Title: GRCOAT things you did as a college student
Post by: steve dave on February 18, 2010, 01:44:06 PM
Thought an econ final was later in the day and completely missed it.  Sweet talked the prof. with suggestive body language and verbalization until they let me take the final later and I totally got a B in the class  :cool:

Took 10 years to graduate (enrolled on and off). Still manage to convince myself beer/weed had nothing to do with it.

The bright side is that I got to experience a nice chunk of the DOD and the beginnings of the basketball renaissance we see now. Seems worth it.

On a daily basis I parallel parked in spots where even good parkers would never even dream.  One time this girl was dropping me off at my car because we had worked on a project together at Hale and I was boxed in with like 2 inches on either side of my car and I was all like "both of those cars were there when I parked." And she was like "no way" and I was like "yep" and so there you go.

That's an amazing feeling. Love watching very poor parrallel parkers go at it for about 5 minutes before giving up on a space I could fit their car into twice.

Constantly "stealing"spots from terrible parkers in DC. Of course, I'm driving a car with the turning radius of a Dixon lawn mower, so it's practically cheating (in a good, elite basketball school way). :bball:

Similiar thing to SD. I had an online class that had a dead line every thursday. Well the final was due tuesday. I totally forgot and Kstate Online wouldn't let me upload it. So I emailed him saying that something messed up when uploading it so I emailed it just to make sure. He fell for it. I had a strut in my step that day.

Also, some pud class, I got A's in all the assignments, yet my final grade was a D. I talked to the prof twice and she blew it off like it wasn't her fault. I seriously yelled at her and berated her and stormed out. She emailed me back apologizing. I smacked her with the pimp stick.

I had a bad habit of trying to walk home from aggieville to my house across campus. Ended up sleeping in both Willard one night and Anderson Hall another time. I actually left my phone in Anderson Hall, my roomate got a call from campus police(had sent a "if find call" text") and I was sure I'd they were trying to set me up for breaking an entering when they asked me to come pick it up at the police station.

On a side note: Do they ever lock the doors to any buildings on Campus? Both times I just opened a door and found a nice nook and cranny to sleep in.

It started when a roomate had torn his ACL and got one.  We got addicted to using it for campus parking.

Got into an altercation with Thunder Dan Majerly at Lucky's and had to be rescued by Chris Griffin.

Speaking of Griffin, he got us a late hookup for tickets to a Wednesday night game at Mizzou.  Immediately got our neighbor to drive us out there in his shitty Dodge Charger.  Drank everclear mixes once we got past KC.  Took over driving on the way back and almost drove onto the sidewalk/valet area at Harrah's in KC.

Featured on Topeka channel 13's feature on binge drinking at KSU.  Interviewed while sitting on a keg shell in my living room and live during the 10pm news from Outback while groping newscaster Dana Wright.

I also had some missed test saves and blackout/hospital episodes but everyone seems to be having those so not so GRCOAT.

Used the same parking ticket for two months to avoid getting new ones while illegally parking every day.

Never went to finance class other than first, last, and test nights and got an A.

Me and a roommate got another instructor shipped off to Fort Riley after some horribly bad teacher reviews.

Found out about the ping pong championship 30 minutes before balls flying, hadn't played in a couple of years, ran to sears and bought a cheapo racket, came back and dropped my first game in a best of three round robin, went undefeated the rest of the way to take the money.   The regulars were not very friendly to me for some reason.

As I began my still drunk journey back home to pick up the pieces of my obviously shattered life, I caught a glimpse of silver in the early morning light. Barefoot, I trudged gingerly to the spot where I had seen the curious glimmer only to find my keys near the sidewalk.

A few minutes later, still pondering the good fortune of finding my keys I happened upon my wallet followed shortly after by my phone in a glorious trail leading me home to lick my wounded pride.

The smell of cheap scotch was still quite strong when I found the first shoe, which also posed a quandary. Do I put this one shoe on and risk being seen, allowing some relief to a foot that has already suffered enough, or do I risk the equally ridiculous proposition of being seen walking barefoot while carrying exactly one shoe? I'm not ashamed to say it, I put the shoe on, careful to avoid allowing my altered stride to take me in an endless circle in a quiet Manhattan neighborhood.

Two blocks later, my concentration still on my stride, my hopes were dashed by a wayward piece of trash. Undeterred, I continued on scouring the early-morning landscape for any hint of my lost sole. The sun was beginning to bear down, the vapor from the fleeting dew drew a bead to my brow. Another inconvenience that would be remedied by my bed shortly.

Now just a block away, I turned north only to find my missing sneak placed neatly on the curb -- pointing me on home. I hurriedly put old lefty on the proper appendage and began what felt like a sprint to my door. Fumbling slightly with the lock, I gave a great heave with my shoulder and crashed through the threshold, landing with a loud thud. I struggled to my bed, feeling the air conditioner blast as I slipped into a 15 hour coma.

And thus the epitome of why 06wildcat, who graduated high school in 2000, took a full 6.5 years to get what should have been a 3.5-4 year degree with a straight C average.

tossed a chair out of a Seaton Hall window 30+ feet up.

climbed on top of the Seaton Hall roof to get a frisbee.

"Borrowed" a pristine brand new school belt sander that was locked away in some fenced-off seaton dungeon.  It just sat there all day, unused because the school hadn't figured out a liability policy yet or some crap.  Put it back exactly where it was, with a shitload of sawdust all over it.

For a photoshop class's final assignment (while in Prague<- elite as eff) I submitted an image with a stupid saturation adjustment, put some text on it and the prof loved it because the words were in czech.  Went to like 4 classes the entire semester.  Passed.

Found out about the ping pong championship 30 minutes before balls flying, hadn't played in a couple of years, ran to sears and bought a cheapo racket, came back and dropped my first game in a best of three round robin, went undefeated the rest of the way to take the money.   The regulars were not very friendly to me for some reason.  

Are you Asian?

nope, white bread as they come.

As long as you stay out of Tupamaros neighborhoods and avoid overt political activism, there's no worries about visiting Venezuela under Chavez versus pre-Chavez. Caracas has crime problems...but give it a break. It's a Latin American capital. It has peer pressures and needs to fit in.

I once set a couch on fire in the middle of Bluemont Ave at 3 a.m. I did it with two guys who are now K-State media types. Two cop cars and a fire truck came. Things got interesting, and my buddy slept with a 200-pounder. Details are almost too hard to explain.

Stole a backhoe one night in Aggieville. 

Drove the Campbell Distrubutor's golf cart through Porters and into a brick wall with 4 friends on it (after jumping  a parking block). 

Went into the Legends room during a football game and impersonated a Bramlage Manager and began instructing people where to set things up (the band, the buffet, etc), had a 18 wheeler back up right to the doors of the OOD and unload equipment into the concourse.

more to come later

Who was the econ prof?

No, I went after "the revolution."  I was in Maracaibo for most of it, but I went to Caracas too.  Didn't do much sight-seeing in Caracas, but no one gave a crap I was American.

Won a scholarship to study abroad in Germany for a year.  Didn't do any kind of real work over there, except for writing a paper on why the last chapter of Gullivers Travels was bullocks.  Oh yeah, and took some ESL type classes for dumbass foreigners.  Other than that, drank pretty much non-stop for a year.  Visited all over the country.  Took holiday to Barcelona.  Pretty elite experience, all the way around.

I wish I would have studied abroad.  I imagine that I would have been nailing chicks left and right.  Like Amanda Knox sans murder.
