Those of you who have graduated university should be able to attest to that once in a lifetime feeling of accomplishment

Not me. It's just graduation, for pete's sake. I had a very nice graduation (from a prestigious university, with family and friends), and forgot it all about 24 hours after.

I fact, I remember the graduate "graduation" far more vividly: I went to the registrar's office, where a secretary pulled the diploma from a metal filing cabinet. Congratulations, she said. Thanks, I replied.

Graduates need to get over themselves.

“Graduates need to get over themselves.”

Fair statement...for me personally I achieved a goal that I worked my ass off for so as I said there`s no way I would have missed my commencement. If I would have missed it say over a 60`s radical boycott or something similar I believe I would have regretted it to this day.
