I've just qualified as a nurse.
I've no family or friends. I spent my entire life in care. I don't have anyone to go to my graduation as obviously I have no family. I'm not sure whether to go if there's no one to celebrate with. I'm a single mum to a 3 year old so I thought I might just go for a meal with him instead.
The thing is, I've no spare money so can barely afford the £60 it will cost in total. If there's no one to celebrate the day with it almost doesn't feel worth it.
But I have no one to celebrate my birthday with, have Christmas with just my son every year and I just think it would be sad to have this day as the same as any other too.
I made a few friends on the course but they graduated last year so I wouldn't have any familiar faces at the event.
Would I be unreasonable to go? Would it be a completely awkward experience?
