Just figured I would share the good news. I applied to one college, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and was accepted. I got the notice today. I will be attending the college of engineering with an emphasis in civil engineering. I then plan to major in environmental engineering. I am kind of shocked that I got accepted so fast. It has only been a week or two since they recieved my transcripts from my school. Kind of nice knowing that their civil engineering program is ranked #1 in the country. Go Illini. :joy:

Hey I can double major if I become a bartender. :bustingup I think I will have a good time. I have heard that the college of engineering is a lot of work but that there is still time for fun. Plenty of eye candy when I visited the campus. I see good things in the future... :joy:

Beginner's Tips for college:
#1: Freshmen get screwed on their schedule. If a class is offered at 7:20 AM, you will get the 7:20 AM class - everytime. Best to identify and enroll in a class that is ONLY offered at that time - then drop it promptly after you schedule is set. Now you can sleep in. Ahhhh.
#2: Know when to identify a total prick of a teacher - and drop the class. If it is a manditory class, see if you can take it Pass/Fail only. This way you get the credit for the class if you pass it, but it wont hurt your GPA if you Barely pass it.
Look for teachers who say things like,"Many of you, I am sure, think this class will be easy..." Drop it like a turd or you will NEVER work so hard for a D+ in your life. It is never worth it.
#3: Do not join a fraternity - at least not as a freshman. School is hard enough without all the parties, booze and dope! I am an expert on this one - trust me. As a member of a very social Fraternity, I have seen so many freshman pledges drop out or get forcibly removed by their parents. We ate freshman pledges for breakfast.
#4: Find a very quiet, secluded section of the library to do major papers or studying in. Distractions are a disaster.
#5: This is the most important thing you can possibly do. This will make or break your college career. ONLY DATE GIRLS WHO CAN TYPE! Who do you think is going to type up that hellacious research study you just completed at 3:00 AM and is due by 10:00 AM??? You??? Forget it, you brain is fried by now. Thats when finding the right girl is essential! She will do it for you every time. Phew! Arent you glad you got all that great advice?
You're never to old to be immature

Don't be lazy... you are on a chair with wheels. Just roll to your brothers mini-fridges. It's just down the hall. If I build a bridge you would need to roll uphill... and probably wit your head on the ceiling... :bustingup
