i mentioned it back in march of last year in a thread in off topic, someone made a thread about being sad and unhappy. I replied with what i just got back doing (the kili climb/backpacking thru africa) after being depressed for a few years i finally got off my ass by packing a bag and going to africa to climb. Just a one day decision where i picked up and left that sad depression behind. I was replied with a sarcastic "cool story bro" and kinda made fun of... Figured it probably sounded presumptuous and made up so never brought it up again. Figured it wasn't meant for this community.
If you are interested and would like to hear about my climb more I would be glad to make a thread. I just don't want to come across the wrong way and push any beliefs or "better than thou" type shit on anyone, because frankly i'm better than nobody, just different.

I tried using the normal tag that works at forums, that didn't do it, so I did it with the image button but now it shows nothing. Oh well.
Or maybe I should try again.

Nice! A Master's hood. Based on the color, was your degree was related to Education?
Academic dress is fascinating and the Wikipedia article on it has been built into something pretty good with plenty of pics and sub-articles (US dress).
Mine had the traditional purple with hood and sleeve stripes. You'll get those the next time'round eh?

Yes education, and with the goofy dangly sleeves to boot. Funny story, I had no clue what color it was supposed to be, so when I picked up my cap and gown it was yellow and the gown was super short. So last second right before the ceremony I had to get it changed (fortunately they had a "something is fucked up" booth). So I approach the lady and explain the tassel and hood are the wrong color and the gown is about a foot too short. She decided to give me some snappy answer like "Well when you picked it up did you not think it was odd that they said the wrong name" which I replied "You are right I would have, if that were the case, it was actually just wrong thanks"
She wasn't too pleased with my reply, I also then accidentally broke my cap when the button that holds the tassel popped off. It was kind of a mess.
I'm excited for my big wizards robe next time. Some of the faculty had some truly wild doctoral robes from their schools. One guy had a purple silkesque robe with green and gold accents with a brimmed hat. It was probably the greatest thing ever
not exactly, but similar to this.

I think full-time faculty buy robes that are higher quality than the rented stuff most students wear at graduation. I know if I ever became full time faculty I would probably buy one (cost effective? no. fun? yes.)
This was what I wore at mine. I kind of which we went with tams (the soft, fabric hats which can be used with a J.D.). Purple's the traditional color for law in the US:
