Graduate tires of waiting for official ceremony


On 20th March 2022, Thai TikToker, @jackachihouse, posted a video of his DIY graduation ceremony.

The text on the video translates to:

Studying at Rachapat University

Strengths: Collecting tuition in a timely manner

Weaknesses: Hosting graduation ceremonies in a timely manner 

According to The Graduate, he graduated three-four years ago from a university in Thailand. He also mentions that he had already started working.

After waiting for so long for an official ceremony, the TikToker decided to host his own ceremony – complete with the traditional graduation robe.

Here’s to you, kid


We’d like to extend our congratulations to the TikToker. All the hours spent in class, in the library and of course, doing extra curricular activities, he definitely deserves some sort of fanfare for his efforts.

So, since we’re sprinkling this story with multiple movie references, we’ll end on one last one: Here’s to you, kid.
