Graduation is a time to celebrate your educational achievements, and the ceremony itself is a time to stunt! Over the years, students have gotten far more creative with their cap and gown fits, with mortarboard bedazzling (bonus points for woke messages) becoming the trendiest style.
One of the biggest struggles is making sure that cap fits and stays on until you're ready to fling it into the air in jubilation and triumph. If your hair is kinky or curly or even a bit in between, the struggle is extra real.
Well, YouTuber Chizi Duru just posted the best graduation lifehack in the history of mortarboards.
