I will be graduating next year, from Lehigh University, and my mom has been bugging me about getting a ring. Does anyone else get one of these class rings, or is this a lost tradition?

I got a HS ring, but I lost it. :(

My vote... High School ring - Yes. College ring - No. College rings are just lame.

Seriously, highschool was a waste of life. Forget the ring, have a :cookie: instead.

No, didn't get a high school or a college ring. Honestly, would you really wear it more than a few months? What value would it really have for you?

Will you wear it? If yes, it's worth it. If not, it's not worth it. That's the bottom line. I wore my high school ring until the day I got my college ring. 4 years out almost to the day and I still wear my college ring, so it was money well spent for me.

But if you are just going to throw it in a drawer somewhere, don't bother.

I got a high school ring because, at least socially, it was a big deal.

no one I know for a college ring, though.

agreed. Nowadays, everyone goes to HS and college. If you really want to get a class ring, get a PhD or a professional degree.

Same here except I had a bit more time between end of HS and end of College.

anyone that wears a highschool, college, or superbowl ring is shady.

*edit* and yes, that includes anyone that responds to my post saying they wear a class ring and are offended by my stereotyping. ;)
