Would you go to graduation tomorrow

[orangesforChristmas]

I graduated from my degree during the summer. At the time, the graduation ceremony was delayed because of covid and it's now happening tomorrow. I already have my degree certificate and was able to hire a gown during the summer so took pictures with my friends etc then.

I'm torn about whether to go to the event tomorrow or not. I don't want to miss out, but I live with someone who is CEV and would hate to bring anything home to them, particularly as they only got their booster a couple of days ago. Everyone at the event has to wear masks but there will be no social distancing in a packed hall. Also, in a way I'm not really fussed about going because I'm feeling quite low at the minute (I'm getting support with my mental health) and I'm working on Friday and Saturday so need to conserve my energy for that. I'm also now doing a masters so should have another graduation next year for that. But I don't want to regret not going this year since all my friends are going. It's making me feel anxious because I can't decide. What would you do?

I absolutely would not be going.

If I didn't live with a CEV person then yes, I would absolutely be going, 100%, you've worked hard for that degree and it's something to celebrate. But in the circumstances, no, I don't think I would.

I would NOT be going - I have covid at the moment and it sucks, you got to protect the CEV person

No, don’t go. My daughters graduation was cancelled (should have been yesterday). We would probably have gone, but we are all fully boosted and none of us are CV.

I would go. Today's briefing talked about considering what was important to you and only going to those. So I wouldn't go to a Christmas party but would go to a graduation

Oh congratulations!! Yes I would go, you deserve to celebrate one of the biggest achievements in your life. Just be smart, take all necessary precautions and test like hell afterwards!

Well done!

I would hope the CEV person the op lives with is on the top of her "important things" list. It's a shame that some things need to be missed, but a person's welfare must come first.

The graduation ceremony for my Masters was last week. I opted to graduate in absentia. I’m knowingly, and unknowingly, exposed to Covid every day in my workplace and couldn’t justify exposing myself even more at an event. I was and am disappointed that I couldn’t attend.

I would not because of the person who is CEV.

Congratulations on your degree.

Well Done Congratulations.
Personally, I would go.
