Who else has DC approaching Uni finials? Graduations to hopefully celebrate?

I was on the first empty nest threads with my DD, and now my DS is approaching his final weeks!

Anyone else with finals looming? How are your DC coping? Do you have their timetables like when it was A levels too?

I must say, I am so proud of DS for his work ethic and the hours he spends in the library each term. I truly hope he gets the grades he deserves. He needs a 2.1 for his job offer.

That's the next thing, trying to find accommodation for a new job is worse than Uni halls, having to maybe share with total strangers in a professional share etc as no way can they afford London prices on new entrant salaries (unless you are my friends DD who got stupidly high wage offers from Google and Amazon! DS is very fortunate to have a job offer, but the wages are not in the skyhigh bracket :) )

After he graduates I will have a totally empty nest as both didn't return after Uni.

Will you be buying a new outfit for the Graduation day?

Congrats youngmilliways!
eatyourveg we went to the graduation but I still didn't get an official photo as he didn't want to queueHmm However he ordered me a splendid matriculation photo in full sub fusc to make up for it. Eventually one proud and happy mumSmile. Has just finished his post grad studies and started his career on Monday. Yay!

Congrats to all those graduating and best of luck for the future

Aw EatYourVeg, that's tough being so close. My DD had the same Mark when she graduated and also was very gutted so I understand.

Mumeeee, well done to your DD for passing the rest of her exams, hope it all goes well for her in September.

Thanks Fussychica :)
