My only question is how do you guys know all this crap about your school? College is such a blur to me. All I know is that I got my degree and got a job, so now I don't give a shit.
For me it's because I'm old. I have CRS(Can't remember Shit)
Elitist UNC grads are smart enough to remember everything about their school. As a peasant, you don't have the mental capacity to remember that kind of stuff.
Totally off topic, but did you know there are vidoes of some of your college comedy routines posted on youtube @heelz2345?
Well I was using a personal example. I was in good standing after my freshman year (not a great GPA, but good standing). I had a bad first semester of sophomore year following the loss of my grandmother and failed two classes out of the four I was taking. Tanked my GPA and put me behind the hours necessary per semester, so I went from good standing to suspended, no warning. I had to appeal for probation, which I did and was granted. I was able to recover and graduate with two majors, but it was a damn scary thing to think you're gonna be kicked out of school, so I remembered it.
I did know there were some, I didn't realize anyone else in the world knew there were videos of my old comedy routines
Oh boy, if you like some real corny jokes about Fruit Gushers and such, then you are in for a treat.
I was looking for your youtube page for the OSM and naturally assumed it was under your name so I searched for that. Those videos popped up in the search result.
I went to Campbell. It made more sense financially for me. I received some scholarship money and they have a program that allows you to get your undergrad degree and masters in 5 years instead of the usual 6, so I saved a year of time and money.
From Princeton to Buies Creek to the ATL. Well played, sir.
@TarHeelNation11 would like the standards lower because that would make it easier for him to hook up with the ladies. I hope this clears things up.
Geez guys, you're gonna give the poor kid a sad. Go easy on him.
He already knows he's ugly.
I'm sure no one cares, but shaving off that extra year was a pain in the ass. I had to take at least 18 hours every semester except for the last.
I figured it was something like that haha. There are some student films I made at UNC that would probably show up as well
Yeah but five years in Buies Creek is like seventeen anywhere else, so did you really come out ahead?
It's actually not that bad except they kept making improvements right after I had already lost the benefit. They added cable to the dorms the year after I moved out, they opened a new basketball arena the year after I graduated and brought back the football program two years after I graduated. They've rebuilt about half the campus and added a medical school in the years since I graduated as well.
I'm also sure no one cares, but after my two uhmm... less-than-productive semesters in Athens, I had to play catch-up in a big way once I got to UNC, so that I could still graduate in four years of college. Had to take 15-16 hours a semester. But it was journalism with a minor in history. Wasn't like I had to take 15-16 hours of science or something difficult.

Am I the only one on the board that has a useful degree?I majored in Biology
I tip my cap to you sir. Like I said, if I was in a difficult major like that, I would've had to work a lot harder and probably would've flunked out.I majored in Biology
@Raising Heel has that undergrad degree in Latin American studies. If he eats Mexican twice a month, every month, I'm sure the degree has paid for itself by now.
I have some experience in Latin American studies as well.
Damnit. I was an Associate Biologist in an Animal Lab for 9 years. Hated being closed up all the time. Should have stayed, could've been making the big bucks.
** insert joke about "hands-on" education **
She doesn't like it when I call her that.
My dumb ass always wanted to coach so I took a teaching job.
Woah... are you saying that teaching at the only school for 100 square miles around and negotiating with the Nebraska state tourism board for commission pay is NOT prestigious?!
It is to the 13 people out here that know me.
By the way, UNC plays a game tonight. Figured I'd add that since this used to be a thread about basketball.
I've taught zoology, physical science, biology, anatomy & Physiology, genetics, PE, algebra and wood shop. The pay out here is pretty good and the insurance is free.
