It's not tight enough to be a real concern, just enough that I can't remove it. I think it's more symbolic than anything...the only reason I made it through school was to get the ring and it's a big part of who I am as a person.

Now it is part of my person.

We can usually get new ones for about 15$. I don't think the adjustment costs less. There is also the option of not wearing it, as wearing rings that keeps touching a mouse is annoying sometimes.
