Graduation wishes worth writing
Everyone will congratulate the degree. The message that lands is the one about what it cost — the shifts worked around lectures, the February where they nearly stopped, the essay written at 2am in a kitchen.

For a school leaver
For a university graduate
For someone who did it later
Mature students get fewer congratulations and more obstacles.
Short and warm
How to make it yours
- Talk about the effort, not the qualification. The result is public; the grind was not.
- If someone nearly dropped out, do not raise it unless they do first.
- For younger graduates, avoid predictions about their career. Nobody knows, and it lands as pressure.
- Mention one specific memory from the years it took.

What do I write to a graduate?
One line about the effort and one about what you saw. “You kept going in February” says more than any well done.
Should I mention the debt?
No. It is real, but it is not the thing to raise on the day.
What if they did not get the grades they wanted?
Congratulate the finishing, not the result. “You finished something hard” is true regardless of the transcript.
