[bicentennial_baby]

11. I'll be graduating University in 08

A bit late, but graduating nonetheless. :D

[Ava]

12. awesome congrats!

so tell me, how is college? i dread it but look forward to it at the same time, lol. i graduate highschool this school year so i'll be heading to college younger than my friends.

[bicentennial_baby]

15. It's great...

I've gone to Community College (which was excellent) and University. It's wonderful! You get the opportunity to learn SO many things you never learned before, so many different perspectives, teachers, etc. I love it. I'll be sad to leave, in a way. But, after I have my future baby, I get to go back for my Master's!! :bounce:

:P

You're going to do great!! Where are you thinking of going?

:hi:

[Ava]

16. awesome! sounds great

i'm looking into several places. it just depends on what i can afford and if i can get a scholarship. ideally there are some big schools in big cities that i'd love to go to, but it all just depends.

[bicentennial_baby]

18. I am sure you can get scholarships, with your credentials..

I can't wait to see what you do!! :bounce:

You are going to have a magnificent time in college, I know it! :D

:pals:

[Ava]

21. lol, well thanks

i hope i can! i really look forward to college but at the same time i'm nervous about it. i guess that's normal for a lot of high school seniors though.

[bicentennial_baby]

29. Completely!! I did see that you said earlier today

that you might take a year off. My advice, apply, get accepted, defer for a year, and do your thing. Don't put off the applying part...That was my mistake, and I didn't go back to school until I was 25. I don't regret my life experiences in the interim, per se, but I think I may have been better off going to school earlier.

But, then again, my life would be 100% different if I had, so I dunno....I'm pretty happy being almost graduated, married to Sniffa, and doing my thing. :P

[Ava]

34. i'll definitely go ahead and apply

and i'll apply to every where that i can't even afford with the hopes of finding a way to afford it, lol.

btw, congrats on the wedding!

[bicentennial_baby]

37. Aw, thank you so much!!

I'm taking to this domesticated bliss thing quite well, lol!!

Actually, as we're both so political, it's a perfect pairing. We can talk politics all day, and spur each other on to take action. Sniffa had a LTTE published last week! w00t! :bounce:

:pals:

[Ava]

38. awesome!

you two seem very happy together and the wedding pics i saw posted here were beautiful :pals:

hows the kitten doing?

[bicentennial_baby]

47. Oh, he's wonderful!!

About 5 months old now, and a holy terror!! He's getting so big! We will post new pics soon. His new thing is water, he loves it. He will dunk in the sink all day, we got him a fountain water dish, he loves it!! When he's not being a little monster, he's adorable. :loveya:

[rockymountaindem]

20. Don't worry about going to college a year younger than your friends

As I'm sure you've figured out by now it's not an obstacle to social interaction. That said, college is what you make of it. If I could offer one piece of advice it would be to live on campus for as long as possible. While you might not get the experience of living totally on your own, etc. you do get to form bonds with the other dorm dwellers which are really strong, close and long-lasting. I wouldn't trade that for some one room apartment in the middle of nowhere.

[Ava]

23. well my mom had said that she will require me to live on campus at least my first year

since i'll be a year younger and just because of security etc(typical mom worrying ;) ).

[rockymountaindem]

28. Well, that is what it is

but IMHO the best thing about living on campus is that when you get that urge at 1am to go hang out with people, there's always someone to talk to. That, and your friends are never far away at all.

[Ava]

30. that is true

then again if i have school the next morning i would like to get some rest at 1am hahaha ;)

[rockymountaindem]

32. weak

:)

[Ava]

36. lol, how so?

:P

[rockymountaindem]

40. First of all, going to class in the morning... not cool

My university didn't have arts classes (engineers lived in a parallel universe) which started before 10am. Secondly, the idea that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a propaganda lie perpetrated upon us by the breakfast-industrial complex. Thirdly, regardless *you've got to show committment*!!! You're hanging out late at night? People want to watch another movie? You *do* it dammit!!! Peer pressure compels you! Got it!?!? If you wanna be cool, you get by on minimal sleep even when you don't have to. *That's* what seperates the pros from the amateurs.

Now, if you can do that while still getting good grades, being in the school play, volunteering etc... that's hall of fame territory.

[Ava]

43. see this is where i differ from you

i don't care about being "cool." i care about being successful and while i do hope to have friends and a good time in college i'm going there for an education over everything else. as for being "cool" i'm not going to force myself to do anything to make people like me. if they like me then that's cool, if not then so be it.

;)

[rockymountaindem]

45. That was hyperbole

But being "cool" doesn't mean one thing or another. It means whatever you want it to mean. You don't have to be a party type. I wasn't a party type. I never went to clubs. I went to bars sometimes, with groups of friends to hang out and play some pool. So, you don't have to be Joe or Jane Smooth all the time. Just be yourself, and other people like you will gravitate to you and each other. But back to the point and being more serious, living on campus is a good idea because it allows you to maximize social time with the people you choose to spend time with.

I'd say I had a pretty good college career. I was on the Dean's list, did extracurricular stuff, made good friends, etc. But I didn't get the best accolade until the very end, when a freshman I'd only known for a year told me that he was sad I wasn't going to be at school next year. That meant a lot to me, because although my name may live on in some dusty archive (unless I become famous, of course :)) it is better that I remain in the fond memories of those who knew me best. So, of all the things I did in college, making these kinds of friendships was, IMHO, perhaps the most formative experience I've had and one of the best uses of my time at school.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. Infinitely better than high school, trust me.

[Ava]

24. lol, well that's not saying much

:rofl:

[JTG of the PRB]

13. 2008? YAWN!

2001 was where it was at! Also, 2006 was a good class too... And I was part of both of 'em!

[Ava]

14. well how do you know if 2008 will be a yawn?

got a time machine :P

[JTG of the PRB]

17. Yes. Yes I do.

Ha! You weren't expecting THAT, were you? :rofl:

[Ava]

19. guess it was your graduation gift huh?

and i totally was expecting that because i have a time machine to so ha! :P

[JTG of the PRB]

25. Yeah, well mine's better.

MY flux capacitor work at a 97% efficiency rate with only .57% degradation of the nuclear fuel supply per every seven years! Beat THAT!

[Ava]

26. mine's newer!

cause it was my graduation gift in 2008 and my 2008 self brought it to me and let me go for a few spins in it so HA!

[JTG of the PRB]

27. Damn it!

Well... The throttle on mine comes from 2023. It's all shiny and chrome.

[Ava]

31. mine was updated right after i was given it

i traveled the future and updated it with all sorts of 3052 gadgets. beat that! :P

[JTG of the PRB]

41. I think I can beat that...

I just traveled BACK in time and made it so that AMERICA, and NOT the British, won the Revolutionary War!

Uh oh. Did I just alter history? I certainly hope the Eternal British Empire is still intact... I was going to be a duke!

[Ava]

42. you idiot! now the british are going to try to do that same

silly man! :P

[JTG of the PRB]

44. That's the problem with time travel...

If you go back into the past and change something, the only person who will know history has been changed is you. If you return to your own time after changing the past, the world will be entirely different and you will be entirely the same.

Ah, I loves me a good temporal paradox...

[Ava]

46. yes, but you just completely messed that up by telling everyone you changed history

so now that people know that you changed history they can go back and prevent you from changing it creating a new history.. or would that be an old history

:P

[Fox Mulder]

65. 2001? Psssht. 2000 is where it was at.

:P

If I can work my credits out right and don't mind working my ass off this year. :P

Else it'll be 2009.
