Picture this: you work hard and long to earn your diploma. It’s sitting on the breakfast table. You’re eating breakfast. A splotch of grape jelly from your toast ends up on your diploma. Can you say “awkward?” Do you bother to get a replacement? That’s probably not that easy to do!
When you get a diploma, you usually one get the one version of it– they don’t give you a stack of “extras.” Therefore, it’s important to treat your diploma as a very special piece of paper. You should frame it!
What are some of the advantages of framing your diploma?
- Well, over time it’s easy for ink (as well as colors) on paper to fade and/or discolor. However, if you put your diploma in a frame that utilizes UV-resistant glass, then it’s protected from harmful UV rays. Meanwhile, that glass protects the document from dust and debris… including grape jelly.
- Obviously, you’d like your diploma to stay in good shape for years to come. You don’t want it torn, folded, creased, etc. When you frame it, the diploma gets encased such that the frame helps protect it. If you want your diploma looking good years from now, get it framed.
- Finally, you are an accomplished person. Your diploma is proof of that– and you should show it off to people! Your diploma should be hanging on a prominent wall for people to see. That way they know you graduated from the school you went to, and they can see what degree you got and when you got it. A framed diploma on the wall legitimizes you to others– they can literally see your credentials because the diploma is right in front of their face.
