Stand out at commencement with the funniest cap.
The entire experience of graduation is completely surreal, to say the least. Yes, it may be boring AF to sit in that flimsy fold-up chair beneath the beating-hot sun for an hour (at least) while you wait for your name to be called, but it's still pretty entertaining to be part of the whole celebration. You get to low-key chuckle every time someone's last name is mispronounced, and you can catch a glimpse of all of the carefully crafted, witty, inspirational, artsy, and hilarious graduation caps that your fellow grads have put their heart and soul into. After all, you need some funny graduation 2022 cap sayings inspired by your fandom of everything from Harry Potter to The Office to really make a statement as you collect your diploma.
In all seriousness, though, graduation is such a huge milestone, and when you finally find yourself walking onto that stage to receive your degree, it can be completely overwhelming. You should be proud of yourself for this huge life achievement. After enduring all of those late-night papers, the hours of procrastination, the countless shots of espresso, and the incredibly frustrating group projects, you deserve the spotlight on graduation day. TBH, you might feel like you deserve about seven degrees for all of your hard work these past four years, but you'll settle on one because you don't want to make a scene, you know?
All in all, graduating from college is one of the best experiences you'll have in life, and customizing your graduation cap is, IMHO, the most genuinely enjoyable part of the entire thing, because (pretty much) anything is fair game, and you can express your creativity to the absolute fullest. These 10 hilarious graduation caps from TikTok and Twitter users prove you should never take anything too seriously in life, even when it comes to an event as significant and momentous as graduation.
