115 captions for perfect graduation Instagrams
Class of 2024, could I have your attention, please? Through it all ("it" being a global pandemic, worldwide turmoil, a likely very overwhelming workload, and a somewhat uncertain future looming ahead), you're here. Your graduation day has finally arrived.
It's easy to get lost in all of the fuss that you'll come to experience during the end of your student tenure. But as the university term comes to a close, let's practice remaining in the present, and take a moment to actually celebrate. Cue up the Elle Woods montage of your school years because you did the damn thing! All of your hard work, deadline anxiety, and discussion board rambling are finally paying off. Soon enough you'll receive the official degree that only cost you about 17 all-nighters and a concerning amount of coffee (and, er, fees)!
This calls for a humble — scratch that — shameless brag. The people deserve a space to celebrate you, and one of those spaces should be an IG comment section. So let's get ready to plot your obligatory graduation IG post.
Once you put on the outfit you def had planned since mid-sophomore year, we’ve got the captions to accompany your grid pic. Your degree-owning brain has been through enough already. Please peruse, use, and drink all the bubbly as you post and scroll.
