Class Rings

...Why do you consider sports a more important feat than you graduating the Highschool education system?

Is this a serious question?
We're talking American high school, right?

I never saw the point in ordering mine, they look handicapped and mean little. High school is the biggest crap fest in the universe, why would you want to spend 100$+ for a ring to remember it?

Apparently -- according to everyone I speak to, anyway -- taking the phone out of your pocket, pressing a button, looking at the time, and putting the phone back in your pocket, is as or more convenient than looking at a watch on your wrist.

having to pull out a phone to check the time is incredibly gay lol

dont you americans call everything "graduating"?
this ring seems super stupid and a waste of money. go buy something else

[ShadowsfeaR]

Tradition.

And obviously it's gonna be a waste for people who don't have that kind of "disposable income". But I like my ring, I need to wear it more often. :P

True, but I get what Muzzles means.

We tend to use "graduate" to mean finishing a degree course, either at College or University.
Prior to doing a degree at university, meaning while you're at school (or sixth form/college), you're an Undergraduate student, and therefore have never graduated.

You can finish school/college here, but you can't graduate. That simply only happens when you finish a degree at a university or college, since it's a more prestigious and advanced qualification/feat.

It's only normal to do things for high school and  college. The rest people might say they graduate but they don't mean it like with high school or college

I don't even have a phone, nor do I have a watch.

My laptop should suffice.
