(new pics) Moving to Dallas tomorrow

[aria]

We do get along real well though. As for the semester, it actually started last Thursday. So far I've missed one class entirely and walked into another when it was halfway over. Yaay me.

Don't start making it a habit, trust me. You'll start never going to anything. Undergrad is so damn simple, but the extra freedom can make a person forget how good they have it until they've fucked up beyond repair. Don't be that guy.

To be fair both times it was an accident.

im that guy!

well its not beyond repair just yet.

but to go from a 4.0 to a 1.8 in a year.

go to class. do your homework. study for your exams.

i wish i could afford to live on campus.

It starts that way, then it becomes a "ahh... I did it once, I can get away with missing one more".

Next thing you know you have an exam in 2 days and you have no idea what the class is about other than computers of some sort.

 

[Willeh]

Good luck man!

Have fun!

<3

Hey I finally got my card reader working (I had to delete "sptd.sys" then all was well).

Anyway, magna:

I haven't shaved in two weeks, so I'm on my way to becoming the brown-haired Jewish Nesagwa-in-training, I guess.

Also I've been dating her since October (man I love that tanktop).


Any other disillusions I need to shatter?

 

[Nesagwa]

Id do your girlfriend Dan, sorry.

Braces, eh

Adam, you need to grow out your facial hair and hair-hair... I think you'd look like a Viking --go around to your classes yelling "Børk! Børk! Børk!"

 

[Lagduf]

Adam, you need to grow out your facial hair and hair-hair... I think you'd look like a Viking --go around to your classes yelling "Børk! Børk! Børk!"

He just needs to show up to a couple parties with a drinking horn and scream out "TONIGHT I DRINK TO GODS OF OLD."

And seriously:

DO NOT SKIP CLASS

Everytime you do, it becomes harder and harder and harder to go.

No matter how much you hate it.

This thread is proof of how well liked Adam is here. It's like watching your little brother grow up.

Also...GO TO CLASS ALL THE TIME ADAM!!! Good advice. I hardly ever miss myself, because everything above is true. Miss once, you'll find a reason to miss twice

 

[The_Chosen_One]

I'm sure it's just a wisp of her normal hair, but given the way it's positioned it looks like she hasn't shaved her right armpit in 2 weeks

I'll also second the advice to get out there those first couple weeks. Participation is good. Magna would highly recommend Toastmasters.

Edit :

On a side note, your only about 3 hours from OKC now. We attempt at going to Dallas for Superauctions although we seem to rarely make it Maybe you can come up for one of our random gaming nights. There's some Street Fighter tournys in about a month Magna and I plan on attending.

 

[CrackerMessiah]

Maximum Security Grey was the only color I saw the loft bed in at Ikea.

Ahh... you're actually close to one of the two Ikea locations in Texas. I and my air mattress envy you.

I'll be down to pump you full of ghetto blasters and cheap scotch. :chimp:
Drinking is a college tradition. Stay away from natty light, and buy booze in glass, not plastic, bottles. Chicks will notice how classy you are for doing so.

My advice for college is to show up to every class and do your homework. Sure it sounds simple, but there is more to it. Too many times, a prof. would assign a real bitch of a problem in the homework. Almost as ironic foreshadowing at the beginning of next lecture he would ask "any problems from the homework you'd like to see worked?" and since everyone is sheep noone would speak up about that murderkill problem. That problem almost always shows up on a test, harass your teachers and pester them into showing you what they know. Since most people suck, it is your responsiblity to kick some ass. I want you to know that too many people are more afraid of looking dumb than learning or earning high marks; what they don't know is you're in college because you don't know shit.

In regards to TCO's post, if you have a toastmaster's group at least visit once or twice. I had the good fortune to join a club full of professionals and was able to learn from them many unspoken nuances that distinguish you in the working world.

In addition, I should add that my studies are in engineering, but I'm sure some of this will trickle over into what you're studying.

Oh, and avoid rarehero. Chicks don't like dudes with small hands.

This is so true! Also, if you don't at least stay above a B average overall, it'll become harder and harder to raise your GPA cause your hours and grades determine it. I went from a 4.0 to a 2.0 in a matter of two years cause I thought the grading system was like high school, man was I wrong...

 

[NeoTurfMasta]

Quoted for truth! Deep Ellum is garbage; it's nothing but a street full of night clubs and crime. Ft. Worth is the best place to go to have some fun in the evening!

Ellum was cool in the early to mid 90's, crime wasnt so bad either. You couldnt pay me enough to go out there at night now.

Never thought I'd see they day when someone says Ft. Worth was fun. Being originally from Dallas, I never found shit in FtW to do. Moved away 7 years ago, so I guess things have changed....

And yes, continue to stay away from rarehero.

 

[Hidden Character]

Save skipping class for a major emergency if you really have to.

 

[melchia]

Like everyone has said, DO NOT SKIP CLASS UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. If you attend regularly, your tests and papers will be much easier to deal with. Besides, missing class will keep you from graduating or at least make getting your degree much harder.

 

[norton9478]

Nothing wrong with skipping classes....

You just have to figure out what classes aren't worth your time to go to.

By your soph year, you should be able to get a feel for what classes you can skip without reprisal.

I never got less than a B in any class that I skipped regularly.

IN MicroECO, I got an A- and went to 6 classes all semester. The instructor was a grad student with a heavy accent and taught straight of the book.

Oh, yeah? What was your major?

This is me fearing the hummers.

j/k

Tap it early and often Dan. Just don't get overly emotionally involved.
Women grow on trees in college.
BTW, keep going to class...don't make skipping out a habit.
You'll end up fucking up and feeling really dumb.
Take it from a decade-long junior college vet who took way too long to figure out what the hell he wanted...missing class is massively dumb.





Unless there's an emergency or something REALLY cool to do.

 

[Magnaflux]

Oh, and if you haven't done so, get a fire extinguisher and first aid kit in your dorm room.

Don't ask.

 

[qube]

Hard to believe DE is so bad now. I used to go there whenever I would go to the Metro area in the early/mid 90s and it was great. When did crime start to get so bad there, and why?

I used to go to 8.0's in Ft. Worth when it was still there. Great place to hang in that "other" city

 

[norton9478]

Oh, yeah? What was your major?

Never skipped much in my major (history). I would serialy skip mostly Psyc classes tho. I minored in it. All of the upper level classes taught the same theories but from different perspectives. ONce you hit your second or third upper level class, you pretty much knew it all.

I also skipped like crazy any other Gen-Ed classes.
You only had to do slightly better than the Drunk Freshmen to get a solid B in those classes.

 

[CarlosZ]

Yea man, don't skip class. Im now a sophmore at SDSU and lemme tell you.

First was one class cuz I didn't like it, then fuck it why not, I took an entire week off. It's like a progression. Little...little...little...BIG. I failed a test completely and that woke me up to get my shit together.

 

[Lashujin]

That room needs some Neo. I met some good people in school because of my neo.
