*throws more books in fire*

Hello club (^w^)

Huh?

Here is my view on college;

College is like any educational institution except you have to shovel out a crap load of cash for said education. You choose what classes you need/want to take and you go to lectures (or take an online course) for a semester. Semesters are broken up into fall, spring and summer. The first two years of college you either get your prerequisites for whatever major you are in/wish to be in. These first two years can also help you figure out what major you wish to be in if you can't decide.

You can live at home with your parents and do college or you can live with people/on your own. When you go the typical "kid leaves home to start their life" adventure, you learn how to live with various people (aka roommates) or you learn to live on your own. You may take on part-time jobs or full jobs and even learn how to socially interact in a college setting. Laundry, bills, dishes, partying, trying weed, getting drunk, maybe getting laid/joining a frat are all possibilities as well.

Tips for college:
- roommates can be your best friend or worst nightmare so be warned.
- dorm rooms are tiny.
- lock your doors every time.... I know this is silly, but this happens to everyone (I was stupid and thought, "oh what's the big deal, just got to do laundry down the hall") and shit goes down fast.
- balance study time and fun time (a lot of people get the boot for this one)
- keep up with your class credits, GPA, college finances because college are notorious for fucking your information up. I nearly got kicked out a few times because my school didn't document things properly and I had to go in and get it fixed myself. Print out documentation and ask for receipts too.
- Really take the time to figure out what you would want a degree in and what your opportunities would be with said degree. The more you know the better. Doctor may be an awesome career choice, but the schooling and cost is a bitch. Sociology is a fairly easy degree (depending on the college), but opportunities after that are limited.
- if you drink alcohol and have never had it before, be warned that you will probably act stupid and do stupid things. Even if it isn't during the first time you drink, believe me it will happen lol.
- wear condoms when you have sex; STDs are high in college settings as well as pregnancy.

I personally think college is a good thing to do if you are able to afford to go to one and feel motivated. It's a lot of work and a lot of it can be bullshit, but if you can figure out what you want to do through it all then I say just go for it. If you do two years at college and get 60 semester credits you can get your AA degree. Helps with job opportunities or switching to another school if need be.

Also nursing school is tough so you are warned if you ever felt like going that route (TTwTT)

Should add, went to college and graduated with a BSN in nursing. Applying for my license and will probably do a residency (lower pay + job guarantee for however many years it says required under the contract + continued education). There are a lot of jobs for nurses, but until you get some experience under your belt they don't want someone fresh off the market, hence why I am going to do a residency.

Wallpapers saved and freaky's pic post gave me a good laugh for the night.

Fela Pure Mitarashi-san no Jijou The Animation

This is the only animation out for it they never did anymore with the series.

Not yet, will watch it after or along with accel world. Happy to finally be breaking into the series, though I don't think I'll magically turn into a mecha fantastic lol.



Did the rave because I was young and my friends wanted to (went with a huge group of people from high-school back in the day). It was memorable to say the least, but some smash bros with a bunch of people and some pizza sounds a lot better nowadays.



*pats*

Don't worry I did the same with a pizza two night ago TTwTT




Gonna probably crash for the night (well morning technically lol) so later Shotty, Tsujoi, and Yuri-chan. Talk more later (^^)/

Best alternative ever! I do that sometimes... or I'll re-heat whatever cold take-out leftovers I have (Chinese food, pizza, etc)

Use to get sick and my doctor reccomended for what I had so I've been drinking it ever since lol.

Good luck Zelly-kun! (^w^)/



Panel's are pretty fun when you have a good group hosting it.

Yeah the crowds can be a bit annoying at bigger con's, but some are pretty fun to go to. I know metrocon was pretty neat and their artist alley was pretty nicely done. They also do a rave at night which is pretty comical (since I'm over 21 at this point, will probably just check out other places to chill).

I'm like an old person atm with my cranberry juice and my eggs with grits! (>w<)



*gives catnip to kitty*

I'm the same way. I am not very good at motivating myself to study..... had to retake a class and graduate late as a result, but at least I graduated lol.

Lol, nice use of a reference.

I'm suprised it hasn't rained here with how bipolar the weather usually is.



*hands over some bottled water*

It amazes me how much school priced goods are. Use to cringe ever time I had to buy a candy bar.



Should be able to find a torrent for that no problem and make sure you study enough for your test lol

*covers with blanket*



Went to Metrocon and a few others in florida, but I can't remember the names of the other two (both closed down, but were good). I want to go to the next metrocon and maybe the one held up in Baltimore.... Otakon?

ComicCon in san Diego would be amazing to go to!
*holds up fist* One day I shall go (TT^TT)b

welcome back (^^)

Tired I assume? *directs to comfy couch*



I'm creative, but not that creative to make moveable cat ears lol.

I'm just happy to finally get to the point where I can start to think about doing such things like conventions again. It's been far too long since I went to one.

You been to any?



Ello Art, fancy seeing you here (^^)



Lol, I get that sometimes. Always had an interest in horror and psychological based works.

They made a sequel called Damnation. Haven't seen it yet, but I heard it wasn't as good as the first film.

Not a fan of gyms personally. There's always that one guy who stares at your butt (it always happens to me at least lol) and I don't do well with mechanical equipment.

I just do cardio indoors and I want to start up some light jogging with my bf. Basically just want to stay toned and build up stamina.

If I cosplay I'll probably do Rinoa from FF8 first since my bf is a huge fan of the series. Plus I look a lot like her so it wouldn't be a hard first cosplay. He wants to be a black mage.

Others are Izuna from No Game No Life and if I ever went to a convention where fakku was held would have fun doing a rendition of momoka lol.



Hello Sho-kun, how are you this fine morning/afternoon? (^^)

Hmmm, learn something new everyday. Making me even more curious to watch now, hope they do a good job.

Cool, league is still something I'm new to. Going to have some buddies help me learn the ropes when I can get around to playing lol.

I took a break from doing exercise for a while and I've been itching to get back into shape. Mostly just for my own reasons (health, helps me control my nerves/anxiety)..... also really want to get back into cosplay so I want to look good for it! x,D

Got to cover one more chapter, but breaking with some cardio to game music!! x3

Who's playing and what game?

You talking about the broken notification link thing?

I wanted to do that during my clinical at a pediatric unit.... the kid peed in the bathtub and I knew instantly that I never wanted to take care of kids as a nurse.

I like intensive care in the hospital myself.

Anyways, how you doing Tsujoi?



*pats head as well*

Sorry to hear that :/

Watching Resident Evil Degeneration currently since I wanted something CG and I like zombies. Saw it a while ago, but it's nice to see it again.

Also got the okay from my folks to buy smash bros for the 3ds so once I'm done with this test I can play it.

*happy to receive headpats*

Thanks Azelle, how are you? (^w^)

His and Her Circumstances (aka Kare Kano)

Thanks, I should be alright. Only thing that I hate studying is drugs. Apparently the new test is only going to show generic names (no brand names) for drugs so I have to try and remember crazy Egyptian hieroglyphics @w@

I also dislike pediatrics and maternity so when I go to answer questions about them I just think to myself, "but I don't wanna take care of them!" xD
