Anything Goes 23: Fight Fire with Gasoline

There isn't a huge difference between Mountain Dew and Diet Dew. It's nothing like the difference between Pepsi and Diet Pepsi IMO

I can tell the difference unfortunately. if I have diet dew I have to water it down with lots of ice so it masks the taste more

This. Or get a can that is close to freezing so just the pure coldness of the soda makes it taste better.

I can stomach Diet Coke/Pepsi versus the regular one, but I'd always prefer the regular. However, Coke Zero (or better yet Cherry Coke Zero) is incredible to me. I have no idea what's different between Coke Zero and Diet Coke, but I like it so much better.

One uses aspertame (Diet), the other uses a different artificial sweetener.

Diet Dew tastes like a lump of nasty sugar.

Huh, apparently there's a new Blackhawks store that just opened in Old Orchard Mall in Skokie, just a couple minutes away from where I work.

Might have to check that out.

ESPN is giving Grantland the axe.

"Effective immediately we are suspending the publication of Grantland."

I don't really watch ESPN much, but I've never even heard of Grantland.

I went as Pee Wee Herman for Halloween

not surprising after bill simmons was let go and a bunch of writers started defecting.

wonder how long nate silvers a part of espn

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Shame to see, though truth be told I only ever went to Grantland because of Sean McIndoe. If he goes back to just posting on Down Goes Brown or if TSN or some other sports network ads him to their online force, I'll go there for his articles.

I hate waiting around to see how I did on a final exam, especially when it could potentially have a large impact on my grade. Like I wanna know now!

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I might have an awesome career development coming up in the near future.
If everyone could just cross their fingers for me, that'd be awesome.

Student loans are a pain in the butt.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I have to start paying mine.... Ugh.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I'm just happy that I graduated from college merely broke and not in debt.

 

[CptnSerious]

I have to start paying mine.... Ugh.

Fun fun. I'm in the same boat.

Wife and I just finished paying mine off, now we have to finish paying hers off. Should be done by December next year. I came out of college in 2011 with about 25K in debt, she came out with about 45K in debt.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Im about 30k

I made it 2.5 years. Community college first 2, and paid for my first semester at NIU. Then I needed FAFSA and private loans to pay for my apartment, which ended up being the same price as a dorm. Lived in the apartment by myself for 2 years. Apartment + food equaled the price of living in a dorm.

I only got an Associate degree so I'm like $22k or so.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

22 for an associates??
I have my bachelors at 30k. But I had a bomb financial aid package.

School loans are the worst. We go to school to get better jobs, but then we just end up slaving away trying to pay off the loans -__-

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Ill probably end up somewhere in the lower 30 range once it's all said and done, I think. Not terrible considering my schools tuition starts at about 49,000 per year.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

I feel you. Private universities

Yeah, I went to DeVry. I don't even want to think how much a Bachelor's degree is there.
