    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. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I haven't posted here in a long ass time, but I graduated May 27th at my ghetto high school, which is became a low standard high school this year lol. 12 years of slavery yes, and congratulations to you man even though the graduation was a bit late, when did school start for you?

    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.

    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?

    Yes. Unfortunately I'm not sticking around an extra semester to finish up the 2 classes I need to complete a Spanish major.

    I am not excited about this at all.

    And at the time I was mocking people (those with my current age) telling me student years were normally the best ones.
    Should I become a student again, I'd study abroad even more than I did, there's nothing better than being a student in a foreign country.

    The only thing I did not have at the time, is my wife, and that's the only thing of worth in my nowadays life.

    Remember:
    Life's a bitch, and then you die.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    My 2 year degree has entered it's third year : ). I need 3 more classes to have my associates ( WOOOOHOOOO ) outside of industry certifications, i'm not yet considering furthering my education. I don't think I can endure any more pointless core classes.
