Thread: Graduations

    Graduations

    Who's having them?

    Personally, I am graduating from High School today. 12 years of slavery, only to get into college But I figured I'd make a thread to share in anyone else's celebrations whether it be High School, College, whatever.

    I graduated May 18. Yeah, 12 years of Catholic education... I am glad to be out. Can't wait to go off to college next year. I just hope I will still be able to get my anime on the school connection. I think they might block Torrent traffic in some of the newer dorms.

    I graduated earlier this year from Cornell University with a double major and a minor in Arts and Sciences in various, useless humanities. It slightly impresses people that I went there, but it was really a subpar place and probably not worth all the money I shelled out for it. Congrats to all.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity.

Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    What are everyones plan for after graduation? I personally am going off to college next year (As I have previously stated). I will be at the University of Alabama, majoring in Management Information Systems. If not college for the rest of you, what are your plans?

    EDIT: Grammatical Errors.

    One would think that two majors and a minor from a Cornell graduate would be enough to land him a decent job. How's the job hunting going?

    The college I attend does this and when I lived in the dorms I found a few websites that let me keep up with the shows I liked. Not as good as torrenting but meh, better then nothing.

    http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime

    Really though, just look for Direct Download sites to get it from.

    Graduated with a B.S in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University

    Fuck that's a lot to say. Anyway, a good way around torrent blocks is IRC!!! You can find bots with tvRIPs all over (koolaidtv and tear on rizon for example).

    Yeah, I graduate from High School on Sunday (June 24) so I kinda beat all of you on the late graduation day thing...

    Anyway, I'm headed off to Rutgers University where I'll be majoring in Electrical/Computer Engineering.

    make sure not to get a "second major" or even a "minor" in the classic Scarlet Knight discipline . Seriously, have fun, but wrap it up.

    I cannot support any fact more than I can support that one. It is Crucial you wrap it up!

    If you don't wrap it up, make sure she's rich.

    meh, guess I might as well mention that I graduated from Purdue in May, with a BS in computer science, a BA in psychology and a minor in philosophy.

    See?


    I'm currently still around campus working my old job while jobhunting for a full time sysadmin position. The market looks fairly promising, and I think I'll be able to find something suitable.

    Wow! Congrats to all the other grads -sorry I hadn't posted again, just got back from a week in Myrtle Beach

    Yeah, my school started day after Labor day, so Sept. 9th? Anyway yeah now I'm off to Virginia Wesleyan College and currently plan on majoring/minoring/dual majoring in Computer Science, Art, and/or French.

    Yeah...I wasn't really aware that Rutgers was infamous for its "second major" (as masamuneehs put it) but I'll keep all your advice in mind. Even though Rutgers has that reputation, I'm pretty sure it still has a good engineering program (or at least I think). It was kind of my "fall-back" school since I didn't get into my top school (plus I got a good sum of scholarships), so I hope it lives up to my expectations.

    Feel free to leave any comments about the school if you'd like, it would most likely help me to get to know the place better.

    And yeah...when I do party, I'll remember to party safe.

    Time to bring back an (almost) forgotten thread!

    I just finished my last exam and handed in my last assignment. That's pretty much the end of my schoolwork (with the exception of my graduating essay....but realistically I have all summer to do that) so now I will have a shiny new MA Ling. Technically, my graduation ceremony isn't until the fall, but for all intents and purposes I'm a graduate now. Yeah!!!!!!!! *celebrates*

    Anyone else graduating this year?
