Looking Good For College Graduation

In our years here on Earth we have moments we want to create, moments we want to forget, but ultimately we have moments we want to remember. Graduation, in its self, is one of those milestones in life we cherish and celebrate. It may come at least 3 to 4 times in a lifetime but a college graduation will only come once.

Graduation, as we know, is a mark of the fulfillment to our degree. It is also referred to as commencement rites or commencement alone to signify that a graduation is not the closing of a chapter but a beginning of a new one. And, we want to look back in time to have that as a fond recollection. A way to kick start the crafting of a good memory is by looking good.

GradShop tips on how to look good for College Graduation

You don’t experience graduation all by yourself. It may sometimes feel frightening but you’ll have your proud folks and relatives with you as well as your excited friends and classmates to share the joys of graduating. People will be taking pictures of every bit there is to capture so of course you want to look your best!

Prepare your outfit

This goes for everybody whether you’re male or female, the graduate or not, prepare the clothes you’ll be wearing for the graduation. Find something nice but appropriate and remember to consider the weather to stay comfy. Sweating and baking under your toga because you didn’t pick the right material for the weather could bring you to an awful situation.

Pick the right shoes

Get yourself an excellent pair of shoes and try them out before your college graduation day. Brand new shoes are guaranteed, most of the times, to cause discomfort. The uneasiness you feel will be written all over your face. Try to prevent that.

Splurging is a no no

Looking good doesn’t mean spending all your money on getting your hair did or your nails done (for the ladies), and on an expensive outfit. You can always buy something fancy at a low cost. You just have to know where to find them. As for make-up and hair for the girls, keep it simple. Ask a family member or friend to do it. There’s no need to spend $100 for something you can get for free.

Stay away from stress

Other than wearying you out, stress will make you look old and turn you into an irritable ugly ogre. You definitely wouldn’t want that for your big day. Pamper yourself, get enough sleep at least the night before, and relax.

Smile

Special occasions like these require you to enjoy the success you’ve achieved. Be in the moment, it’s yours to seize. Stay alert for camera snap shots. Don’t forget to show the world how much you’re proud of your accomplishment and smile!
