100% sure. Tassel is on the left side.

[–]impals 37ポイント38ポイント  (8子コメント)

Who ever knows what side it should be on before getting to graduation?

I just graduated on Sunday and they told us I don't know how many times to put it on the right side until we actually got our diplomas.

EDIT: Phone is dumb

[–]Mandible_Claw 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

So you're going to have it on the right side for three months, eh?

No, it was on Sunday afternoon. I did that from my phone, so I'm going to go ahead and blame autocorrect/me typing it too quickly to actually care.

    It's really interesting to observe cultural differences between the States and most European countries. Here public transport does not have the negative connotation it has there, so at worst I'd probably wonder if he's running late.

    [–]fbk732 112ポイント113ポイント  (5子コメント)

    I didn't immediately think negative connotation about the bus as much as I thought "oh wow his family must not have been present to see him graduate"

            [–]kuikuilla 11ポイント12ポイント  (4子コメント)

            Eh.... you don't get it from university, you get it when you become eligible to study in a university (after your matriculation exam in gymnasium). Engineering/tech students in Aalto get a special cap, but it's more of a special case.

            [–]flashin_leather 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

            Do they get upgraded as you go? I thought you got like a tassel for doing your masters degree, and then upgraded to a top hat when you complete a PhD

            [–]kuikuilla 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

            Tassel? The badge in front of the cap? By default the cap has the university of helsinki badge, but you can change it to your respective university's own badge if you want to. I'm not aware of changing it to some special master's degree badge, but I'm not a master yet :P

            And yea, you can buy the PhD top hat if you want to when you finish your doctoral degree.

            [–]flashin_leather 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

            Yeah, that's the special case hat I mentioned. It's for engineering/tech students and they get it when they start in the school, not after graduation.

                This is highly sensationalized.

                Public transit in the states varies highly by location, but I would argue there isn't a strong negative connotation where the transit is good, like New York and DC. I took a bus to my college graduation... And I went to a pretty good school.

                [–]mainfingertopwise 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

                Exactly. And other places, where public transportation is terrible, (for any number of reasons) the negative connotation is earned, because people really do only use it because they have absolutely no other choice.

                    Mainly because public transport sucks in most places.

                    How come? At some time cities in the USA had proper trams (electric streetcars).

                    Then General Motors swooped in and said: "remove those rails, with our superior gasoline powered buses we can reach every place in the city"

                    Cities complied, and the moment the tracks disappeared, the bus schedules were minimized. The investment in (new) tracks was to much.

                    But luckily good guy GM had a solution: "Everyone buy our superior gasoline powered cars, they will bring you everywhere!"

                    Detroit happened, and public transport became an absolute system for poor people that couldn't buy a car.

                    I don't know enough to say you're wrong, but being from Chicago, public transportation is really efficient and not second rate. Professionals use the trains and buses. My sister is a lawyer and takes the bus because it's the most convenient. They're also all electric trains and have always been from my understanding. Chicago may be an exception though, we got to rebuild after the Chicago Fire torched almost the entire city to ashes.

                    [–]savorntrees [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

                    Not even every city with a population the size of Chicago has good public transportation. Texas cities are a great example, they have huge populations, but they also are spread over a lot of land area. So most people drive, therefore public transportation is bad (most of the taxpayers drive cars, so why spend money on buses/trains).

                    I would say NYC and Chicago should have the best public transportation, since they have much higher population densities than the rest of the biggest cities in the US.

                    I've lived in the South most my life, but have traveled to NYC and Chicago several times (and used public trans). It's much different.

                    [–]GhostOfBarron [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

                    New York, Chicago and other major cities have public transportation because of how dense the city is and the demand is high for it. Cities like Waco, Texas, Ocala, Florida, and Colorado Springs, Colorado have little to no public transport making getting a car a necessity.

                    That's what I think a lot of people are forgetting. Where I live in the US, there is no bus that would have taken me to school/graduation. It doesn't exist. I could have walked I suppose, but according to Google maps, it would be a 4.5 hour walk. While possible, most people would probably have skipped graduation.

                      It's not so much public transportation it's the bus. Generally speaking they are fucking terrible. It takes forever to get anywhere on one and they're generally run down, smell like bum piss, and have drug addicts on them. Trains are generally pretty good though.

                      Well honestly its not just negative its that outside a few major cities that are compact the public transport sucks big time LA being one of the worst in my opinion if it was better i would use it fuck it sucks wasting hours of your day in traffic with millions of others

                      The reason being is that the majority of cities in the US have shitty public transportation so you don't use it unless you absolutely need to. It's not negative it's just widely known as a major inconvenience rather than a convenience like it's known in Europe.

                      [–]strutmcphearson 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

                      It probably has something to do with European public transit not being totally shit everywhere all the time. I'm not American, but i can tell you that no matter how bad your public transit is, ours here is probably worse.

                      In America, one of the reasons that public transportation has a negative connotation is because it's fucking terrible. I doubt that if metroes and buses were remotely reliable or convenient, that there would be that much of a stigma around them.

                      In large cities public transportation is normal. Here in Chicago TONS of people take the bus or train everywhere, its more practical and can be faster.

                        I graduated from high school, from college, and from grad school. My parent's never took me to graduation, but at least one parent was always there... Usually, the grads had to meet up somewhere in one building, and all the observers had to go somewhere else and stand in line just to get a seat, so it just made sense for us to go separately since we would end up having to be in two completely different places.

                        I don't get this at all why is that sad. I took the bus to my college graduation and meet my parents there at the ceremony. Who's to say his parents aren't meeting him there.

                        My parents never had a vehicle, nor driver's licences.

                        My school(s) were close so I always walked. Had it not been, I'd taken the bus. No biggie.

                          What's wrong with taking a bus?

                          Is he supposed to drive up in a limo or something...?

                          Normally graduations are celebrated with family. He's alone so you could make the assumption that his family isn't going. You could also make the assumption that he's meeting his family there. So I guess it depends on your perspective. Seems like most people in this thread are just focusing on "wow people think taking public transit is bad?".

                          Every graduation I've been in, I've had to arrive at least 2 hours prior to the event. The fact that people might not want to sit in the heat for 2 extra hours of nothing isn't that surprising. In fact, I got myself to all three of those graduations, but had a dozen or so family in attendance.

                          Well the title is "kid taking the bus" not "kid going alone to graduation".

                          If this were "white kid in car going to graduation", I don't think we'd be having this conversation.

                          Yep exactly.

                          I had family give me a ride to my graduation, even though I took the bus to school and work every single day.

                          I can't imagine having to take the bus alone to my graduation unless my family or anyone special to me wasn't going.

                          I did this. I lived about a mile from campus and hopped on the bus because I didn't want to walk in the heat to meet my family. The only thing you can definitively tell from this photo is that someone wanted cheap karma by taking a picture of a stranger.

                          Graduation (high school or college) tend to be pretty big events for a nuclear family. The fact that this kid is riding a bus probably means his family is not attending. He'll be in a gigantic crowd of crying mothers and ecstatic grads taking family photos. Kids will get on stage and all of their friends will cheer for them.

                          Being alone at graduation sucks.

                          Or maybe the graduation ceremony starts at 12:00, but graduating students are required to be there at 11:30 due to some preparations and his family arrives later?

                            That is making a TON of assumptions. A lot of high schools have the grads come in earlier than the families and friends. Almost everyone I know took the bus to their graduation too, they still had plenty of people to greet and congratulate them when they walked.

                            depends on the school. in mine the kids were expected to come much earlier and also stay a bit after as well. most didn't go home with their parents.

                              Yes, because he can't afford a personal automobile or to hire a taxi. That is reasonable depending on your definition of poor.

                              Are we supposed to pitty him, because he doesn't have his own pickup or something?

                              *pity

                              Also, why does he need a pickup?

                              The reason why anyone would pity him is because his family isn't taking him.

                              States sure are a fucked-up place.

                              Nope. You're pretty fucking stupid though, so there's that...

                                I went alone to my graduation. Only because we had to be there a bit early to get prepared. When it came time to walk, there was my family.

                                Single pictures don't show the whole story. I love seeing pictures like this where the subject chimes in with the full story, making everyone's assumptions false. Hopefully, this kid does the same. Maybe his parents were behind him, maybe they were on their way, maybe he didn't have family, maybe they had to work to support his college goals... For me, the picture shows his dedication to school and he should be proud. Taking the bus, alone, to his graduation. Awesome.

                                It's an entirely mundane picture of a black guy in a graduation cap and gown, riding a bus. That is all the context we have.

                                If you look at the picture and see an inner-city kid, from a low-income family who has to take the bus to graduation because the people in his life who should be sharing the occasion with him are too negligent/disintetested/busy to go, then you're actually looking at a picture of yourself.

                                Having the capacity for sympathy is a wonderful gift, but when we make up sad stories about a stranger based on inscrutable evidence, then it's just called being condescending.

                                  Half my class took the bus/connecting train to my graduation. (Sweden). Hell, one even took a boat! Public transport is sweet, gets you where you're going!

                                  This is UNT and they had shuttle rides to campus for parking.

                                  I went to my graduation alone because the students had to arrive early. The rest of my family showed up an hour later to get their seats.

                                  Tassel is to the left, he is probably coming back from graduation.

                                  I'm just sitting here wondering why nobody told him that you're not supposed to actually put the cap and gown on until you get to the school.
