Title: College Shtuff
Post by: drenrin2120 on November 03, 2010, 05:33:06 PM
So I know a good amount of you guys are in college doing collegey things. Where are you going to college? What are you majoring in? What do you plan to do afterwards?

For me, I'm at a community college without a clue what I want to major in. Next year I want to go to UMASS, Amherst. My college life is rather uninteresting considering I have no legitimate major and go to a community college.

DUDE.
YOU'RE NOT AT MWCC, ARE YOU?!

This is seriously weirding me out.

Haha, stop doing that. =p

But no, not at MWCC. What college is that even? I'm going to Holyoke Community, North of Springfield. Been in Holyoke for like... 6 years? or so. UMass amherst is ridiculously awesome. Got a friend going there, he showed me around and I fell in love.

Oh thank Jebus.
If you were at my school I think I'd have just died of weird, man.
Mount Wachusett Community college is MWCC. I got into a few private schools, but then I got wicked sick, so this is sort of like practice college, I guess.
If I go to UMASS, I wanna major in marketing management, with a minor in Japanese, because fff yeah international business.

Louisiana Tech University, going for my Bachelor's in Music Education with a concentration in Saxophone.
I'm still debating about getting my masters. If I do, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go to the University of North Texas. They have some beastly instrumentalists.

Also, UMASS Amherst!!! OMG I wish I lived up north. Would have loved to have been in George Parks' band, may he rest in peace :(

University of Rochester: Bachelor of Arts in Comp Sci.

I tried UCSB. Applying for classes was damn hell. So bad, I barely even got into the computer science course at that school.

See, here, Sophomores schedule last, so that's the only year you really get screwed over and can't take the classes you need.

PROTIP: make friends with the secretary at your program's main office as early as possible, preferably in freshman year. Stop in every now and then to chat and talk about random nonsense. Offer her candy maybe. I'm dead serious. A single useful secretary will do more to get you a good schedule than all the planning and phone calls to professors begging to get into full classes will ever do. I had a woman who worked miracles for me. It's the only reason I graduated on time.

It's kinda weird how we were all the same age as the majority of the community when we joined, regardless of when we joined. So Charas was originally full of high-schoolers, and now it's full of university students. When you think about it, it's like we grew up together without ever meeting each other.

Currently a Senior at Florida Institute of Technology getting a B.S. in Computer Science. As may or may not be obvious, I do web development (although I know how to make the normal kind of program as well :P).

As for after college, I'm currently trying to find a company to work full-time for. Having interned at Electronic Arts twice, my recruiter within the company is trying to find a team with an open spot for when I graduate. I also have an on-site interview with Mozilla in about two weeks for a full-time, so we'll see how that goes. Depending on the situation I may or may not apply to a few other companies.

The goal is stable, plentiful income at a decent company, and then lots of saving and paying off of student loans (despite having been on better than a free ride for 3 out of my 4 years in college, I still have ~$10,000 in student loans sitting around, because I made the choice to go to a private college).

At least the shrinking. Increasing the size is rather useful for making titles and stuff.

I was 20ish when I joined, and I was a much nicer person then. I grew out of it.

And Zerl, thats hilarious. Now excuse me, I have a date. With my hand.
Lucas, this is an intervention.
You need to stop seeing your hand. It's not good for you.
Your hand changes you into a different person that we don't love the same way.

Lucas, your hands been deceiving you. Tempting you into darkness. We brought a specialist here to help you. These pills will help you, Lucas. Now be a good boy and do what you're told.


On a sidenote: Honestly, I just realized how awesome of a short game that comic would make.

Title: Re: College Shtuff
Post by: drenrin2120 on November 07, 2010, 08:44:41 PM
Haha, there'd have to be a twist. I was thinking, the comic could be the intro. Then afterwards, the rovers would start thinking, "Oh no! Something must have happened! I have to get myself back in order to save them!" The whole point would be the rover building a rocket to get back "home". He could also find "life" on the planet to interact with and make it less boring. Of course, completely unrealistic, but who the fock cares.

It could be worse. I love my hand so much. I'm attached to it, physically and emotionally. You can imagine how crushed I was when I caught it cheating on me... WITH MY BEST FRIEND.

But repaired our broken relationship. Turns out, my hand was (w/)ri(/gh)t(e/) for me.
