Soton’s best dressed graduates of 2019
Wow, ur all fit AND smart
So, you’ve finally got a degree and you’re proud of yourself and your mum probably cried, cool. But we all know that nowadays, success doesn’t REALLY count unless it’s all over your Insta.
Passed your driving test? Whack your certificate on your story. Did well on an essay? Better do a boomerang of “celebratory drinks with the girlies”!! Got a degree? You have to post a ‘gram in your sweaty graduation gown. I’m sorry but it’s basically the law.
Last week, people were returning to Soton for one last time, to throw a hat in the air, have a fancy meal, and (most importantly) to pose on the Redbrick. So without further ado, here’s Soton's best dressed graduates of 2019:
