The joy you feel when graduating high school or university is immeasurable, most because sadly, we don\u2019t know what exactly is awaiting us post-graduation! That being said, graduation is a time of celebration and happiness in ones life, and Jordanian families do exactly that. <\/p>


<\/p>

One of the most notable ways Jordanians celebrate graduation is by throwing a bash directly after the ceremony. The graduate arrives with the robe still on to a party with family, friends, and loved ones all with the following gifts in hand.<\/p>


<\/p>

1) Money, money, money<\/strong><\/p>


<\/p>


<\/p>


<\/p>

Anywhere between 5 and 20 dinars that you either get sneakily given or you get in a white envelope. The graduate will always fake rejecting the money (although they\u2019re secretly thrilled), until they finally accept.<\/p>


<\/p>


<\/p>

2) Knafeh or Chocolates from Al-Fursan<\/strong><\/p>


<\/p>


<\/p>


<\/p>

Graduation happiness calls for a 5 kilo tray of knafeh from the finest sweets shops in Amman. No time to hunt down good knafeh? Chocolates from Al-Fursan in a fancy vase are the way to go!<\/p>


<\/p>

3) A set of glassware<\/strong><\/p>


<\/p>


<\/p>


<\/p>

As a graduate, what the heck am I expected to do with glassware? This is either a gift intended for the graduates parents, or a re-gift! Either way, it\u2019s a bust for the student.<\/p>

Speaking of graduation periods, here are some of the songs you\u2019ll definitely hear:<\/p>
