well, today's my 22nd birthday. since passing from the famed realms of age 21, i've only got turning 40 and dying to look forward to, i guess. ;)

on a happier note, i graduate in 2 days!!! scaaaaary... the real world starts in less than 48 hours for me. what's it like out there? after i'm forcibly torn from the protective womb of my sheltered college life, i will join your guys' ranks and work for the next 60 years. someone please have a beer waiting for me :)
 
Congratulations!!!

I finished my BS 5 years ago in June...it goes by way too fast...that was one of the happiest days of my life. I turned in my last assignment, late, 4pm the day before commencement (luckily the prof trusted me and didn't give me an incomplete... my diploma cover did have the diploma inside unlike some of my friends who had to do a bit more summer work).

Don't think you have to work all those years, it wastes too much time... enjoy life... go to grad school... travel the world (preferably on someone else's dime)... meet a good woman to pass the time with... the world truly is yours, enjoy it!

Hey now, turning 40 isn't such a bad thing! You make "joining our ranks and working for the next 60 years" sound like a prison sentence or something :rolleyes:

Besides, you're only 22. By the time you reach retirement age, it will be 80 :D

Happy birthday bud!

You won't be working for the next 60 years. You'll probably work a year or two, then not work for a while, then work a bit, then not work a bit more. I've only been employed about 65 percent of the time since I graduated four years ago (yikes).

But I can huck better than anybody I know, at least if there's decent powder!

Congrats! It's a nice feeling to know that you are done with that B.S. (haha). And 22 isn't a big deal, it's all downhill once you turn 24 though.

My advice to you is to party as hard as you can (because it really starts to hurt as you get past 30!) and get laid as often as you can (because it really starts to get expensive after you get married! ;) )

Don't be in too big a hurry to grow up. I'm still putting it off! :D

hehe, thanks for all the advice and good wishes. graduation day was beautiful, in the mid 60's and sunny, coulnd't have asked for better weather. it's still surreal being back in ma and pa's house. it's so quiet. i keep thinking that it's time for me to pack up the clean laundry and head back to school, but that's not going to happen ever again. but here's to starting the next chapter in my life, right? :) i'm going to be heading to daytona and new smyrna beach on wednesday to find out the fate of my flying career. until then, i'll just enjoy being a bum! :D
 
You can't be a bum if it's only for a week my man.

I'm going on six months at my current stretch, and it's just about getting old, and is about to end anywhoo...

Hey...there are some apartments a few blocks down from the Oyster Pub heading west on the left. Go inside all of them and see if you can guess which one I got the carpet burns in. There are probably still blood stains on the floor and leading out onto the sidewalk even though it was over 20 years ago.

You first day with a massive hangover head over to the VD (Volusia Diner) for some breakfast. It used to be pretty good and pretty cheap.

Don't go to the restaurant across from the speedway. Howard Johnsons maybe? A buddy of mine got the clap from a waitress there. She may still be an employee.

Get a handheld transceiver and sit out in the speedway parking lot transmitting "we land now" on all the local ctaf frequencies. Anytime someone responds just say "we land now."

How in the hell did you get that picture of my wife for your avatar?
