Question: Is it worth it to actually "walk" during your college graduation? High school, I just did it because all my friends were. (Yeah peer pressure, you wanna fight about it?) But I don't know too many people in my class in college. Since I'm graduating sorta early, all my peers are graduating next year, so I'm kind of ambivalent on the whole thing.

Answer: I was hesitant about walking also, mainly because I really didn't know any of my peers in my graduating class either.  However, I did because there was that whole parental guilt trip thing "We've waited so long to see you graduate!"  I also did find out that some colleges, mainly the larger universities, don't even have ceremonies where their graduates walk.  All their graduates do is just stand up when their specific school/major is announced.  That's pretty lame because you get no recognition whatsoever.  So if your ceremony actually will call your name, I don't think it would be so bad to attend.
