As June rolls on you will notice two other celebrations in addition to Graduations. One is Father's Day which in the USA is observed on the third Sunday of June. As the title clearly explains this is a day where Father's are honored. Traditionally this recognition is through gifts and meals. If you are not able to be with your own father perhaps some friends might invite you to join in their family celebration. If this should happen it is not likely that you would be required to contribute a gift or a meal. Just your presence would be enough.
The second celebrations which have traditionally been observed as part of June are weddings. June has for some time been a month when many couples schedule their actual wedding ceremony. It is generally thought that this has evolved from the same conditions which caused Commencements to be scheduled in May and June. The weather is more likely to be pleasant and agreeable for an outdoor celebration. Also, many couples meet in college and June is a convenient time for them to marry after having graduated. Thus they begin their new life together.
With all this happening right on campus June can be a festive month for an International Student. Enjoy!
