Get to Know Your Fellow Canes Fans - PART II

[Carolinas Identity*]

I've never been much of a studier, hence the procrastination. I just need to really get a grasp on how to do a few things that either I did horrible on during the second test or are new for the final.


Plus my (NCSU) GPA could stand to be higher. It's not bad where it is (3.291), but I'd rather it be higher for employment reasons since I don't really have a whole bunch of things besides school on my resume.

Every time you feel bad about your NCSU GPA, just remember that this guy:

Was Captain of his hockey team and Graduated Summa *** Laude from Princeton.

I know that makes me feel better about myself

But I don't have his awesome moustache (yes, I spell it with an O. Come at me!), which makes me feel insecure.

But hey, it's coming in a lot better than I had hoped from when I started it for Movember, so maybe there's a chance.


This attempt at growing a beard to prepare for my trip to Poland, on the other hand...let's not discuss that.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

video games are like controllable tv though tbh.

why watch when you can play.

except for some of the newer FF games tho. Those are 18 hours of cut scenes followed by 18 seconds of doing stuff on an endless loop.

I still don't get why this site censors Latin? 95% (or higher) of people don't know more than one or two words and *** isn't even a swear. It literally means "With". That's like the most innocuous word ever.

wtf #wtf hfboards??!

lmao if u dont have multiple monitors on your pc to watch netflix while playing video games and a slanket (not a snuggie you idiot plebian) to snuggle w/ while shootin dudes in the face or whatever

same goes for consoles b/c lol if you dont have a laptop or something nearby to watch netflix while playing whatever you are who cares this is dumb video games are dumb

Funny story. My italian grandmother was at my college graduation. As they announced every person, they would add cumlaude, magna cumlaude, summa cumlaude as appropriate. After about 15 minutes, she leaned over to the rest of my family and said "Boy, that cumlaude is a big family"

Update: Shaved everything but the moustache. I gave up on the idea of actually having a legitimate beard.
