Re: Off Topic 2012

You guys ever heard of 2 girls 1 cup? Let me say this....

WHAT WAS SEEN...CANNOT BE UNSEEN. I'm still saying "No" even after I watched the video. I refuse to believe it happened, or that any of it was real.

Dude I got a C3PO pen from my Reese's Puffs box this morning.

It's even better than I thought.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Savor it. Even though I was at a new school last year, I had an awesome school year. I'd probably consider it the best I've ever had, but if not it's tied with junior year which was at a different school with all of my friends.

Seriously though, even taking a ton of AP/honors classes, the workload wasn't bad at all and the teachers actually tend to treat you like adults for once. Attending sporting events as a senior was awesome, we did a ton of ridiculous **** including the whole body paint/super fans getup for football games, and nobody looked down upon us because we were seniors. At the same time, there's a sort of unity you'll start to feel with your class, even if you aren't that close with many of them. It's weird. It kicked in for us especially during the spring with prom/social/superlatives/graduation.

My grades were the best I've ever had because I was completely unstressed for pretty much the whole year. Again, this was at a school at which I knew only a few kids going into the year. The teachers also seem to increase in quality as I moved up in high school, especially in my hardest AP classes (5'd all three of my AP tests, mostly because of awesome teachers).


I'm now at the point where, in the next week, nearly all of my friends are going off to college. I'm leaving in two weeks. I probably won't see some of these people ever again, and many of them I'll probably see once over winter break or something if we don't drift apart. It's a bit depressing to think about.

Still though, I'm incredibly excited for college, even if it means leaving some of my closest current friends behind for awhile.

Having said that, as awesome as college will probably be, you definitely want to enjoy senior year fully. Don't use "I'm leaving soon enough" as a crutch to avoid taking advantage of this year.

EDIT: Don't let college admissions stress you out. Start early, work hard on your essays, and once they're in, stop worrying about whether or not you'll get in. I had an abnormal college search as I knew where I wanted to go (for financial and educational reasons) before I even started researching schools, and I was accepted before my other applications were due. But the one thing I can't stress enough is that if you're going to get in, you're going to get in, and if you're not, you're not, so don't let the period between applying and receiving your decision stress you out.

Also, unless you're a prodigious genius or you only want to apply to one school (like me), you're probably going to get rejected. If you don't get rejected you probably didn't reach far enough (again unless you're applying places for financial reasons). Don't worry about rejection at all. I obviously didn't get rejected by my school but I have friends much smarter than me who became really distraught when getting waitlisted and eventually rejected by the MITs of the world. It's really no big deal unless you were truly banking on getting in there. The same thing applies to mid-range schools. If you don't get rejected, you didn't reach far enough. I definitely didn't reach far enough.

Thanks for the tips man, I think we're going different routes though. I plan on starting at a community college then transferring to a four year. I still haven't decided on a major yet but I still have some time.

It's ok Duke... I've still never seen that video.

And I intend to keep it that way.

Re: Off Topic 2012

You're quickly gaining a penchant for being that guy who's incredibly late on everything.

Yeah, even I've heard of it. I haven't actually watched it though, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to.

It's times like these Olympics that I remember how insanely proud I am to say Abby Wambach lives about 10 minutes away from me.

At one point my uncle lived next door to Kordell Stewart. And he had previously lived in the same neighborhood as Rod Woodson.

Ryan??

Yeah, well, Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, and Sydney Leroux all play for the same team up here. I win.

Hmm? No, I've seen it.

I just think they were making fun of me because I was late on watching it. Youtube didn't exist for me until 2010. And even then I didn't go on youtube much other than to watch the occasional Chris Smoove video, Looking up a song, and/or in the process of getting Rick Rolled.

Also a brohoof is this

Also, question. If your entire arm and hand just starts convulsing for no reason does anyone know what that might mean?

Re: Off Topic 2012

I can't drink vodka straight but it's a main component in my favorite mixed drink---a Kamikaze---so I have to deal with it if I want a mixed drink.

Grey Goose or bust. Ketel One is OK. Skyy is not doable. No chance with Smirnoff and such. There's some really crazy smaller vodka distilleries. Haven't really had them though.

I've always felt that Grey Goose was overrated. I've always thought it was overly oily and had a gasoline taste to it. I've always felt it was the marketing that made them so popular. Not a huge vodka guy though, so I'm probably not the best authority.

Any scotch drinkers here? I love me a good single malt.
