Graduation Message for a Best Friend
You were there for the bad version of this, so you are allowed to reference it. One sincere line, then back to normal.
Affectionate and rude
- 1
Congratulations. Against considerable evidence, you have a degree.
- 2
You did it, and I want it on record that I predicted this in first year while you were crying in a stairwell.
- 3
Delighted for you. Genuinely. Now stop talking about your dissertation.
- 4
Well done. I carried you and you carried me and we are calling it even.
The sincere one
Put exactly one of these in and the rest can be jokes.
- 5
You are the best thing about these three years and the degree is a distant second.
- 6
I would not have finished without you and I am not going to pretend otherwise.
- 7
Proud of you. Properly.
If you are graduating too
- 8
We did it. Whatever happens next, we did this bit together.
- 9
Same hat, same day, same photograph our mothers will frame. Congratulations.
Questions people actually ask
What do you write in a graduation card for a friend?
One sincere sentence and the rest can be whatever your friendship normally sounds like. Without the sincere line it reads as a joke card; with it, the jokes work.
