
Down to come as well, ping the date and time!
TheDarkFlash810@reddit
Sounds dope, I'm in
batfacecatface@reddit
My bf and I will go cheer you on!!!
CuriousGoatBaah@reddit
I'll be definitely down for that. Is it SMU? I graduated from my MS a couple of years ago so I know how important that day is and having people cheering for you! Congratulations on your graduation.
herecomesurmom@reddit
you need new friends
Mc_bogo@reddit
tthats why having several friends is good
GrillMarks0@reddit
Sounds like you need a new boyfriend. Where are you graduating from?
Mc_bogo@reddit
yeah, just have to get another bf
BupiBear@reddit
If your bf can't celebrate the thing you've been working on and can't support you, then that's not the right situation for you to be in. Does he secretly hate you?
FirstAmendAnon@reddit
Where and when is your graduation? Dm me
TheOnlyDubbace@reddit

Beneficial-Bus-8741@reddit
Just gimme an address and I’m there to cheer you on and then some. This is a moment to be celebrated. And we’ll all be there for it.

Your bf is a lame guy. Honestly I’d be down to go and support you and afterwards we can go do whatever you want

I can’t attend but I can get you a card and write something very nice.

brentonbond@reddit
What kind of friends are looking down on you for graduating?? Screw them and leave the bf! Congrats on your accomplishment!
grandpatrey@reddit
Post the deets and I can make the rotation, what an absolute bum your boyfriend is. I am a decently loud white boy and you deserve to be cheered for on such a special day. Either way congratulations!
JaciOrca@reddit
Sent you a DM
Flowkey_mma@reddit
Looks like you have many willing people here that will support you.
Congrats on the hard work! Success and many blessings for you.
You will be okay. Please accept this kindness from someone and pay it forward to someone else one day as well.
Aaliyah-coli@reddit
First of all, congratulations. Getting your master’s is a huge accomplishment, and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
Also, the people around you sound cruel. The shame is not yours.
I really hope someone kind from here shows up for you, because you deserve to be celebrated.
johnnyclash42@reddit
OP sounds like you have a cheering sections starting here on Reddit. May have to get more than 2 tickets! Also - Huge props and congrats on finishing such a long and arduous project/process.
texbigb@reddit
Don’t be embarrassed. You took a risk coming here. If anything, this should highlight your fortitude.
But forreal, share the details so we can support.
bailatibiritabara@reddit
Hey no bs, let me know and I’ll take my kids to go cheer for you and any grads you know who don’t have any fam here. My kids about to go to college and i think it’d be good for all of us to see how hard some people have to work to reach their goals
fioricetNOW@reddit
When and where? If I'm available I'll even make a sign!
Redusername12345@reddit
Congratulations on a wonderful achievement! You have worked hard, and should be very proud of yourself. For what it’s worth, coming from a stranger, you deserve better than that. Find the ones that celebrate your successes, and stand by you in your struggles. Cheering you on, and wishing you a life of happiness, and fulfillment.
Practical_Reason4255@reddit
I’ll come!
c_y_g_nus@reddit

Pass the invite and date. I will make ur bf jealous
Alarming-Interview90@reddit
I will go with you and be your loudest cheerleader
DependentAd235@reddit
Rough.
I have moved around a lot. Getting a set of good friends takes a while.
Sometimes you have to deal with some… no so great ones. Not like bad… but flawed.
Unfortunately, people tend to max out on friend as they hit 30 or so. It takes some time. (For me anyway)
NoriNatsu@reddit
Girl to heck with them! Congratulations! Thats super awesome! Proud of you!
