Unusual Graduation Traditions in 12 Countries [INFOGRAPHIC]

High school and college graduation traditions in different countries range from quaint to oddball. (https://pixabay.com/en/university-student-graduation-photo-1872810/)
I've been noticing a lot of graduation gifts for sale at my local grocery store, which can only mean it's that time of year in the United States. (Oh, how blissful it is to be free from academia!)

The following handy infographic takes a look at different high school and college graduation traditions in several different countries, including Japan, the Philippines, China, Thailand, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Argentina, Russia, Germany, and the U.S.

My favorite traditions hail from Argentina and Italy, where grads get things pelted at them, like ketchup or syrup or, according to the infographic, "basically anything that can be thrown at them." Ha ha ha! You gotta love those Argentines and Italians!

But I'm also fond of Norway, where students embark on a month-long adventure of hard partying during their final days in school.

The United States seems pale by comparison, with graduation ceremonies that involve students fiddling with their tassels and throwing their caps in the air. Boooooring!
