I got my EC Diploma today!

Published

and I cried haha. I'm still in denial that it is done and over. Since FL is a state where I have to have an official transcript with grad date, I am just playing the waiting game before I get my ATT to take the NCLEX!

Mine came with a cover, and didn't look cheap to me ... has the gold foil "high honors" seal on it and a gold foil school seal, too.

I have 3 other degrees and my HS diploma.. EC's card stock was better quality than all my other degrees. It came in a case too- my others came in a nifty folder type thing. The only thing I had expected was a bigger diploma (I forgot my others were a standard size too).

Okay, where do you find honors? Because I should have graduated with honors, and I see no mention on the website or catalog of that. And I want them if they're giving them out.

i believe that there is always people out there that would find something negative if given anything.they would complain if someone gave them 1 million dollars! imo, after all the blood sweat and tears, if they put the degree on copy paper i would have still said it was beautiful. the ec degree is very nice. i got more emotional from the thought of it verses the degree on physical paper.

I had one girlfriend I nicknamed Eeyore, because it was always gloomy in her part of the forest. One day she started complaining about something NICE someone had done for her and I just said, "Damn, girl, if you won the lottery you'd b**** about the taxes." She actually laughed, and agreed.
