How To Graduate With Style: Stand and sit up straight

Step 1: Stand and sit up straight

Stand and sit up straight. Your parents are no doubt taping the entire event, so refrain from doing the slouch and shuffle—unless you want your sulky, pre-evolutionary amble to be captured for posterity.

Don’t get wasted the night before. You’ll feel awful and your pictures will look like crap.

How To Graduate With Style: Wear something nice

Step 2: Wear something nice

Wear something under your robe that’s tasteful and not too hot—something that won’t embarrass you or others when your robe inevitably comes off.

How To Graduate With Style: Look your best

Step 3: Look your best

Look your best. Get a haircut, if you need one, and, girls, consider a mani-pedi. You want to look sophisticated and confident as you enter the world.

Slap on some sunscreen. A sunburned face is not stylish.

How To Graduate With Style: Don’t be disrespectful

Step 4: Don’t be disrespectful

If you’re planning on being hilarious by disrupting the valedictorian’s speech with “woos” and “booyahs”… don’t.

How To Graduate With Style: Smile

Step 5: Smile

When collecting your diploma, make eye contact with the person handing it to you. Give a good handshake—and remember to smile!

How To Graduate With Style: Thank those who got you there

Step 6: Thank those who got you there

Thank the people responsible for you making it to graduation day. You know who they are.

If there is a faculty member who went above and beyond for you, or whose class you particularly enjoyed, take the time to say so.

How To Graduate With Style: Send thank you cards

Step 7: Send thank you cards

Send handwritten thank-you notes to everyone who remembered your graduation. Email doesn’t cut it when it comes to expressing gratitude.

About 70% of U.S. high school students graduate on time.
