For all my moaning and complaining about how much I hated school and how graduating is meaningless to me and how I'm so embaressed to have finished college late - Ordering my announcements makes me actually excited to graduate.
Sure, maybe its partially because I love paper and I love the thought of little letter type things that have MY name on it. And yes, it's partially because I decided I would buy a wax seal to seal all the envelopes.
But I think a majority of it is that my parents are proud of me and they're excited about sending these stupid little braggery cards to everyone they know. My mom asked me to order 75 - 100! I'm not the usual type for a scene or showing off my accomplishments (even the times I know I deserve it) so we compromised at 50. It made me feel special. It made me feel like maybe the world doesn't care that I've gotten my degree and maybe the working world barely cares cause it's just a bachelors and maybe I barely care cause the certification doesn't help my life. But my parents care. and my family cares. And, surprisingly enough, that really means something to me.
