BIRTHDAYS

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Jeez, I can't believe your only a year and a half older than me. For some reason I thought you were starting your Senior year of college haha. Happy Birthday!

I have about 1 year (and maybe 1 semester) left.

Early grad? That's what I'm probably doing. I wrecked house on my AP Exams so it will be really easy for me to get my bachelors in 4 years. I'm thinking about trying to get a double major instead though. If I pack on 18 credits a semester for the first year of the easy required classes I should be able to do that no problem.

I was planning on double majoring as either CPE/Math or CPE/EE (electrical engineer). But then I found out that a second major has absolutely no positive benefits on pay, and that I would be wasting my time. It's in your best interest just to graduate ASAP then spend the time that you would dual majoring getting a graduate degree.

I also knocked out a bunch of classes via AP--best decision that I ever made in highschool.

I am probably planning on getting an MBA or masters in computer science.

College sounds stressful but hell I can barely wait till I'm out of my retarded High School and able to go to college. (95% of the people in my High School are too stupid to have any hope of a successful future...) :|

Assuming Butler has a vast percentage of clueless simpleminded potheads then yes Butler is pretty much like my school. :(

Dude, I already miss High School to be honest. I was the king of my school. I can only hope I'll be as socially successful in college as I was in high school.

The system is totally different in the UK

it goes

School -> College -> University

I've turned 18, and i'll be moving to university this september, can't wait to move out then :mrgreen:

Also, since the age restriction of buying alcohol is 18 in the UK, I can go to a bar now, cool! :lol:

I decided to forgoe the usual *get mortal on your birthday and end up carried home* in favour of taking my girlfriend out for a meal and a couple of drinks afterwards, it was really fun!. Overall a very good birthday... oh and my sister bought me LOST season 3 and 4, so now I have them all *currently watching them on my old combi TV :lol: *

Congrats falco for passing those exams, i'm still awaiting the results of my A-Levels, i'm not that worried since I gained quite a lot of credit (UMS score) before the final exams, but I honerstly did terrible in my final exams, the stress just got to me, which is odd for me :(

But college (sixth form) is over, roll on university! :)

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!

And now a joke to lighten to mood :D
