I bailed out of high school after three years and went to college. I tried to avoid getting my high school diploma (skipped my graduation), but they mailed it to me. I tried to avoid getting my college diploma (skipped my graduation) but they mailed it to me. I've got to come up with better tactics to avoid credentials...

It turns out if you actually attend graduation, you don't really get your diploma then, either. It's too soon for them to know whether you passed your finals or not. So they end up mailing the diploma even if you went. You do, however, manage to get out of spending an afternoon wearing robes and a squareish hat.

  I got a diploma at my graduation. It was two full weeks after finals.

    I wonder how common that is. At my school, most people finish their last final on Friday, go to graduation on Saturday, and leave town on Sunday. It is a college town, though.
