GYERO ARCHIVE

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Dropped my oldest off at an overnight camp at Centre College. I was a nerd in high school, so I got to stay there for Governor's Scholars ... 25 years ago. The dorms are exactly the same as when I was there - I mean exactly the same. How is this possible? Because they were trash even back then. And it costs how much to go to school there? In f***ing Danville, no less?

Disappointed in @catholic_back , who's now essentially running a little business on Facebook flipping Bourbon bottles at astronomical prices.

The right thing to do would be to offer his extries up to Wildcat friends who like to actually consume at a fair price. ukadrian@lycos.com

Tried to blackmail him by sharing stories of really homosexual things he did over the weekend, but he wouldn’t budge. Joke’s on him. I can tell tales of very, very gay things he may have done.

They built a new dorm in 2008, another in 2012 and another is in construction to open this fall, but for as long as I've worked there, they've insisted on putting campers and Governor's Scholars in the old ones. Probably financial reasons.

As for the increase in tuition...we're supposed to be getting a new basketball court! First time in 15 years!

Tech said you tried to pay with steaks. LOLZ, because you eat so many steaks.

I absolutely cracked up - my kid thought nothing of it. Putting a bunch of pre-teen punks in your worst dorms is probably for the best, I suppose.

something something meat something something anth. we all know where this is going

Who was it that drunkenly tried to pay a bar tab, with a napkin that had credit card information written on it?

"Sir, we can't accept this"

Heh, well you're gonna have to...

 

[anthonys735]

Living in shitty cinder block dorms is part of the experience(f*ck you Rob). How would you even drive a golf ball down the hallway of some of these places or run a stolen ghetto cable connection through the duct work of an entire floor? Can you even talk to the person in the next room through the electrical outlet? F*ck that.

 

[drxman1]

Sushi for lunch was very nice. Refreshing really.

Little shopping spree (thanks for renting tuxes there!). Man I love rewards game.

Bourbon side hustle is an honest trade.

We’re in the 100 days of summer, hot and toasty time. Leggo

 

[B Rax]

I’d like to punch this whether in the dick !!

 

[krazykats]

Damn it, I wish I had my stuff in time Clark. Sorry just did not work out.

Stagg Jr at 6 is shocking. I know it’s hot, I am not a huge fan of too much heat either, but that cinnamon after taste is just perfect.


GYERO bourbon would be pretty dope.

 

[justa]

Looks like Wandale truly was SEC.

 

[_Chase_]

I’m all for shitty dorms, but the price should reflect that.

 

[anthonys735]

Ours did, not sure how that works at the best biggest state party school in the land but at shitty BU if you wanted the nice dorms it was more.

 

[_Chase_]

All of our dorms were shitty. No options for good ones. I was referring more to the crazy high end bullshit dorms now versus the roach motels. If it’s a shanty you should get a discount.

If it is that way, forget I ever posted this.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

All college will be online in 10 years and none of our kids are ever leaving our homes before the apocalypse anyhow

Best advice I give to incoming students is to find a career you really enjoy bc you're going to die doing it. Retirement is a myth.

 

[Mashburned]

Versus the entire volleyball team. Shewweee.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Most kids (college grads, of course) make 80K right out of college and retire around 55-60.

 

[UK_Dallas]

.....Retirement is a myth.

Seems like some know and don't care.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Where would you be on there?

Seems like the graph needs another column to the left.

Well...since you asked I'm currently in the 41%. But for about 20 years I was in the 6%.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

smh at that “never gonna retire” talk

You guys waste your time with bourbon, savings, etc. your ol’ pal MaxP is sitting pretty with a healthy investment in Dominican Republic time shares

 

[krazykats]

There is no way that is real. Hell I completely cashed out in 2012 after I left accounting, and only been putting back again for 3 years and I’m in the top 5% already.

 

[RibsAndWhiteBread]

Thats how much you put in annually, krazykats... not your entire nest egg.

 

[PTI (pti)]

I don’t think krazykats understands just how terrible the average person is. Go peruse the line at the DMV for a nice cross section of average Americans. You won’t be impressed.

 

[UK_Dallas]

By the way @PTI (pti) , you'll be happy to know I'm among the working again. And of all places a liquor store. Some friends invested in one and needed my help. Might invest in their next one.

And before anyone asks - I can't get you any of the allocated stuff.

 

[PTI (pti)]

ND @ UL



Happy Labor Day

 

[drxman1]

Freshman year should be in the dorms. You’re happy to be anywhere away from your parents.

Ask Catholic back.

 

[GYERater]

Much like the Alabama game last year, I'm sure by the time Labor Day rolls around UofL fans will have convinced themselves that the ND game is basically a push but UofL will have an edge in some key matchup and will walk away with a win.

One of my best friends from growing up went to Governors Scholars, then went to Centre, graduated early, and ended up sleeping on his parents’s living room couch (front room) for years after graduation. (His parents purposefully dismantled his basement bedroom).

Sometime after his failure to launch, his parents took his little sister down for Centre orientation and his dad stopped by the career office. They said, “How can we help you?” And he said, “You can get my son off my couch.”

They handed him an informational booklet titled, “After Centre: SUCCESS!” The cover image is a smiling, carefree, cap & gowned Centre graduate, sitting on a swing hung from an tree. And that carefree graduate... was his son.

He’s doing good now, so I bet the dad got over it. But he was pretty pissed at the time, IIRC.
