According to our latest poll, 90% of you are interested in us going on to YouTube so our required entry point has this idea in mind.

I will pick the best celebration suggestion, film it and add it to our first YouTube video!

    I think you should put on a clown suit and film yourself bungy jumping while carrying ballons and throwing out confetti! I mean, that’s a huge accomplishment and should be celebrated HUGE! ;-)

    I’d definitely say film the graduation. It would give you something to look back on years down the road. Afterward celebrate and do something crazy…something you never thought you would do :)

    I think to celebrate your impending Graduation you should go Bungee Jumping It is sure to get your heart beating and would be a great first video for your new youtube format on your site!

    I think what would be super fun to do is take a trip around the world, or at least to a few places. You could record the different cultures and get a few people from the different places to dance or say a few words.
    Happy graduation!

    Well, whether or not you are talking about a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, I think you should save to take a nice vacation :) Some place that would give you cultural experience and a thrill! For some reason what sticks out to mind is that you should go to New Zealand and go hiking, or sky diving :) Since that may not be within budget, you can always run outside in your Birthday suit wailing your arms in the air from excitement, then go get a cookie :D

    When I graduated many moons ago we ran thru downtown in our slips(aka underwear)and nursing caps. Ahh….the good old days. Would probably be arrested for that today. But it was great fun. So how about bodypaint for you and a run around the city?or school?

    I suggest you treat yourself a trip to a place you really want to go to. In the first place, you sweat hard for many years to finally get this degree of yours. Go, book a plane ticket to a place/country of your choice and treat yourself a visit to the place’s finest food and culture.

  23. 23
    Karry Knisley

    I think you should go zip lining in your cap and gown…and then do an obstacle course with fellow grads..whoever loses most article of clothing at the end wins…or loses

    I follow on Twitter and tweeted http://twitter.com/Karryknisley/status/9541698920

  24. 24

    On the same note as “stripping” for a purpose – might as well get some free advertisement that doesn’t require skydiving. Get a line of willing graduates and have shirts or body paint underneath the gown spelled out the site – and pull off the gowns onstage. Give them free entries as incentive for participating or something xP

    Or re-enact a graduation screen from a movie.

    My sister, Robyn Charbonneau, referred me to your site.

    You could get a tattoo to commemorate your graduation. Of course, I don’t know how fun it will be during the actual process (it might make an interesting youtube video, though!), but it would be a nice reminder that you made it through for the rest of your life! :)

    Go old fashioned! Have a party. Not just any party. Have a Toga party! I mean a National Lampoon’s Animal House kind of Toga party. One that will go down in the history of the University of Waterloo with its drunkin debotchery! Eat, Drink, be merry, and YouTube it for us!!!

    I think for your fun grad activity, you should come over to my place and go cat wrangling. We start by taking three of my cats for a walk up the street, we get joined by several along the way from the neighbourhood, by the time we reach the top of the street we look like the pied piper of cats. Then you let them be for a few minutes and well the fun begins. I will let you try to wrangle them up and get them back to the house. If one leaves, you have to start again. Lots of fun!!

    You should become a child again. Graduation is all those years of education and hard work starting from the days of Kindergarten or earlier; why not go back to your roots and do all the things you did when you were 5 years old; like flying a kite; playing on the swings and chasing after butterflys

    I think you should something you’ve never done before like jump with parachute
    Or initiate some flesh-mob with your fellows
    Draw a picture that will remind you about your graduation day.
    Or plant a tree that would be associated with you career grow. You can take picture with that tree on the same day every year. Your tree will grow with you career.
    Change your look. Go to stylist, change your haircut and clothes style. Say buy to student life and say hi to new professional life.
    And congratulations! Maybe I’ll come up with more ideas later

    Skydiving seems to be a popular suggestion and was my first thought too, but I am going to recommend a hot air balloon ride. My husband and I took one on our honeymoon! While it may not be the same thrill as skydiving, it is still a very exhilarating experience and one that you can really take in and reflect upon!

    I highly suggest going to Las Vegas for a few days. There are many things you can do for free, including seeing the sights.

  63. 63

    Start a shaving cream water balloon fight with your graduating class during the ceremony.

    or

    Since you are being pressured to go skydiving, it is possible that you may give into peer pressure… I don’t know how strong your will is, so I just have to assume that it is a possibility. So if you go, I would recommend that you bring some of those shaving cream filled water balloons and have someone record the impact when they hit the ground from 10000 feet…. slow motion impact… think of how cool that would look! Wow… now I want to go sky diving. Nope…no wait, my chute won’t open… right.

    You could do something extravigately crazy like running to vegas as someone suggested.. or something fun like going to an amusement park and riding all the rides.. just dont er.. drink if you plan on riding the rides.. my friend did that and barf on the person infront of us on the “Vortex” ride at canada’s wonderland years ago -.-

    You could do something you’re scared to do [bungee jump, eat lobster, drink booze, whatever]. Have a simple party with your friends maybe with a book burning lmao.

    I’m really not sure =( just don’t drink yourself into a coma =)

    Your school’s Computer Science statue was stolen a couple of years ago. You should have a some drinks and go replace it with a statue of your own. Something funny like a garden gnome or something. Since it sounds like you will be done with school now you will have to get in your last prank and night of drinking! What is your thesis about?

    Being that you’re a Habs fan (gag!)…I would suggest flying to California during the first week of March, renting a car, and following them on their road trip that travels through San Jose (Thurs, Mar 4), Los Angeles (Sat, Mar 6), and Anaheim (Sun, Mar 7).

    You may not see them win a game, but at least you’ll have warm weather, hockey, and maybe even some March Break festivities…sounds like fun to me!

    Instead of skydiving, why not go dogfighting- if you can even find that in Canada. It would be a lot more fun shooting down a plane than jumping out of one!

  81. 81

    HELLLLLLLLLLLLO this is givingitaway, right? I say you take the money you’d spend on a vacation, get it all in ones, go to the top of a tall building. throw the ones out the window while you have people on the ground video-taping the carnage.

    Gotta do it right though… first just throw out 1 or 2, wait…. then do a couple more. Gradually build up to tossing a bunch out the window.

    Don’t do this on a busy street though, we’re not trying to cause accidents. It would be nice if you did this in a “less-fortunate” neighborhood, but that’s not a requirement.

    Oh wait – you’re in Canada, those loonies might hurt someone. Guess you’ll have to do $5 which means only 20% of the carnage.

    I’ll go with the iPod.

  82. 82

    I think you should do a chartered fishing trip on one of the great lakes, followed by a big fish fry with your friends to celebrate. Lake perch are really good and tie in pretty well, don’t you think? If it’s a getaway.. how about a trip to Six Flag to ride the roller coasters?

    I’ve got it!! Get all of your friends and school friends and throw an awesome party….at Chuck E Cheese!! They serve beer and you can sneak more beverages in flasks. There is something fun and hilarious about adults playing kids games and secretly drinking out of plastic Chuck E Cheese cups. Then make your friends give you their tickets so you can get yourself an ‘awesome’ graduation prize from the glass display, haha.

    For your graduation celebration… I think that you should defnitely get your friends together and celebrate in style. Go to an all-inclusive vacation on a tropical island and party it up for seven days – why celebrate for one night when u can do it for a week. Go skydiving, ziplining, and scuba diving — then party it up all night!!!

    My suggestion would be to take a evening night dinner and dancing cruise in the nearest city closest to you. You could invite a few of your closest friends and have a wonderful event!

    My attempt at making you laugh: We got pounded with snow, and my husband and I were digging the driveway and cars out for hours. He asked me to get him the car keys so he could move the cars a little so we could shovel completely. I threw the keys to him, and we lost them in the snow. We still haven’t found them a day later. He’s ready to throttle me. lol

    I think you should host a “through the years” party where you spend portions of the night reliving school years starting with your first year in college – show pictures, dress in some of the clothes you all wore, drink some of the drinks you used to frequently drink, eat or cook or have food brought in from some of your favorite places and have it all culminate at the end of the night to an all out bash in celebration of graduating!

    Cheers, friend!

  130. 130

    First of all CONGRATULATIONS!! Graduating is a huge accomplishment in your life and your families life! What ever you do I think it would be awesome to share it with your family as it is family that helps you make it through all those tough times esp. when you thought you wanted to call it quits! Go out and celebrate with your family and “make a memory” (as my mom always says;) and definitely photograph and/or video tape it for the keepsakes!

    For my husbands last graduation (one more soon for his bachelors) we got a bunch of friends together and cooked a huge meal for 30 people from the local shelter. They blended right in with our friends and family and we had a blast. There was so much food, whatever was left over we sent with them. Several of them made some great connections and got good job leads. It was the best fun ever!

    Go to Niagara Falls and have fun for the day… Then get a clip of Niagara Falls in action with you and your friends. Re-enact Superman II’s kid-falling-into-the-falls scene, but film the falling part in a safe location with a low angle shot. Finally, the person who is going to be falling should be saying “I’m Giving It AWAAAAAAAYYYY!!!” while falling backwards… Use this as your Youtube video… Don’t forget to thank me in your video credits :)
    Here’s the Superman clip for reference:

    I think you should go dog mushing in Alaska and wind down by watching the Northern Lights at night. What an amazing view to behold.

    IF the cold is NOT your thing (after all, you’re in Canada, you may need a little warmth for a change) … I would go to India and take part in Holi (Festival of Colors). That would be a fun, colorful, & extremely festive way to celebrate!

    I would do a number of things if I had the opportunity. I might:

    -Go around and present people with prepared deep thoughts, with certain words removed and ask them to fill in the blanks.
    -I would get about 10-20 people together, and start off with one sentence of a story. Then move around from person to person (or randomly) have them continue the story from where the last person started).
    -Or, I would just do something basic like ask a bunch of the graduates and the professors questions like “What is something about yourself that most people don’t know, but that you wish they did?”

    Do something that you’ve always wanted to do, but were otherwise to occupied to do it (school). Just try and think back to when you just started university or just before. What was the one thing that you wish you did? Bring your video camera with you and do it. Only you know what that is and others shouldn’t tell you how to have fun or experience something for yourself.

    I think, since you are graduating, once you are done you should get a boombox and just blast your favorite jams while walking around your campus. I always have wanted to do this at my school, but I do not have a boombox. I mean dancy stuff, if you’re into that, and just see what other people do. You might even get a little dance party going. I am following you on Twitter and Facebook, but I think this is the first time I’ve posted, I cant remember. Thanks for the giveaway!

    I guess I’m a bit boring. I think every celebration should involve family and close friends and I don’t like big shin digs myself. I would guess you went to school for yourself, your family and to make it a better world.

    Maybe you could do something that involves all three. 1st, a short sweet heartfelt but fun speech about how much these things mean to you…speak to the future – your families as well as generations to come, but most of all to the present moment, together. Then if its a warm spring night, watch a series of great movies about a better future – both animated for your kids and then one or two for you guys – get one of those projectors that will allow you and your guests (who aren’t eating off of styrofoam and the like!) can watch from your back yard. Or celebrate by making that investment for the future that maybe you and your family were planning – an off grid or sustainable fuel green home, maybe earthberm, adobe, cobb or dome home…or break ground for it! Have a work party and invite all of your friends. I’d come!

    Pre-Congratulations on Graduating.

    The first thing that comes to mind is have a huge party! I love to cook and that’s usually what I end up doing to celebrate. Cook something that you have never had before and looks fun. I can neither confirm nor deny the virginity of this olive oil!

    And in no specific order, runner ups.
    Pub crawling, skydiving, learn how to drive a tractor, paintball war, sample 10 different cakes, horseback riding with a picnic, test drive a Ferrari or other exotic car, and last but not least….go fly kites!

    This turned into a novel didn’t it.

    I like to read for fun, but for your graduation how about a posting a short documentary of your years at Waterloo, highs and lows?

  241. 241

    Well, when I graduated, I went bungee jumping to celebrate. It was pretty cool, since I had a LOT of friends with me who were doing it too. Well, actually, it was cool until I stood at the edge of the platform looking 220 feet down. I HAD to jump, especially since the whole thing was MY idea. The entire way down, I prayed, “Please, God, please don’t let me kill myself in this stupid way. If you let me live, I promise I’ll never do anything this STUPID again!”

    Well, my suggestion for your graduation would be somethiing big like winnubg The Super Bowl (Which by the way my New Orleans Saints won…. anyways) I think you shoulf yell out “I’m going to Disneyworld!!!!) Now its just not for kids anymore. The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, The Animal Kingdom, and Disney Studios are great. I just left Orlando a few months ago for Christmas, and I’m already ready to go back. Not only Disneyworld, but you can also visit Universal Studio! There is a lot to see and do there as well. While there you can also travel down to Miami and enjoy South Beach. There is a lot to see and do… so check it out!!!!

    Following you on twitter!!!

    I think to start a celebration you have to look back, and see all the blessing you have receive, and then you will realize how much, joy and enphasis you need to put and your celebration, look back to enjoy your Present, because is just that a “present” AV

    If I were going to celebrate such a huge thing like graduation, I would go on a vacation to the beach and if I could afford it, I would definitely go back to Cancun, Mexico. There are some really great affordable package deals that you can find either through a travel agent or online. Then, once either at any beach or in Mexico, you can either kick back and relax or party your butt off.

    I am already following you on Twitter and I tweeted.

    Sounds like most are recommending a trip, but from that point the suggestions vary considerably. Guess it depends on what you like to do and/or where you would like to go. My advice – make it something or somewhere you will be able to relax (somewhat), enjoy and remember!

    This may sound harsh, but you should probably wipe your butt with your diploma, tear it up and burn it, then apply for unemployment, food stamps, and medicaid. Or maybe apply for more loans, grants and scholorships and pick some more classes. There isn’t a single worthwhile job out there these days. Or, you could go bowling. Bowling is fun.

    I think you should celebrate your education at the University of Waterloo. Maybe make a montage of all the cool people, good times and things that you have done there. End it with a picnic or other party on the campus. It’d be fun to see your professors and fellow graduates just having fun. Maybe the professors could have some “words of wisdom” to impart.

    Congrats!

    Celebrate by Doing absolutely nothing for as long as you can. You have your whole life to work and try and make a name for yourself. Give your mind a rest and think about what you want your life to be. When your older you’ll wish you could go back and have do nothing and get away with it:)

    I always thought it’d be fun to walk around the mall wearing strange things, like graduation cap and gown, a tail of some sort, a wizarding outfit and footed pajamas…but not all at the same time. Spread them out and be sure to buy corresponding things. Briefcase, animal brush, a crystal ball and a blankie, perhaps? That would be fun to see!

    OK, I’ve thought a lot about this and i think it would be fun to road trip across the US and stop at every rest area and film and rate them-how nasty was it? Or how clean? Did you fall in the toilet? Did you vomit because the smell was THAT bad? Which state ranks number one and which had the worst rest stops?
