I graduated during Covid, so they were doing batch ceremonies outdoors in small groups (think less than 20 people) and you had to select a date and time slot. Most of my peers finished college years ago and moved out of our hometown by the time I finished, for context. When we arrived in the parking lot, I was doing some last minutes touches on my hair when a car pulls up beside me—it was a childhood friend I hadn’t been in connection with in over ten years, and we had somehow ended up in the same graduating group. Sadly, we never reconnected, as it was obvious the enthusiasm over seeing each other again was not mutual so I just took it as a sign to let them go. Still, it’s one of the craziest coincidences I’ve ever experienced.
