Do you know someone who’s graduating? Are you graduating? That’s where this emoji comes in. Graduation is such a monumental time in anyone’s life, but I think it can difficult to really understand what the experience is like until you’re actually there. Even after graduation has come and gone, it’s sometimes easy to take for granted how important it was at the time. That said, I do have to wonder about those funny pointed hats with the dangling stringy things (I’m not sure exactly what you call them). It’s such an odd design for a hat when you think about it. Even when you don’t think about it, it’s still an odd design. Who came up with it? You never see hats like that get used anywhere else. Then again, perhaps that’s the point. The unique and funny-looking pointed hats are what help graduation stand out as a unique event in a person’s life.
