Every spring at DU, Pios are reminded of the negative side of the quarter system: being in class through the first week of June while the rest of the country has already graduated or begun their summer break. If you are a senior, this about the time when the senioritis becomes TOO MUCH TO HANDLE. So, let’s take a break from the reminders that we are barely through midterms and talk about graduation- graduation caps, that is.
Decorating our caps has become a nation-wide tradition. We gathered some tips and inspiration to help you just in time to pick up your cap and bust out your beloved craft box.
- Find inspiration from your favorite movies and TV shows. Gilmore Girls quotes? Grey’s? Hunger Games? Harry Potter?
- Use iconic moments from your four year journey- this is what I’ll probably do… head straight to Beyonce’s Lemonade lyrics and lemon shaped patchwork.
- Get sassy- throw shade at your student bill one last time with a declaration that “this is my $260,000 hat” or go with a simple, “LOL, Bye.”
- Be clever with your major- any Economics puns out there? …probably not.
- Thank your sponsors- mom, dad, Starbucks, The Pinot Project, and all that good stuff.
We want to see what you do with your cap! Tag @hercampusdu as you post pictures of your grad cap masterpiece and be entered into a graduation goodie bag raffle.
