It was pinned to my hair and I wouldn't have wanted to lose it, anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193732 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:16:23 +0000 matador84 193732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I did in HS. When I graduated with a B.A., I didn't even walk, I just went and picked up my diploma and had a party with friends. When I got my Master's, I did walk, but no one really throws their cap--it was all masters and ph.d candidates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193545 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:25:48 +0000 DillonLion 193545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to both, but I just tossed it very softly and then caught it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193538 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:21:21 +0000 Alivoo01 193538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in HS and like other posters, it came with a "warning/disclosure". Too funny. I tossed mine straight up and not too high so that I could easily retrieve it for pictures after the ceremony. I don't think I did in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193377 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 07:52:55 +0000 littlebug 193377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we weren't allowed to. I wouldn't have, anyway, because I wouldn't have wanted to lose it. I still have all 3 of mine - high school, undergraduate, and graduate. They're in a box with a bunch of other memorabilia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193375 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 07:52:05 +0000 mrsjyw 193375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HS - yes, college - no </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193371 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 07:46:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 193371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, because I didn't want to lose it.

For high school I wore my brother's hand me down hat so I didn't have to buy my own. It was a little different from the others, so I didn't want to lose it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193333 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 06:59:21 +0000 chopsuey 193333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In high school I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193330 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 06:54:24 +0000 mediagirl 193330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yup!

I think I have my college one in a box of memorabilia in my condo, and I'm pretty sure my high school cap is at my parents' house in my closest. On second thought, I might have just saved the tassels. I'll have to go look... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193267 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 00:22:13 +0000 mrbee 193267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @skibobrown: Do you guys still have your caps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193265 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 00:21:08 +0000 skibobrown 193265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember our high school graduation caps came with a disclaimer from the company that you could injure yourself or others by tossing your cap in the air ;-) Anyways, I didn't toss mine at either graduation b/c I wanted to hold onto it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-toss-your-cap-into-the-air-during-graduation#post-193264 Mon, 18 Jun 2012 00:19:10 +0000 mediagirl 193264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.

So I didn't throw my graduation cap into the air during either graduation. I think I threw it away at some point later that day...</p> <p>Did you toss your cap into the air during graduation? Were you excited when you graduated from high school and/or college? </p>
