15 of the Funniest Reasons People Didn’t Walk at Graduation

Thankfully, high school graduation doesn’t matter much, and there will be plenty of other life events that are far more important. Some people recognized that earlier than others and skipped out on the whole ordeal. One guy decided commencement wasn’t more important than going to Fazoli’s, while another technically wasn’t allowed to walk because of the materials he downloaded on a school laptop. 

Whatever the case, Redditors have rattled off the various reasons they didn’t don a cap and gown, and one guy showed a particularly green entrepreneurial spirit.

SpawnMoreMinerals 9y ago Edited 9y ago Slight story time We had a program in school called Raider links. Basically it allowed you to use a laptop in class, because they were trying to move into the technology era. Everything would be done on the laptop.
